Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 123

Chapter 123 

1/2 

Laura gazed out the window, lost in thought. 

“Ms. Jones, Otis has contacted Colonel Bailey. She said she clarified things with Cameron, and he has already returned,” Peggy reported as she walked into the room. 

“Okay, noted,” Laura replied. 

Her voice was tinged with weariness. 

“Ms. Jones, what’s wrong?” 

Peggy immediately sensed something was off with Laura. Usually, Laura would be pleased to hear such news. 

“Alan said he’s arriving in Yrando in a few days,” Laura revealed the reason behind her mood. 

She believed there was no reason to hide it. 

“Alan?” 

Peggy’s eyes lit up. 

“Is he coming back from the warzone overseas?” 

“Yes,” Laura nodded. 

Peggy couldn’t help but feel joyful. 

“Isn’t that good news, miss?” 

“But I don’t want to see him right now.” 

Laura’s tone conveyed a sense of distance and coldness. 

“But he’s your fiancé, and you know how Alan feels about you. He must be hurrying back from the warzone just to see you,” Peggy spoke highly of Alan. 

In her eyes, only a man with genuine masculine charm like Alan was worthy of Laura–unlike Cameron, who she thought was a cowardly braggart. 

Peggy couldn’t fathom what Laura saw in him to make the journey from Leving to Yrando. And yet, she was constantly disparaged by him. 

Alan surely wouldn’t have let Cameron off easily if he had known about this. After all, Alan wasn’t just competent. He was born into a military family. His grandfather was the deputy commander of the Leving military warzone, and Alan himself was a vice marshal there. In Leving, such social status was highly regarded. 

This was why the Jones family head, Boris, had promised Laura’s hand in marriage to Alan. If the two families were united, the Jones family’s position in Leving could be solidified for at least the next 

Century. 

The consequences would be unimaginable if Laura broke off the engagement. If Alan’s family was angered, even the vast Jones family might be unable to endure it.
