Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 295

Cameron slipped away from the bustling banquet hall. He initially planned to find Greta and soothe her aching heart, but as he wandered through the maze-like corridors of the Dawson estate, he caught sight of Griffin, deep in conversation with his assistant in a gazebo, and decided to eavesdrop.

He quietly moved closer, concealing himself behind a thick hedge. From his hiding spot, he overheard Griffin say, "Everyone at this banquet is crucial to Dawson International's success. Make sure Jay keep them happy. I'm setting the stage for his future leadership at Dawson International."

The assistant replied, "Sir, we handed out thirty invites, but the gatekeeper counted thirty-one entries. Looks like one invitation was used twice."

Griffin frowned, "Can you find out where Cameron is?"

"Not yet," the assistant said.

"Check it out. If he isn’t the extra person, don't worry about it."

"Understood."

Cameron felt a pang in his heart. Griffin casually called Justin by his nickname, Jay, but always called Cameron by his full name—a glaring sign of their strained relationship.

Griffin's words were laced with skepticism, forcing Cameron to confront a harsh truth. He'd been cast aside by Griffin. Just a few days ago, Griffin assured him that Justin was only temporarily stepping in for him at Dawson International, which was clearly a blatant lie.

His father’s betrayal stirred a mix of sadness and anger within Cameron, nearly causing him to stumble and reveal his hiding spot.

Once the assistant left, Cameron stumbled out from behind the bushes.
