Chapter 80
The Jones family.
Cameron’s gaze was cold as he thought about the past.
His phone rang, interrupting his deep thoughts. He looked at the screen. It was a number he didn’t recognize.
Cameron hung up the phone immediately, thinking it was a scam call. However, the phone rang again quickly. Cameron frowned as he answered the call.
“Hello, may I ask who’s calling?” Cameron asked.
There was only silence on the other end of the phone.
“Did you dial the wrong number?” Cameron was about to hang up.
“Cameron, it’s indeed your voice,” the person on the other end spoke.
It was a woman’s voice. Her voice was ethereal.
Within that ethereal quality, there was a natural coldness in her tone, like a secretive icy spring,
highly recognizable.
But upon hearing this voice, Cameron’s gaze instantly turned cold.
It was her.
It was Laura.
“It’s been seven years. Are you doing well?” The woman spoke again.
“I’m doing very well.” Cameron’s tone grew even colder.
“I knew it. I knew you would give me this attitude,” the woman’s voice sounded slightly more upset.
Cameron didn’t answer.
“For seven years, I’ve been searching for you tirelessly,” the woman continued with a hint of
tenderness in her cold tone.
“Is that so?” upon hearing this, Cameron only sneered at it.
However, the woman didn’t seem to be affected. Her tone was still filled with gentleness as she spoke, “Cameron, I’ll be visiting Yrando tomorrow. Can you meet with me?”
“Can I meet with you? Do you think that is necessary, Ms. Jones?”
“Cameron… I’m…”
“Ms Jones, you are the eldest daughter of the Jones family, the wealthiest family in Leving. I’m just a random person from a family that had fallen from grace. I fear my presence would taint your eyes,

Cameron said with a hint of mockery and self–depreciation.
He no longer wished to dwell on the past.
“Cameron, please listen to me…”
“There is no need, Ms. Jones. Both our time is valuable. Please don’t disturb me again. The Cameron you once knew died seven years ago,” Cameron interrupted her and ended the call.
He had never expected Laura to have his phone number.
Did Lord Blackheart give it to her?
But none of that mattered now,
There would never be any possibility between him and Laura.
However, he didn’t foresee that even after so many years, he still couldn’t feel calm when he heard Laura’s voice.
It seemed like he still had a lot of internal work to do.
He drew a deep breath. He then decided to go out for a walk to clear his mind.
At this moment, he received a text.
The
message notification popped up on the screen. It was from the same number as before.
Cameron opened the message. It was a lengthy one.
“Cameron, please don’t say that! I know what happened seven years ago has caused you pain, and it’s justified for you to hate me. But please, give me a chance to make it up to you. I have been looking for you all these years. This time, I will be in Yrando for no more than half a month.”
Cameron stopped here and didn’t read further.
He slid his finger across the screen and deleted the message. He also blocked the number.
He didn’t need any form of redemption.
He didn’t want to have anything to do with Laura anymore.
Right now, he simply wanted to live a life he could call his own.
