Azalea was so frightened that tears streamed down her face. She started to regret provoking this demon of a man. Soon, she looked at him with a pleading gaze and cried, “You keep saying you like me, but why are you treating me like this?”
Cameron wiped away her tears and gently coaxed, “I won’t hit you if you behave, okay?” Azalea felt a sense of unease, but she had to force herself to stay calm.
She then tried to understand his mindset. The reason he always could hold himself back despite liking her was because he knew that Eugene wasn’t interested in her. But when he saw Eugene give up on Olivia and come to save her just now, Cameron naturally assumed that Eugene had feelings for Azalea. That was why he finally couldn’t take it anymore.
That means that I have to keep him stable now. Her tears continued to flow, making the already- beautiful woman even more gorgeous. It was enough to evoke sympathy from anyone who saw her.
“…I just didn’t want to admit it. Eugene saved me out of gratitude for saving his life. He doesn’t actually like me… Why didn’t you tell me earlier if you’ve liked me for a long time? I would have known earlier if you had told me.”
Cameron seemed calmer when he heard those words. “Have you started liking me now that you already know?” Azalea stared at his face and cautiously replied, “I will come to like you in the future.”
She thought she had said something disgusting enough, but Cameron was still unsatisfied. He narrowed his eyes as his voice turned intimidating. “You will come to like me in the future? Does that mean you don’t like me now?”
Azalea’s heart almost jumped out of her throat from fright. She hastily explained, “You just confessed to me, right? I haven’t even given this any thought.”
“Well, think about it now,” Cameron coldly instructed. Azalea only looked at him. As much as she wished to sink her teeth into the man and tear him apart, she couldn’t afford to not comply when facing this emotionally unstable man. In the end, she looked into his eyes and gave a small nod.
Cameron finally broke into a smile as he leaned in to kiss her. Seeing this, Azalea subconsciously shrank to the side. “No…”
His face darkened again, and his eyes were filled with malice as he started to lose his temper. Just then, Azalea’s phone rang. She hurriedly urged, “Why don’t you answer the call first? Don’t let anyone disturb us.”
Her soft and gentle tone caused Cameron’s thoughts to involuntarily waver. He obediently took the phone and saw that it was a call from Eugene. With a cold demeanor, he answered the phone and glanced through the ventilation opening. Sure enough, Eugene was already nearby.
“Did you come by yourself?” Cameron asked.
“Yes. Where are you?”
“Container 34. Come here alone. Don’t try anything funny.” Azalea’s eyes widened in surprise. Why did he say Container 34 when we are in Container 14? She screamed frantically, “Eugene, come and save me! I’m in Container 14-Mmph-”
Cameron immediately covered her mouth with his hand and promptly ended the call. His threatening gaze locked onto Azalea, and he swiftly slapped her twice while he viciously spat, “You claim to like me, but you are calling for Eugene to save you? Are you f*cking with me?”
Azalea’s ears were buzzing from the blows and her face was numb. She had never experienced such humiliation before.
She was instantly consumed with anger. Pointing at Cameron, she scolded loudly, “Cameron, let go of me right now! Have you ever taken a good look at yourself? You think you are worthy of liking me?!”
Cameron scoffed at that. “And who exactly do you think you are? Your father was executed for treason. The king only spared your life out of gratitude for your past merits from saving Eugene. Do you really still think of yourself as the Princess of Namb? And I am unworthy, you say? I’m more than deserving of you!”
As soon as he said those words, he forcefully lifted her skirt and pressed himself against her.
“Ah!” Azalea shrieked in fear. However, Cameron immediately stuffed a glove in her mouth to silence her. Now that he no longer heard the annoying. noise from beside his ear, he untied the rope binding her legs.
The only thing that could be heard from the container next was the sound of rhythmic thumping.
