Chapter 228
Cameron said, “I bought her Timeless Cycle.”
Greta’s eyes went wide. “Timeless Cycle?”
Cameron nodded. “Yep.”
Greta’s anxiety was barely hidden. “Cameron, we’re barely making ends meet. Where did you find the money for Timeless Cycle?”
Cameron frowned, clearly annoyed by her question.
Nathalie chuckled. “Greta, you’re just a regular gal, but your man, he’s from a whole different world. When you say ‘broke, you mean it. For him, ‘broke‘ might just mean his bank account’s a little low. If he shuffles some assets around and tightens his belt, he could probably scrape up a few million.”
Greta shivered. “Cameron, are you really going to sell our house and dig us into debt for a necklace?”
Cameron’s voice turned icy. “My business is none of your concern.”
Greta slumped to the floor.
Cameron was clearly uncomfortable. He helped Greta to her feet, sighing, “Don’t be such a worrywart. We will make more money.” Greta was from a humble background, and couldn’t muster such boldness. She was just nervous, anxious, and uneasy.
“Cameron, you’re in a tough spot right now. Getting

Greta didn’t dare to say more.
Nathalie watched the scene unfold with a bit of delight. The couple, who once faced everything together, were now being sharpened by life’s ups and downs, using their sharp edges against each other.

Sensing the tension between the two women, Cameron quickly sent Nathalie on her way. “Don’t worry, I’ll get the cash together for you ASAP.”
Nathalie left, satisfied.
Cameron quickly put his mansion up for sale, a lu
r sale, a luxury property originally worth seven million, now marked down by a million. When Griffin got wind of it, he was livid. “This reckless fool, he’s really gone off the rails!” he shouted, sweeping the teacups off his desk.
His assistant tried to soothe him, “Mr. Dawson, please calm down. It’s a shame Mr. Cameron’s gotten tangled up in love, but at least you still have Mr. Justin. You know, Mr. Justin just signed a huge deal with the McCoy family today.”
“The McCoy family?” Griffin’s mood shifted to delight. “Good, good, at least my younger son is making waves.”
Determined to safeguard Cameron’s assets, Griffin instructed his assistant, “Cameron has a decent portfolio of properties. We can’t let him squander it all. Find a way to stop the sale of his mansion.”
The assistant nodded, “Got it.”
With Griffin’s behind–the–scenes meddling, Cameron’s house–selling plans hit a snag.
Then Nathan arrived.
“Mr. Dawson, I hear you’re looking to sell the house?” Nathan asked directly.
When Cameron saw him, he was reminded of the symbol on Timeless Cycle and couldn’t see him as the naive kid he once was Cameron’s expression darkened. “What brings you here?”
