"Mr. Cameron, you finally decided to meet with us." Cameron, exuding confidence, settled into a chair across from them. He lit a cigarette with practiced ease, blowing a perfect smoke ring before raising an eyebrow at the assistant. "So, what's the urgent matter?" The assistant said with a respectful and somewhat anxious tone, "Mr. Cameron, you're part of the Dawson family. You're siding against us with Rowland Inc. Aren't you worried that the Rowland family might turn on you eventually?" Cameron glanced at Griffin, a mocking smile playing on his lips. "Didn't the Dawson family already turn on me? I've worked my fingers to the bone for this empire, and with just a word, it's been handed over to his illegitimate son, hasn't it?" The assistant was left speechless.
Griffin's arrogant facade finally showed scracks. With a weary sigh, he softened his approach. "Cameron, I'm not as young as I used to be. Dawson International will eventually be yours and your brother's. Let's not hold grudges. A father and son shouldn't have unresolved issues. If you're willing to cback, I'll transfer 15% of the company's shares to you." "Mr. Cameron, that's a much sweeter deal than what you'd get at Rowland Corporation. Don't let money cbetween family," the assistant chimed in with a forced smile.
Cameron stubbed out his cigarette, his face full of disdain. "He holds 60% of the shares but offersjust 15%? Sounds like he wantsto work for his illegitimate son, doesn't it?" The assistant awkwardly glanced at Griffin.
Trying to keep his cool, Griffin said, "We can always discuss the terms if you're open to coming back." Cameron got to his feet, his patience clearly wearing thin. "Either givefull control of Dawson International or wait forto take it over and change its name..." Griffin was seething.

Cameron, unfazed, replied, "Aren't we already a laughingstock? What more do we have to lose?" The assistant was taken aback. Cameron used to be all about appearances, but now he seemed to care less about that. With no .n apparent weakness to exploit, the assistant looked helplessly at Griffin.

Finally losing his temper, Griffin slammed the table. "Cameron, you're too greedy. Dawson International is our family's legacy and is meant to be shared. You can't just claim it all. You're dreaming."
Cameron, arms crossed, looked calmly at Griffin. "Without my mother's money and my support, have run Dawson International have youround. Now, you want my into the mother andto set the stage for your illegitimate son? Not a chance. As long as I'm around, Dawson International will never end up in his hands."
"You teamed up with your mistress and drove my mother to her death. Do you really think you deserve that tille? Cameron shot back, his handsface twisted in anger. "And what about me? Am I not your father?"
