Reborn From Oblivion
Chapter 34

"Nathan's status is leagues above any of those illegitimate kids out there. His room's going to be right next to mine. His monthly allowance? We're talking millions. I'll personally make sure he learns the ropes," Mason instructed. "Yes, sir," the butler responded.

At the Dawson family estate, Kristina sat in the garden gazebo, sipping her herbal tea. Her face lit up with the kind of joy only a wealthy lady could know.

"Ma'am, Sid's back."

"Send him in." Kristina was thrilled. Sid was always on point, and she was sure he wouldn't let her down this time either.

"Ma'am." To her surprise, Sid hesitated the moment he saw Kristina, looking guilty and self-reproachful. "Ma'am, I couldn't bring back the man you wanted. Please punish me."

"What happened?" Kristina was shocked; she thought this task was a walk in the park.

"Ma'am, that man's status is way more complicated than we thought. We got him to the Capital, but someone picked him up at the airport entrance."

Sid whispered a few more words in Kristina's ear, and she suddenly looked panicked. "What? If he can control airport staff, he must be incredibly powerful." She might have bitten off more than she could chew, and Kristina just wanted to smooth things over quietly. "We can't let Griffin replace out about this. Otherwise, he'll see me as a liability instead of an asset in the inheritance race. I can't be a burden to Cameron's claim."

"Don't worry, ma'am. My lips are sealed."

"Go and replace out who this man really is. If he's got ties to that girl Nellie, that could be a real headache." Kristina fretted.

"On it."

The annual end-of-year bash hosted by the Wealth Alliance was finally here. The heirs of the conglomerates were going all out to create the perfect image.

But Cameron got his spotlight snatched by Griffin. "Cameron, since your wife's not back, you can skip the finale of the celebration. We don't need anyone digging into why Nellie's missing. Then you'd be left with no way to explain your wife's disappearance." Kristina was fuming, her face turning a shade darker than purple. "Honey, if you're sidelining Cameron, which illegitimate son are you planning to have replace him?"

Griffin gave her a dismissive look. "Your son dropped the ball. Now, my other son is cleaning up Cameron's mess, and you still try to criticize him?"

Kristina was seething but had no comeback.

At the celebration, Cameron's half-brother Carter made a flashy entrance. After he took over hosting duties from Cameron, the heads of several wealthy families caught on to the shift, buttering up Griffin right in front of Cameron. "Mr. Dawson, you're truly lucky. We've all seen Cameron's talents. But who knew you had another son waiting in the wings? When do you plan to have him take over Dawson International?"

Griffin beamed with pride. "This introduction is just the beginning. I'm paving the way for him to become the CEO of the Al division at Dawson International. I hope you all continue to support him."

"Absolutely," a few of the elders chimed in.
