Kristina let out a soft sigh. "Your father wants a divorce. This time, he's serious. Cameron, I can't shield you anymore."
Cameron was taken aback. "Why does Dad want to split up?"
Kristina felt a mix of irony and frustration bubbling up. "I've got a son who's thrown his life away. He’s becoming the family's black sheep, with nothing left to offer. Your dad, ever the practical one, won't put up with dead weight in the family. So, he's kicking us out. First me, and then it'll be your turn.
Cameron took a step back. "He can't be that ruthless, can he?"
Kristina let out a bitter laugh. "You think everyone's like you, guided by love and emotions."
Despair washed over Cameron's face.
Kristina couldn’t stay harsh, and softened her tone, "I tried to get you half of the shares, but he shut me down. He said no, just like you did with Nathalie."
Cameron was stunned. It was like karma coming full circle.
Kristina continued, "I'm telling you this so you're ready for what's next. If your dad's feelings for you fade, he'll stop at nothing. I bet soon there'll be a lot of bad press about you and a lot of praise for your brother. Your dad's clearing the way for a new heir, and he'll trample over you to do it."
Cameron looked numb. He'd been so busy and worn out lately that he had no energy left to fight.
Kristina watched him helplessly. "Cameron, I know you're head over heels for Greta, and you can’t imagine leaving her. I won't tell you to break up. But you need to know that your dad might freeze all your accounts soon, and then you won't have money for Greta's treatment. Without it, she won't hold up for long."
Cameron shivered, feeling the weight of reality.
