Upon seeing Kingsley hesitating, Cameron smiled and spoke up for him. "My grandmother said she likes Mr. Nicholson and hopes that he can become a close friend to the Sheffield Family… Just like... family."
Her words were initially harmless.
However, they now carried a different meaning.
Alice raised an eyebrow and rebuked, "Family? Kingsley and I are already family, so I wonder what family you plan on becoming with him?"
Cecilia also raised her chin and challenged, "That's right. Even if you want to invite Kingsley to your home, you should wait your turn."
At that moment, Cecilia felt a stronger sense of crisis with Cameron than with Alice.
Moreover, she was now vaguely aligning herself with Alice.
"Oh, you must be Miss Larson." Cameron covered her mouth and chuckled. "I wonder whether you like the engagement ring you bought from my store."
Then, as if she suddenly remembered something, she apologized, "Oh, my apologies, Miss Larson. I forgot that your engagement with Mr. Carter has been canceled. You must be very sad, right? I guess it will be long before you can invest in a relationship again."
Although Cameron's words were slightly ambiguous, her tone and expression were serious and dignified.
There was nothing wrong with her attitude.
"You!"
Cecilia was so angry that her face turned red, but she couldn't come up with a retort.
After all, the news of her breaking off the engagement with Shane was almost known to everyone.
They were a three-woman play.
Moreover, these three women were each more formidable than the other.
Baron didn't dare to continue watching the spectacle and quietly retreated, preparing to leave this room filled with the smell of tension and jealousy.
In the meantime, Wendell lay on the bed, secretly anxious. If these three women started fighting, it wouldn't affect him, right?
After all, it was a fight between women, and Kingsley's women at that.
Even if ten thousand brothers were at the door, no one would dare to intervene.
