Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 340

"Hmmm… About two hours ago," Dakota answered after recalling for a second.

"Two hours ago?"

The look in Cameron's eyes shifted. Two hours ago happened to be the time he was having a confrontation with the Zimmers. Just as he thought, Phoenix was sent by Laura.

"Cameron… Should I return her call now?" Dakota asked.

At that time, she was still unclear of the situation and wanted to call Cameron to ask him about it. However, the Zimmers barged in with their men before she had the opportunity.

Breathing in softly, he replied, "We'll speak about that later and attend to your injuries first. It will be bad if they leave scars."

The utmost important thing now was to treat Dakota. As for Laura, he decided to set her aside for now. Moreover, he didn't know what exactly was on her mind.

In the meantime, in the penalty room of the Jones family, the atmosphere was so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.

Laura wore a deadpan face, and the iciness she was emanating could almost freeze a person's soul.

Severely injured, Phoenix sprawled on the floor with his head hanging, not daring to meet Laura's eyes. Next to him, the elder who saved and brought him back, Hector, looked equally pale and didn't dare to utter anything.

The pin-drop silence and oppressive atmosphere lasted for a long time until Laura finally spoke, her tone especially cold, "Answer me, Phoenix. Why did I send you to Yrando this time?"

Phoenix shook violently. "Y-You ordered me to assist Cameron."

"What did you do, then?" Laura asked next.

"I-I…" Phoenix stuttered, unable to form a sentence. He was clearly aware of the consequences of going against Laura's orders.

"Answer me!" Laura's tone was stern and laced with an iciness that sent a shiver down Phoenix's spine.

Phoenix was still shaking like a leaf in the wind. "I-I… watched from the side and didn't help him."

"What else?" The coldness on Laura's face intensified.

"After that, I gave Cameron… a little lesson." With his head lowered, Phoenix stuttered even harder. He didn't dare to lie because he knew that Laura already knew everything.
