Chapter 174
Chapter 174 Asharp voice pierced Cameron’s eardrums and caused them to swell with pain. When Cameron realized what was happening, he quickly covered Peggy’s mouth.
“Umm!” Cameron muffled Peggy’s mouth. She could only make indistinct noises. Her eyes widened in terror at the unexpected visitor in the women’s changing room.
Her legs, clad in black stockings, flailed about. She nearly hit Cameron in his private part. Fortunately, Cameron took a step back just in time to avoid it. “Stop screaming. I’m not here to peep. There’s an assassin nearby!” Cameron whispered urgently.
Peggy's expression flickered with fear. She then realized that the intruder was Cameron. Seeing that Peggy had stopped struggling, Cameron removed his hand from her mouth.
“Cameron, you big pervert!” she exclaimed. Once able to speak again, Peggy immediately clenched her teeth and glared at Cameron with intense hostility.
She was convinced that Cameron was just making up excuses for his voyeuristic actions. She knew there couldn't be anyone else here, let alone an assassin.
“Peggy, I’m telling the truth.”
Cameron shook his head helplessly as he looked at Peggy’s expression of disbelief.
However, a thought struck him. He scrutinized Peggy and asked, “Peggy, what brings you here, anyway?” He felt that changing stockings in such a place during the day seemed quite odd.
“That’s my question for you! What’s a man doing in the women’s changing room?” Peggy chided as she stared at Cameron.
The thought of Cameron watching her change her stockings made her cheeks flush angrily.
“Uh...
Cameron paused. He realized Peggy might have a point. He explained, “I sensed danger while
| was in the lobby. It seemed to be coming from this changing room.”
“Why didn’t you check the men’s changing room then?” Peggy interrogated.
“| did. It was empty,” Cameron replied.
“Alright,” Peggy said, remaining skeptical of Cameron’s words.
She continued, “You claim you weren’t here to spy on me. Then why didn’t | hear your footsteps?”NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.
“Look, | was here to catch an assassin. Wouldn’t making noise just alert them?” Cameron looked at Peggy and added, “You haven't answered my question. Why are you here?”

“It's all because of you!” Peggy huffed. She was visibly irritated.
“Because of me?” Cameron was taken aback.
He wondered how this was related to him.
“Yes, because of you!” Peggy fumed. “If Ms. Jones hadn't decided to host some big celebration for you, | wouldn’t have had to accompany her to supervise the site. And | wouldn’t have gotten my stockings caught on that damn steel rebar.”
She added, “I don’t know what Ms. Jones sees in you. She’s much too involved in this trivial matter!” “Laura is doing this for me?” Cameron was moved. He hadn’t expected Laura to supervise the site personally for his sake. “Yes, you're just lucky!” Peggy said in annoyance.
She had never seen Laura so invested in a person or a matter in all the years she had been by her side. She felt that if Alan knew, he would probably die of jealousy.
Cameron let out a sigh. This only strengthened his resolve to meet Laura and get to the bottom of things. He suddenly remembered something. Cameron's eyes flashed with urgency as he quickly asked Peggy, “Where is Ms. Jones now? Where is she?”
With the assassin nowhere in sight, Cameron knew the consequences would be severe if the assassin found Laura, especially if she was alone.
