BookToReadChapter 402 The moment those words left the shareholder's mouth, even the usually unflappable Griffin felt like he had been caught with his pants down. "You" He was so furious he could almost feel his blood pressure skyrocket. But the shareholder wasn't about to let up. "Mr. Dawson, cat got your tongue?" Griffin was barely holding it together and slammed his teacup onto the table with a thud that echoed his frustration. "What are you implying? Are you trying to disgraceand shoveout of the company? Let's not forget that Dawson International is a Dawson family legacy. I still hold the lion's share, and that makesthe boss around here." "Well, isn't that convenient, Mr. Dawson?" the shareholder shot back. "When you slip up, you pull rank. But why should Cameron get the boot for his mistakes?" Griffin shot him a venomous glare. "Why are you always on my case? What's your angle?" The shareholder rose to his feet. "It's simple. Our success is tied to Dawson International.

"He won't cback," he muttered.

Did they expect him to grovel? "That's enough. We're done here. Dawson International can survive without Cameron." Then, Griffin made a decision that would haunt him. "Ihe's undercutting us, we'll cut our own margins. We'll break his hotd, even if it means no profit." The shareholders exchanged worried glances and sighed.
In the corner, one shareholder's lips curled in a satisfied smirk.

Everything's falling into placevel.ife won't be long before both the Dawson and Rowland empires are yours." A deep voice on the other end, full of wisdom and experience, replied, I'll speed up their downfall. Next, you need to push for a partnership between Dawson International and our firm." en "Got it." Winter's chill had settled in.
On the other side of the city, Cameron stood at the floor-to-ceiling window of his office, looking out over the city, feeling alone for the first tin ages.
His mother, who loved him dearly, and Nellie, who loved him purely were both gone victims of his own foolishness.
And the father he'd tried so hard to support, along with Greta, whom he m adored, had turned out to be nothing d. had turned NO but leeches, leaving him empty and hollow. He couldn't help but wonder what his purpose in life was. What was the point of his relentless hustle?
