Chapter 284
Cameron’s lips curled into a mischievous grin. “Do you really think I’m some beggar?”
Griffin was annoyed, but Cameron’s sharp look made him uneasy. Softening his expression, he responded in a friendly tone, “So, what brings you here?”
Cameron shifted his gaze to Justin. “Oh, nothing much. I just wanted to see my brother. He is about to take my spot.”
Possibly fearing a showdown between Cameron and Justin, Griffin patted Justin’s shoulder gently. “You head on up. I’ll handle this.”
Justin shot Cameron a frosty glare before strutting away, leaving Cameron with a storm brewing inside.
Griffin stepped closer to Cameron and said, “I know throwing a birthday bash for your brother ticked you off. But Cameron, you need to see that I’m doing this for Dawson International’s sake. You caused quite the scandal recently, and the shareholders won’t back you as the leader. Your brother’s just holding the fort temporarily. Once you’re back in the game, he’ll hand things back over.”
meron eyed him, half–convinced, then turned and walked away without a word. Griffin watched him go, shaking his head. Cameron returned to his car but didn’t drive off right away. Despite Griffin’s smooth talk, Cameron sensed something was off. Griffin was clearly keeping him out of the company on purpose.
Around noon, Griffin and Justin left the building. Cameron, in his newly purchased sports car, discreetly tailed them to a cozy little
restaurant.
After parking, Cameron quickly changed clothes, donned a baseball cap, and slipped inside.
In a private room down the corridor, Cameron saw Griffin, his new wife, and Justin all looking like one big happy family.
“Honey, I heard Cameron showed up at the office this morning. Was he causing trouble for Justin?” Mrs. Dawson’s voice had a nervous edge, yet it was undeniably charming.
Griffin reassured her gently, “Don’t worry. As long as I’m here, he won’t lay a finger on Justin.”
Cameron’s handsome face turned icy. He couldn’t believe his father, who had always been so cold at home, could be so tender with this woman. The contrast between love and indifference was stark.
“Mom, relax. Cameron’s no longer the formidable man he once was. Without Dad shielding him, he’s just a weakling. And I’m no pushover–I’m not afraid of him,” Justin boasted smugly.
Griffin laughed heartily. “Justin, you’ve really come into your own. I’ve been counting down the days for this moment.”
O Cameron’s face turned ashen.
As Mrs. Dawson served Griffin more food, she gushed, “Honey, you’re a genius. Cameron’s so much older than Justin, and you’ve paved the way for him. Once Justin grows up, you’ll have the perfect excuse to show Cameron the door. Now we can finally be a family out in the open and keep the Dawson estate intact.”
Hearing this, Cameron’s blood boiled, and anger surged in his eyes.
His father’s betrayal nearly drove him wild, but he managed to contain his fury and left quietly. He hadn’t realized Greta’s suspicions would hit the nail right on the head.
