Chapter 74: Goodnight Kiss
Cammy smirked at Greg, sensing his worry, though she knew he was concerned about something that would never happen. "Greg, the only thing Duncan wants from me is my father’s company—never me. I just wish I had realized that sooner.
I was so blinded by love that I couldn’t see his true intentions. He married me purely to gain control of my father’s company, and now he’s willing to do anything to keep it. He even made an agreement with Annie and her father."
Greg’s expression shifted to one of seriousness with obvious curiosity. "What kind of agreement?" he asked intently.
"He told me Annie and her father agreed to pay him if he saved Annie from the humiliation caused by your broken engagement," Cammy revealed.
"That is bullshit!" Greg snapped. "I called off the wedding because they were already having an affair."
"I know," Cammy replied. "But it’s likely Annie’s father didn’t know the truth. They probably made him believe Duncan was doing Annie a big favor by helping her save face, in exchange for money and his backing."
"You’re right," Greg agreed. "Knowing Annie, she’d have no problem manipulating her own father to get what she wants. But tell me—why is Duncan so determined to get control of your father’s company? It’s almost bankrupt, isn’t it?
I’m not trying to undermine its value, but I’m genuinely curious. Duncan is wealthy; he could easily start a new business. So why go after a struggling company?"
"You have a point," Cammy admitted. "At first, I thought he was doing it for me and my parents. But now, looking at him from a different perspective, I’m starting to wonder the same thing."
"Anyway, it’s late, and I just wanted to update you on what Grace said. You should get some rest—you’ve got work tomorrow," Greg said with a soft tone.
"That’s it?" Cammy raised an eyebrow. "You interrupted my relaxing bath and rushed me through a shower just to ask what I thought about Duncan’s plans?"
