A Second Chance at Forever (Eleanor and Bernard) novel Chapter 1319

Eleanor, repulsed, shoved Cameron's hand away, "Thanks to you, she's dead now."

Vanya had starved on the streets of G country, and Emilia was left alone. All this was Cameron's doing. His ruthlessness tore the mother and daughters apart, leading them down tragic paths.

Yet, Cameron had groomed Sophie into a well-educated, rich, and beautiful woman, paving the way for her future. He ensured that she never went hungry or cold. He would never allow her to beg like Emilia, or barely cling to life like Eleanor.

"She’s...dead?" As Cameron recovered from his shock, he tried to reach for Eleanor's hand again, "If she survived on the sea, how did she die? What happened?"

Eleanor, once again repulsed, shoved his hand away, "Stop pretending to care about them. Just answer my question. Why did you help Katrina back then?"

She knew how Vanya was killed by Cameron, but she didn't know why Cameron helped Vanya. Was he aware of Katrina's identity as Vanya from the start? Did he know she had a large inheritance, and was that why he targeted her?

If so, Vanya was caught in a web of conspiracy and treachery, a life that was so unjustly snuffed.

Cameron, unusually, didn't lose his temper at Eleanor's treatment. Instead, he calmly studied Eleanor's beautiful face, "I saw your mother, her face completely unrecognizable, wandering the streets of G country. I pitied her and took her in, fed her, gave her shelter, and encouraged her to live on."

"When my company was on the brink of bankruptcy, I bumped into her at the airport. She had undergone plastic surgery and I didn't recognize her. She told me who she was, the woman I'd once helped. She thanked me by investing in my company. The Ratliff Group managed to survive because of her. I was grateful and married her. We had a child together. I intended to live a good life with her."

Eleanor believed the first two parts, but not the last.

Vanya had said in the video that Cameron only married her for her money. The woman he truly loved was his childhood sweetheart, Silver. While he was building a family with Vanya, he had another family with Silver.

After using Vanya's assets and abilities to help the Ratliff Group become a tycoon in A City, Cameron ruthlessly discarded Vanya, who had silently supported him. He even bought a cruise ship, tricking her into taking a vacation with their children.

Once on board, he pushed the three of them overboard. Once they had outlived their usefulness, they were no longer valuable to him. Without needing Vanya's existence anymore, Cameron revealed his true colors and got rid of the burdens.
