Chapter2
After Kamron finished dealing with his fans and walked into the
waiting lounge, Mariana went over and introduced herself. “Hello, I’m Mariana Mueller.”
“Mariana, right?” Kamron sounded a bit impatient. “Need an autograph?”
Mariana raised her eyebrows, composed herself, and said, “Could you take a look at me? Do you recognize me?”
Such a graceful figure…
Kamron pushed down the sunglasses and sized her up. “Not bad. This crutch look is pretty unique. It definitely got my attention. Is it fun at night?”
As Kamron spoke, he reached out to pat her crutch. Mariana raised her hand in disgust and swung it. The crutch happened to hit his hand.
“Ouch.” Kamron raised his hand and licked it. “So feisty? I like it!”
Mariana narrowed her eyes. Kamron seemed totally different from last night. They didn’t talk last night, but he felt solid and reliable, not like the wild and unruly guy he appeared to be now.
Seeing her in a trance, Kamron blinked. “Will you come with me to Ironham tonight?”
Mariana snapped out of her thoughts and said, “No need. We’re both adults. I can let what happened last night go, but I do have a simple condition.”
“Last night? I don’t remember.” Kamron looked suspicious.
What a jerk!
Mariana sneered, knowing that Kamron was trying to deny it. Fortunately, she kept evidence.
She calmly took out her phone and scrolled two fuzzy but recognizable pictures of Kamron. She showed them to him. “Last night, at the Glitz Hotel, room 8868. Do you need me to remind you in more detail?”
Kamron’s eyes widened as he stared at the phone. As he looked, his eyes suddenly sparkled. “Are you sure… you… were at the Glitz Hotel last night?”
“I also have the hotel surveillance age,” Mariana said impatiently. “I only have one simple request. I won’t let you suffer losses, but if you insist on denying it, I don’t mind making a big deal out of it. You can try me.”
Kamron’s expression changed dramatically. Before he could finish speaking, he ran away. “Excuse me for a second.”
He went to a corner and made a phone call. Two minutes later, he came back, changing his previous dissolute tone. “Miss, whatever you want, just name it!
“Also, recently in Forechester, they’re selecting beautiful ladies to participate in the Global Gala for Socialites. I think you have a great aura. Do you want to give it a try?”
Kamron changed his expression so quickly. Mariana’s eyes narrowed slightly. She still felt wary of him, but…
A few days ago, Ralph had told her that first, they would finalize the collaboration between Sandra and Kamron, and then use the

opportunity to let Sandra participate in the selection for the Global Gala for Socialites.
The Montoya Group had the final say in this selection. She had to help Sandra smooth things over with the Montoya Group in any way
possible.
Since this selection was related to Sandra, she was actually a bit
interested.
Moreover, this gala was rated by Forbes as one of the world’s top ten luxury galas. She just needed such an opportunity to declare to the world that she, Mariana, was making a comeback!
“I’m a cripple. Are you sure it’s suitable?” she still asked cautiously.
“The theme for the Global Gala for Socialites is dream girl. Disabled girls can also pursue their dreams, right?”
Kamron hit the nail on the head. Mariana was at a loss for words. After a pause, she hinted, “If I go, will there be a result?”
“As long as you go, of course, there will be a result! You know what I mean!” Kamron winked at her.
Mariana pursed her lips and raised an eyebrow. “Is this hush–money?”
The Montoya Group had been in the business world for decades and knew how to play the game. The Montoya family believed that people were complicated, and a simple small request might not be foolproof. She could–understand that.
“If you want to think of it that way, that’s fine.” Kamron’s expression was a bit comical.
“Okay. If you help me participate in the Global Gala for Socialites

smoothly, I’ll delete these photos,” she promised readily.
Kamron nodded with a smile and then asked, “By the way, you said you had a request?”
“It’s simple. Cancel the meeting with Sandra’s company. If they call to ask, just say your schedule has suddenly changed and reschedule for another time. Got it?” said Mariana.
Kamron nodded. “Got it! Got it!”
Watching Mariana turn around and leave confidently, Kamron stroked his chin and was lost in thought.
He confirmed Edwin Montoya’s itinerary last night with the butler just now. Now his curiosity got the better of him. He picked up his phone and dialed a number.
In the conference hall on the top floor of the Montoya Edifice, all the department managers at headquarters were sitting around the conference table. Edwin was leading them in a video conference with global branches.
The phone vibrated. The special assistant Colin Suarez picked it up and respectfully replied, “Mr. Montoya, it’s Kamron. He says he has something urgent to talk to you about.”
“Put it on speaker.” Edwin glanced over coldly and thought, “What could be so important?”
The speakerphone was turned on, and Kamron’s excited voice came out of the receiver. “Uncle Edwin, did you sleep with a woman last night?”
The conference room fell awkwardly silent. Everyone tried hard to control their expressions.

Edwin grabbed the phone, turned off the speakerphone, and said in a cold voice, “Why do you ask?”
