Chapter 396 Cameron Has Ulterior Motives
Davidâs expression was unreadable. âYou really donât see it?â
Boris hesitated for a moment but ultimately gave an honest answer. âNo, I donât.â
Finished
He knew how deeply David loved Carolineâan allâconsuming, almost obsessive kind of love. To him, she was extraordinary, the most beautiful woman, the one person worth his devotion.
But the rest of the world didnât necessarily see her that way. Especially not someone like Cameron.
Cameron was no ordinary manâhe stood on equal ground with David in both power and influence. With his elite status, immense wealth, and distinguished lineage, the Scott familyâs legacy in Albaros ran deeper than the Ellisons, backed by generations of prestige, strategic dominance, and highâsociety authority.
David leaned back in his chair, his fingers tapping lightly against the armrest.
Something wasnât right about all this. But no one else seemed to notice.
âForget it.â He exhaled, rubbing his temple. âYou wouldnât get it.â
He admitted that his initial reaction had been impulsive. Seeing Caroline with Cameron had set him off. Thatâs why he had lost control. Thatâs why he had acted recklessly.
But now that he had thought it through, the pieces still didnât fit. Cameronâs visit wasnât just about work.
Sure, it sounded reasonableâhe wanted to meet Carozâs lead formulator. A simple business request.
But something about it felt off.
David was convinced Cameron had another motive. He just didnât know what it was yet.
Boris clicked his tongue. âLove makes men so irrational.â
David glanced at him. ââYou think Iâm overreacting? Making things up? That Iâm stirring up trouble for no reason?â
âHonestly? Yeah.â
âThen wait and see.â Davidâs tone was calm but firm. âTime will prove me right.â
He refused to believe Cameron had no hidden agenda when it came to Caroline. Cameron might be playing it safe now, keeping his intentions hidden.
But eventually, heâd slip up.
David was certain of it.
For now, though, he was the only one who saw through it.
To everyone else, he looked like he was making a big deal out of nothing.
Boris sighed and leaned back. âSo, Mr. Ellison, have you told Caroline about this little theory of yours?â
âNo.â

âWhy not?â
Finished
âShe wouldnât understand,â David said simply. âBesides, this is a matter between men. She doesnât need to be involved.â
Boris shook his head. âFine, then answer me thisâif Canon returns and specifically requests another meeting with Caroline, whatâs your plan? Block it?â
âIâll go with her.â
âOh?â Boris raised an eyebrow. âMarking your territory, are we?â
David didnât flinch. âAnd?â
âNothing, nothing. Itâs your company, your rules.â Boris stood, stretching lazily. âFine, Iâll take the blame this time. Next time, Caroline wonât meet any male clients alone. Satisfied?â
David waved a hand, dismissing him.
Boris made it to the door but hesitated.
Something about this whole situation still amused him. With one hand on the doorknob and the other braced against the frame, he turned back with a smirk.
âTell me, Davidâshould I start keeping my distance from Caroline too? What if I fall for her? Maybe you should keep an eye on me. You never know⦠I could be the one to steal her away.â
Before he could finish, a file folder flew straight at him.
