Pamela, sitting next to Florence, was bored.
She was a Howard from DC, so she didn’t care about who took charge of Oregon and California.
She wasn’t interested in the fights between men either.
The only reason she was sitting here was that her family was forcing her to come and see the legendary Master of California, Mr. Gray.
Her plan was to leave this place immediately after seeing the Master of California, but unexpectedly, he hadn’t shown up.
“Aunt, is the Master of California really coming? Is he really afraid?” Pamela said uninterestedly.
Florence smiles. “What’s the rush? Today’s competition hasn’t officially started. Or are you already eager to meet the Master of California?”
“Who says I’m eager to meet him? I just think that this martial arts competition is boring, so if I see him sooner, I’ll be able to leave sooner,” Pamela said indifferently.
Although Pamela seemed uninterested in the Master of California, which was exactly what Florence wanted, she was still a little worried.
“Pamela, are you really not interested in the Master of California? Once he wins today, he will be the overlord of California and Oregon. He’ll have so much power at such a young age. It’s impossible for even the heirs of the eight top families of DC. Aren’t you curious about such a good man?” Florence teased while staring closely at Pamela’s expression to find out how she really felt.
Pamela said impatiently, “Aunt Florence, I’ve already told you that no matter how outstanding the Master of California is, I already have someone in my heart, and he’s the only person I will marry in this life! I won’t consider anyone else! I hope you will remember this and stop saying these things to me.”
Florence raised her eyebrows. “Pamela, I’m your aunt, and there are no outsiders here. Just tell me the truth. Do you really have a man you like, or do you just not want to obey the family’s marriage arrangements for you?”
Pamela sighed. She looked at Florence and said calmly, “Of course I mean it. Since I saw the man I like, I’ve started treating other men like shadows. Even the Master of California won’t be able to win my heart!”
“Are you… truly not willing to marry the Master of California?” Florence confirmed.
‘Yes, I’m not willing! Aunt Florence, just give up!” Pamela answered loudly without hesitation.
Florence was overjoyed, but she didn’t reveal it.
She had met countless people, and she could tell whether Pamela was telling the truth or not.
“Okay, since you’re really not willing to marry the Master of California, as your aunt, I won’t force you.” Florence finally heaved a sigh of relief before adding, “But if you can promise to do one thing for me, I’ll agree to you not marrying the Mastery of California, and I’ll talk to the family for you as well. How does that sound?”
“Really?” Pamela’s eyes immediately lit up, looking at Florence with surprise and anticipation.
“Of course. You’re my niece, and we’re both women. Am I really supposed to force you to marry a man you don’t like? Wouldn’t that harm you for the rest of your life?” Florence said with a doting look.
“Great! Aunt Florence, you treat me better than my mom does!” Pamela was extremely touched, and she immediately leaped over to snuggle in Florence’s arms, all smiles.
She hadn’t been able to sleep well for days because of her family’s order to marry the Master of California. But even though she protested and complained to her parents, she didn’t get any relief. They would only tell her that it was the family’s decision and that it was for her own good, so she should behave.
But she had finally grown up and had the chance to enjoy freedom for so many years abroad, so why should she marry a man she didn’t like and spend the rest of her life with him?
Besides, she was already in love with someone she couldn’t erase from her memory. She couldn’t accept any other man in this lifetime.
What Florence said immediately touched Pamela’s heart, and she had a drastic change in attitude toward Florence, whom she rarely met. In fact, she even had some admiration.
Pamela agreed to help Florence without saying anything else.
“Okay! Aunt Florence, what do you need me to help you with? As long as it’s not about marrying the Master of California, I’m willing to do anything!” Pamela said with a smile of satisfaction.
“No hurry. I’ll tell you about it after the competition!” Florence also smiled. Her plans were unfolding.
She finally dealt with the stumbling block Pamela and even got her to become her helper.
Next, she would acknowledge Cheyenne and then find a way to create a chance for Cheyenne to meet the Master of California and slowly fall in love with him. At that time, she would almost be finished with the matter.
As for Lucas, she wasn’t worried about him because as long as the Master of California fell in love with Cheyenne, he would definitely take the initiative to get rid of Lucas, the greatest obstacle, himself.
A smile of victory gradually appeared on Florence’s lips.
The uproar of shock in the venue due to what Edmund said had yet to end.
Noah stood up furiously and pointed at Edmund. “Mr. Cole, don’t spout nonsense! Even if that kid didn’t show up that day, the Campbells wouldn’t have been in any trouble! I’ve already brought an expert here today, but where’s the Master of
California? Ask him to come out here!”
Edmund sneered. “Don’t be in such a rush to defend yourself. We all know what happened that day!
“Don’t think that you’re invincible now that you’ve found an expert. When Mr. Gray shows up later, you’ll naturally know how ridiculous you are now!”
The two of them started bickering, refusing to give in to the other.
“You’re talking too much nonsense!” Julian suddenly scolded coldly, his voice like thunder resounding throughout the expo center. It immediately made everyone tremble as they closed their mouths and looked over at him in shock.
Ignoring the people around him, Julian stood up and stepped onto the table to jump into the air.
In the blink of an eye, he had already leaped a distance of eight meters and landed directly on the martial arts stage in the middle of the venue.
Boom!
As he landed, cracks appeared all over the concrete floor, and dust flew everywhere..
