Reborn From Oblivion

Cameron sighed, "I know, I'll be the butt of everyone's jokes. But I'm not scared..."

Will shook his head, "No, being laughed at is the least of your problems. You'd end up wrecking the Dawson family's future. If you and Greta split up, the Dawson family will disappear from the Capital in no time. I can't let that happen." Cameron felt a deep pain, "Grandpa, the Dawson family is beyond saving."

Will replied, "The Dawson family may not be what it used to be, but even a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. If you put your heart into it, there's still a chance for Dawson International to make a comeback. Remember, I started from scratch. Don't lose hope, Cameron. With your smarts, bringing Dawson International back is within reach."

Cameron said, "Grandpa, even if Dawson International gets back on its feet, so what? We have a huge legacy, and no one to pass it on to."

Will sighed heavily, "That's on you. With so many women out there, why did you fall for one who can't have kids?"noveldrama

Cameron admitted, "I made a poor choice."

Standing at the door, Greta felt like her heart was being pierced by a thousand needles hearing those hurtful words.

Was this how much Cameron despised her now?

Could he really think of her as a heartless schemer out for money and causing harm?

Will's next words cut even deeper, "Cameron, Greta really isn't the right match for you. But now isn't the right time for a divorce. The only way out for you is if she's out of the picture - unless she dies." Cameron stayed silent for a long time.

Greta felt a chill run through her, her steps unsteady as she stumbled away.

Back in her room, it felt like her insides were still in turmoil.

This elite family was terrifying.

On the outside, they seemed like charitable businesspeople, but behind closed doors, they treated lives like they were worthless.

She couldn't help but wonder if

Right now, she knew she had to get away from the Dawson family.

So that evening, when Cameron returned home, Greta managed to

Cameron studied her face, "Why the sudden urge to go home?"

Greta replied, "The doctor's been calling, saying my dad's health is getting worse, and he might not have much time left. I figured, since I'm not busy, I should spend some time with him." She maintained a cat and composed demeanor.

Since Cameron accused her of being disloyal and unfilial, she decided to show him she could be a dutiful daughter.

Cameron's expression was hard to read, his eyes filled with skepticism.

"Alright. Then go," he said.

Greta gazed out the window, watching the night sky swallow the world like a giant beast.

She looked at Cameron with a hint of sadness, "Cameron, can you drive me home?"

Cameron replied, "Sure."

He obligingly drove the car out of the garage, and once Greta got in, silence settled between them.

Greta awkwardly turned to look out the window. In that moment, she felt a bit silly for her misplaced feelings.

Before, she would've thought Cameron's willingness to help was a sign of his love. Now, she realized it was just a habit. He was slowly cutting ties with her.

And when he finally let her go, she'd be nothing more than a familiar stranger to him.
