"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 the 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 kkhow what exactly was on her mind. Ih 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 brough him back, Hector, looked equally pale and didn't dare to utter anything. The pin-drop silence and oppressive atmosphere lasted for a long tuntil Laura finally spoke, her tone especially cold, "Answer me, Phoenix. Why did I send you to Yrando this time?" Phoenix shook violently. "Y-You orderedto assist Cameron." "What did you do, then?" Laura asked next. "II..." 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. "Who instigated you to do this?" "I-It was Mr. Xander." Suddenly, Laura's voice went a few notches lower. "So, you dared defy my orders?" 'No, Ms. Jênes!"

He has complete disregard for the Jones family and almost killed Phoenix "Silence!" Laura snapped coldly, cutting him off. Familiar with Cameron's character, Laura knew that he wasn't the kind to start a fight; Phoenix must have said something overboard that made Cameron mad. However, what triggered her the most was Phoenix informing Alan in private and defying her orders. She sent him over to help, but he was a bystander and did nothing instead! "Yes... Ms. Jones." Hector dared not say more, aware that Laura was furious right now. Laura's current position in the Jones Family was far from it used to be. If she wanted to dismiss an elder, nobody would have the guts to say otherwise. "Ms. Jones, I'm really sorry. Please giveanother chance. I won't do it again!" Seeing that not even Hector could save him, Phoenix trembled in fear uncontrollably. "Do you think there's a next time?" The coldness in Laura's voice was deeper than ever. If Lena hadn't arrived with help, Cameron might have died at the Zimmers', right under Roger's claws! Did Phoenix think that he could get away with << mere apology? "M-Ms. Jones*vit was not my idea.
