Chapter 296 Toast, Roast, and Boast

Cameron felt the girl looked familiar. After a moment, he recognized her from Easton and Ellis’s wedding–she was the maid of honor, even though he rarely interacted with Ellis. What was her name? Maya, right?

Scanning the room, Cameron spotted several familiar faces and couldn’t help asking. “What’s going on here?”

It was tense, like something out of a scene where Ellis’s best friend was being bullied, prompting Ellis to step in.

Just as Cameron had guessed, Maya was indeed being bullied. Her phone had been dunked in a drink as a joke,‘ and she was being forcefully fed alcohol, unable to leave.

Upon arrival, Ellis found Maya being coerced into drinking by none other than Andrew.

Hearing Cameron’s question, Andrew smirked cheekily, “Mr. Cameron, we’re just having fun, can’t you tell?”

Cameron wasn’t part of Andrew’s clique. Looking at Andrew’s smug grin, he seemed like a no–good thug. He glanced at Ellis and her friend, asking, “Ellis, what’s your take?”

Andrew had merely invited a junior lawyer to enjoy some leisure time in hopes of securing a legal services contract for his family’s company. Thinking the lawyer was easy prey, he aimed to take her to bed. But she was no pushover.

Unexpectedly, the former Mrs. Hudson came looking for the lawyer, appearing to rescue her, but Andrew was unfazed.

Ellis, with no influence or substantial inheritance from Easton, had fallen from grace and was practically a nobody. If it hadn’t been for her looks, even Andrew might have considered having his way with her.

Ellis, urged by Cameron to describe the situation, knew Andrew wasn’t intimidated.

People generally avoid meddling, and with Ellis ousted from high society, it seemed unlikely that Cameron would bother.

Ellis knew Andrew’s true colors–lechery was his nature.

Ellis refused to give Andrew any face as she pointedly said at the door, “Somebody’s acting like a thug.”

It was clear whom she meant.

Andrew, undisturbed, still smiling, said, “Mrs. Hudson–no, the former Mrs. Hudson, you’re being harsh. You misunderstand me. I’m a legitimate businessman just giving your friend a chance at my company’s contract.”

Ellis bit her redlip in displeasure at Andrew’s demeaning words.

Even if Morty hadn’t asked him to help Ellis out, Cameron would still intervene out of sheer disdain for Andrew’s bully–boy tactics against the girls.

Crossing Cameron was bad for business, especially since the Monash family was more influential and wealthier than his own.

After speaking with Cameron, Andrew returned to his friendly demeanor, telling Ellis and Maya, “Ms. Maya has had a bit too
