Ex-husband Unmasked He’s a Billionaire novel Chapter 170

Chapter 170 

After hearing Laura utter those words directly at him, Cameron’s heart sank to rock bottom. He didn’t say anything more. 

He admitted that she was a high and mighty woman and he was just a lowly bodyguard in her eyes. He thought that perhaps when a princess is distressed, she might develop a fondness for the knight who 

rescued her. 

But he believed such feelings tend to fade quickly with time. Once the princess came to her senses, she would realize a knight was just a knight. Her true destiny lay with a prince. 

With that, he left amidst the laughter and humiliation from the Jones family. The farewell letter Laura had written him was clenched tightly in his hand before it was crumpled into a ball. 

He wallowed in despair for days. Then, he decided to leave Yrando. That incident made him realize what men truly needed–power and status. 

He began to leverage his global contacts and accumulated resources over the years. He established his own company. With his talents, he crushed all his rivals along the way. Eventually, he reached the pinnacle of fame and fortune. 

Then, he found the woman who lent him a hand in his time of desperation. He had traced her identity through a pink butterfly hair clip. It was Madison who had the identical hair clip. 

It was something the woman had lost long ago. 

Cameron chose to step back from the limelight and handed everything over to Lord Blackheart to 

manage. 

However, it turned out to be a misunderstanding. The woman who had helped him wasn’t Madison. It was Dakota instead. The hair clips came in pairs, one for each woman. The one he found belonged to 

Dakota. 

It was Dakota who gave him her only piece of bread on that cold winter day. She told him to stay strong, promising that life would eventually be great. 

That single statement had motivated him for over a decade. Without her, a man ousted from his family like him due to illness twelve years ago might have ended up frozen on the streets. 

Now, Cameron was here to repay Dakota. He wanted to give her everything he could offer. He wouldn’t let Dakota suffer any harm, including from himself. That’s why he hesitated to reveal the truth about him and Laura to Dakota. He feared that his lies would hurt her. 

He never imagined their relationship would evolve like this before seeing Laura again. He thought he would always face Laura with a cold expression, avoiding her at all costs. But upon their actual interaction, his heart appeared to act independent of his intentions. 

In Cameron’s recent encounters with Laura, he realized that the events which unfolded seven years ago might not have been that simple. He wondered why Laura would ask those strange questions at
