Chapter 130: Lion’s Den
Cammy could no longer contain her amusement. A soft giggle escaped her lips before she chuckled outright, making Greg’s brows knit together in further confusion.
"I just want to collect the things that were either gifted to me or purchased with my own money," she clarified, amusement dancing in her eyes. "I still have my pride, you know. I won’t take anything that came from Duncan. He can take it all to his grave for all I care."
Greg let out an exaggerated sigh of relief, pressing a hand to his chest. "Damn, Cammy, don’t do that! I seriously thought you were about to tell me you were accepting his offer and staying there while he’s out. My heart was already shattering into pieces."
Cammy burst into laughter at his dramatic reaction. "Haha! I knew you’d react like that. I was just teasing you!" Then, her expression softened. "Can you come with me?"
Greg stiffened, his fork pausing mid-air once more. For a moment, he wasn’t sure whether to feel pleased that she wanted him by her side or anxious about stepping onto Duncan’s turf.

Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he leaned back with a smirk. "Are you sure you want me to come with you? I mean... it’s Duncan’s house. For all I know, he’s given his guards a shoot-on-sight order for me."
Cammy threw her head back in laughter. "Oh, come on! He’s not that reckless. Besides, if you’re really that paranoid, you can always wait in the car while I grab our things. The maids can help me carry them anyway."
Greg scoffed and shook his head. "No way. I’m coming with you. I’ll help you carry everything myself." He leaned in, his smirk deepening. "Partners, remember?"
