Archie and Madison soon calmed down.
They noticed that there was more to Cameron than meets the eye…
“Madison, didn’t you say he was a moocher?” Archie frowned and asked in a lowered tone.
“He is, honey. He’s just a good–for–nothing moocher. He was a househusband and took advantage of me for 5 years straight!” Madison huffed through gritted teeth.
She didn’t know what was happening!
“I see.” Archie sucked in a deep breath. “Let’s wait until Mr. Dashner arrives.”
“Okay.” Madison nodded. Frustration began to brew within her.
Madison didn’t mind Cameron mooching off of her! But she couldn’t accept that Cameron had changed into a better person after he had left her. He was now out of her league!
But Cameron was just supposed to be a broken toy!
The four of them returned to the private room.
“You’re here, Mr. Morgan, Ms. Jennings!” Caspian greeted the two warmly.
“Hello, Lord Caspian.” Dakota greeted him.
“Just call me Caspian, Ms. Jennings.” Caspian swallowed hard. He added, “Ms. Jennings, feel free to throw my name around if anyone causes you trouble in Yrando. I doubt anyone is dumb enough to cross you once you do!”
He shot Archie a look when he said this.
Of course, Archie and Madison’s faces fell at this.
They quickly offered an apologetic smile. “Of course, Lord Caspian. What happened earlier was just due to a misunderstanding!”
“They’re right, Lord Caspian. Dakota is our friend. Why would we cause her trouble?” Stella and the others piped up hurriedly.
They regretted their choice having backed the wrong horse!
That stupid Madison had them believe that this banquet was thrown because of Archie’s connection with Timothy. But the truth was that the banquet was held for Cameron!
Madison felt the aggrieved gazes directed at her and felt her cheeks heating up.
How would she face them in the future now?
“Alright, since everyone is here. Let’s begin the banquet,” Caspian announced.
Chapter 52
“Have a seat, Mr. Morgan, Ms. Jennings!” Casplan shot his men a look, and they immediately pulled out two chairs for the couple.
“My apologies, Mr. Morgan, Ms. Jennings, I should have been the one helping you with the chairs Bor my arms…” Casplan felt embarrassed.
“It’s fine, Lord Caspian. We’re also partially at fault here. Please don’t take it to heart.” Dakota
reassured kindly.
“No, it was my fault to fall for a lie.” Caspian shot Archie and Madison another dirty look.
The two paled and lowered their heads Immediately.
“Bring in the dishes, Jimmy!” ordered Casplan.
“Right away, sir!” Jimmy complied.
Soon, the dishes were served.
Caspian stood up and had his men pour him a glass of red wine. “Mr. Morgan, Ms. Jennings, I apologize for my actions yesterday. Thank you for finding it in you to forgive me. A toast to you!”
With that, he ordered his men to bring the wine to his mouth before he downed it.
“Impressive, Lord Caspian!” The crowd cheered.
Stella and the rest also toasted Cameron and Dakota as an apology.
“We’re sorry about that earlier, Dakota. It was in the heat of the moment and we couldn’t think straight. I ask for you and your boyfriend’s forgiveness.”
“She’s right, Dakota. Please forgive us.
“Your boyfriend is so humble, Dakota!”
“Can we still be friends, Dakota?”
All of a sudden, they surrounded Cameron and Dakota.
As for Archie and Madison, they were utterly ignored and pushed to a corner.
They were supposed to be the stars of today’s show. But now…
They wanted to leave but the situation didn’t allow it. After all, Timothy wasn’t here yet!
Wait! Why wasn’t Timothy here yet?
Madison suddenly had a thought, Cameron and Dakota must have bribed Caspian into stopping Timothy from coming. So, Caspian must be siding with those two! Why else would Timothy be absent. from the banquet?
Dirty tricks like this were Cameron’s go–to move! The only reason why he had managed to get on Venizon Cruise was because he bribed the guards!

Madison gritted her teeth at the thought. She was going to expose Cameron now and seize her spotlight!
