Reborn From Oblivion

Cameron said, "Benjamin and I have been friends since we were kids. Gavin has always treated me like family and wouldn't turn his back on me when I'm in trouble. I'll go to him and ask for a shot at partnering up. If I can promise him a big win, he'll definitely be on

board."NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

Greta replied, "But isn't he also Nathan's dad?"

Having gone through this ordeal, Cameron seemed to gain some clarity. "Hmph, blood ties don't hold a candle to profit, especially to a cheater."

Greta's face clouded over. The cheater, Nathan's dad, was also Benjamin's dad. But wasn't Cameron following down the same path? Sensing Cameron's shift towards being profit-driven made Greta uneasy.

Cameron showed up at the Rowland family mansion to visit Benjamin and Gavin but unexpectedly bumped into Nathan.

Both stopped in their tracks, quietly sizing each other up. There was a mix of scrutiny, doubt, and a bit of unspoken anger in the air.

"Cameron, if you're banking on my dad or my worthless brother to help you out, you're in for a letdown," Nathan said.

Cameron stepped closer, glaring at Nathan. "Nathan, the Rowland family isn't your personal fiefdom. You can't call the shots for them."

Despite the blatant disdain, Nathan remained remarkably calm. "Cameron, not everything is what it seems on the surface."

Cameron's eyes narrowed. He fancied himself a good judge of character with a sharp eye. Yet, here he was, feeling unexpectedly rattled by Nathan's mysterious vibe.

How could someone have such a clean-cut face and yet be so unreadable? Nathan clearly had more layers underneath his youthful appearance.

"Can't know until you try, right?" Cameron shrugged.

Nathan stepped aside. "True. You don't stop hitting some walls until you've got nothing left."

Cameron brushed past Nathan and moved on. Nathan's words, though, lingered like ripples in a pond, unsettling him.

Was he really banging his head against a wall? His mind was in turmoil.

He reached Gavin's room and saw that Gavin and Benjamin had been waiting for him. Gavin greeted him warmly. "Cameron, we heard you were coming, so I pushed back a few meetings just for you."

"Thanks, Gavin, for the hospitality."

The small talk was as polite as ever, but Gavin's attitude towards the fallen prince, Cameron, was subtly different He stayed put in his swivel chair, unlike before when he'd stand up to greet him, and after a brief exchange of pleasantries, Gavin got right to business.

"Cameron, you mentioned having something important to discuss, so let's not beat around the bush."

In the past, Cameron would usually steer the conversation. Now, with Gavin's evident lack of respect, Cameron felt uneasy.

With nothing left to his name, he now had learned to humble himself. "Gavin, I'd like to apply for the Vice President position at Rowland Corporation."

Gavin was taken aback. Even among the friendliest families, hiring someone from another family was often seen as risky-like planting a hidden time bomb in the family business.

Cameron dangled an enticing offer.

"Gavin, I can help you snatch major

clients from Dawson International.

Plus, with me backing Ben, his achievements will shine, forcing Mason to recognize Ben's talents, which would make him a more likely choice over Nathan as the

successor."
