Chapter 146
She might have lost, but she did so with dignity. His win, however, was far from honorable. Sure, he held onto his
wealth, but his reputation took a nosedive.
Back at the Dawson family's mansion, Cameron dragged himself through the door and collapsed onto the sofa,
utterly drained. Seeing him like this, Kristina and Greta felt a pang of sympathy tugging at their hearts.
In her gentle way, Kristina tried to console him. "Cameron, no matter how it played out, you've finally shaken off
Nellie. You're free now."

Kristina was already picturing a bright future. "Cameron, once you and Nellie are officially done, I've got friends
who'll line up the best matches for you in the Capital. With what you've got to offer, finding a good girl will be a
breeze."
"And if you end up with a well-connected lady and have her parents' backing, it could skyrocket your career. Your
dad might even start treating you with the respect you deserve instead of favoring that other son of his."
Greta's face fell, her expression growing dark. She tugged quietly at Cameron's sleeve, her eyes pleading.
Cameron caught on and responded, "Mom, what are you saying? Greta's having my baby-I have to stand by her."
Kristina shot a frosty glance at Greta. "Cameron, | know you and Greta are in love, but Nellie's made a mess of
your reputations. If you go ahead and marry her, the gossip will be relentless. Everyone online is watching your
every move. Maybe it's best to let Greta go for now. I'm just thinking of what's best for you."
Cameron fell into silence while Greta felt like the perfect dream she had was shattering inside her. She'd hoped
that once Cameron was free, he'd marry her. But Kristina's disapproval was like a slap in the face.
Tears welled up, but Greta tried to keep her composure. "Cameron, maybe your mom is right. This might not be
the best tfor us. For your career's sake, maybe we should go our separate ways."
Her understanding only made Cameron cherish her more. "I'll sort out the negative press about us," he said
stubbornly. "I'll pay to have it all scrubbed. And maybe leak sother stories to shift the attention. People
forget quickly online; soon enough, this will all blow over."

Greta felt a warm glow inside from Cameron's determination to protect her. But Kristina's tone was still icy. "We'll
talk about any wedding plans later."
Kristina's firm resistance to her joining the family made Greta's hopeful heart turn cold.
