“| never expected Madison to do something like this,” Dakota said with a hint of sadness in her eyes.
Before this incident, she had always believed that her friendship with Madison was unbreakable. She never thought that it was actually so fragile.
“Yeah,” Cameron said, his eyes narrowing as a deep, cold glint flashed across them.
He couldn't believe that Madison would go to such lengths, even conspiring with Caspian, just to ruin Dakota's innocence.
“Do you hate her?” Cameron asked in a soft voice.
Dakota hesitated for a moment, wanting to say something, but ultimately only managed a weak smile.
She couldn't deny that she felt angry at Madison for what she had done to her and how she had been willing to believe the worst about her. However, more than hatred, there was a profound sense of

Thinking that Dakota might still be concerned about the misunderstanding, Cameron continued Besides, we're going to Caesar Hotel tomorrow for the banquet. When Timothy arrives, any
misunderstandings will naturally be cleared up
“What?” Madison was surprised. “Are we really going there tomorrow?”
They had just fallen out with Madison, so she thought it wouldn’t be a good idea to go
“Of course,” Cameron replied seriously.Content is property of NôvelDrama.Org.
“Tomorrow’s banquet was only arranged because Timothy wanted to make amends. If we don’t go, the banquet won’t happen.”
“What?” Madison was even more bewildered. She looked at Cameron with deep astonishment in her eyes. “Cameron, what is your relationship with Mr. Dashner?” 1

He and Timothy had indeed only met once, back on the battlefield in the Midlands ten years ago.
“Just once? Then, why is he...” Dakota was too surprised to think clearly.

“| won't tell you...”
