Chapter 105
The clean, decisive technique proved fatal. Lena's gaze shook as she questioned herself, but knew she couldn't have done it. The other party was also an expert! Delivering a fatal blow wouldn't have been difficult, but Lena knew she lacked the strength to shatter the opponent's sternum to that extent.
Could it have been Cameron? The thought sent shivers down her spine, inducing cognitive dissonance. No, she had to investigate thoroughly!
Lena took a deep breath, used her remote communicator to instruct her subordinates to handle the corpse on the mountaintop, and then drove her pickup truck back to the military region to access Cameron's files.
Cameron immediately returned Lord Blackheart's call at Azure Residence.
"Blackheart, I need you to investigate something," Cameron said grimly.
"Sir, please proceed."
"Laura and I were ambushed and attacked by mercenaries at the foot of the ring road. They were targeting Laura. I need you to find out who's behind it." Cameron's voice was cold and determined. He couldn't stand idly by, even if he had no direct connection to Laura; besides, she was in Yrando because of him.
"I understand, sir. I'll have someone investigate immediately!" Lord Blackheart's voice was somber. Whoever dared to attack Cameron and Laura was asking for death.
"Okay," Cameron said, hanging up. His phone rang again. He saw it was Dakota.
"Cameron, do you have a moment?" Dakota's gentle voice asked.
"Yes," Cameron replied mildly. "What's up?"
"Um Ms. Jones called me." Dakota paused, disbelief in her tone. (The following sentence about searching FindNovel.net has been removed as it is an advertisement.)
"Laura called you?" Cameron was surprised. "Are you sure it was really her?"
"Yes, definitely Ms. Jones. I thought it was a scam, but she added me on Messenger, and we video chatted." Initially, she thought it was a scammer, given the prevalence of celebrity impersonators. Only after Laura added her on Messenger and they video chatted did Dakota confirm her identity.
"Why did she contact you?" Cameron's mood tightened.
"She said she saw my profile and wanted to meet to discuss potential collaboration projects," Dakota replied. She still couldn't believe Laura, her idol, wanted to collaborate with her.
"Did you agree?" Cameron's eyes flickered.
"Yes," Dakota nodded. "Cameron, I'm really nervous"
"Did she say anything else?" Cameron's mind was elsewhere. He knew Laura contacting Dakota couldn't be merely about collaboration.
"No."
"Okay."
"Cameron, what's wrong? You sound strange."
"It's nothing I'm just happy for you."
"But I'm really nervous. Can you accompany me?" Dakota bit her lip. Cameron was the first person she thought of after talking to Laura.
"When?" Cameron asked.
"Right now."
"Now?" Cameron murmured, frowning. Less than half an hour had passed since he and Laura parted ways. Yet, she had already sought out Dakota. What did she want?
