BookToReadChapter 386 Upon learning the truth, Cameron felt like his heart was weighed down with lead. What was once a heart full of trust and love now felt overstuffed and ready to burst. It couldn't bear the weight of betrayal and the collapse of love, shattering into pieces.
His face was pale, and he seemed unsteady on his feet.
He finally realized that his relationship with Greta was nothing but a tapestry of lies.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt was ridiculous.
Greta was a master of deception, and he was just the puppet in her show. She had used him to cut down those he cared about most. And he, foolishly, played the role of her devoted fool.
He thought, 'You really are a fool.' With a shaky resolve, Cameron walked away.
Nathalie raised an eyebrow. "Just gonna walk away like that?" It didn't seem like Cameron's usual style. Things changed in the Capital once again.
With Cameron's help, Benjamin's career took off. The pair of childhood friends were unstoppable. One provided the funds, and the other the elbow grease. Saying they were invincible wouldn't be far off the mark. Soon enough, Benjamin's success surpassed Nathan's.
On that day, Mason called his grandsons together and, with Gavin as a witness, handed over his shares to Benjamin. In front of a lawyer, Mason also made a will naming Benjamin as his heir.
Benjamin couldn't contain his joy. His rivalry with Nathan was finally over. He had cout on top.
This seemed like a fair competition, and Nathan should have taken his loss gracefully. But Benjamin wasn't content with just winning.

Do you still think you belong here? Nathan's face turned dark, his hands stuffed coolly into his pockets. His eyes were a mix of frost and disdain. "Benjamin, it's not over until it's over." Benjamin laughed loudly. "People say you're as cunning as they come, but honestly, I don't see it. Did you really think Grandpa loved you that much? Does he care for you?" Nathan paused, his expression serious as he looked at Benjamin. He had no real ties to this family and wouldn't have returned if it weren't for his feelings toward his grandfather. "What are you getting at?" Benjamin's smirk was infuriating; he had the nerve to pat Nathan's cheek mockingly. "You fool, Grandpa only brought you back because he got spooked by srumors. This fortune teller claimed you were a once-in-a- lifetbusiness genius destined to shine as the brightest star in the Capital. Grandpa feared that you'd turn against the Rowland family once you made it big, so he grudgingly kept you close. Now that you've lost it to me, it's clear that the fortune teller was full of it. Grandpa doesn't have to pretend anymore." Nathan drifted into thought. "So that's why." That was why his grandfather only took an interest in him once he was grown and ignored him during his difficult early years.
Benjamin was too busy enjoying his own words. "Here's the truth,
Nathan. Grandpa and Dad have always wantedas the Rowland heir. The fortune teller said you were ruthless and decisive, and Grandpa as scared that if I coulda
measure up, you'd take over and leavewith nothing So, he played along with this whole grandfather-grandson charade."
He leaned in to whisper in Nathan's ear with wicked glee, "Grandpa kept you close just to know you better and make sure he'd win every time."
