WantNovelChapter 988
Cameron had tasted the sweetness Nellie once brought him-how could he be expected to give her up so easily
now?
"Morris, Nellie and | truly loved each other. There's a child between us. I'm not walking away from her without a
fight." As Cameron said this, the look he shot Morris was nothing short of a challenge.
Morris frowned, barely concealing his disgust. "Cameron, do you even hear yourself right now?"
Cameron chuckled, his weathered face creasing, years of hardship and wisdom written in every line. "Morris,
you're not the crown prince of the Capital anymore. You can't just throw your fortune around and hire sguru
to change your destiny. Admit it—you're only here because you've run out of cards to play. And you wantto
just hand Nellie over to you?"
“Well, I'm not giving you what you want." Frustration and indignation flickered across Cameron's face—a man
sick of having his fate decided by someone else.
Morris stared him down, eyes cold as a winter lake, a chill settling in the space between them.
"Cameron, you could have taken the easy way out. But since you want trouble, don't blme for what happens
next."
A cold sweat prickled down Cameron's back, but he quickly pulled himself together. "Please. We were both once
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprinces of the city, and now we've both fallen from grace. Why would | be scared of you?"
Morris's lips curled into a mocking, frosty smirk. "You think you're on my level? Dream on."
That laugh sent a shiver through Cameron, making him feel like a fish on the cutting board, Morris holding the
knife.
"Cameron, you're just a footnote in the story I'm writing." With that, Morris turned and walked off.
Cameron was left fuming.
When Morris got back to the Sharp family's house, he bumped into Arthur at the front gate, just as Arthur was
coming hfrom work. Spotting Morris's pale face, Arthur couldn't help but jab at him: "Morris, you're pathetic.
Dragging yourself out early and coming hlate-are you really working this hard just to beat me?"
Morris shot him a look of pure indifference. "Don't flatter yourself. | don't need to lift a finger to deal with you.
Ford is enough."
Ford was the tech whiz at Stewart Enterprise-everyone knew he was a genius with machines, but his social skills
were...questionable, to put it nicely.
Arthur bristled. "Are you callingan idiot?"
Morris shrugged. "Being compet

To Morris, Ford was the only dud among the robots he'd ever built.
Arthur's handsface darkened. "Let's see how long you can keep that attitude, Morris."
He stormed off, still fuming.
Morris might have cout on top in the exchange, but it didn't bring him any real satisfaction.
He went back to his room, only for a sharp,
chest. He doubled over, sweate
