Chapter 1320 Cameron felt a pang of uncertainty. Sensing his unease, Sophie immediately asked, âDad, what kind of sweet talk did she spin you into that youâre suddenly having second thought?â
Usually, Cameron would meet all her demands. Nothing was too much for his spoiled princess. So why was he pleading for Eleanor now?
âDad, please donât tell me youâve been bewitched by her beauty. That would make her the worst kind of woman!â
âDonât talk nonsense, thereâs only ever been one woman in my life, your mother.â
Eleanor couldnât help but scoff at his words. Living off her motherâs wealth, raising Sophie with it, now he declared his undying love for another woman right in front of her. It was ludicrous.
Cameron didnt see Eleanorâs derisive smile. All he could hear was the heart-wrenching sobbing from the other end of the phone, âDad, whatever reason you have for defending that tramp, you need to get rid of her today, or I swear Iâll make you regret it!â
This kind of threat always worked on Cameron, even when Sophie was a child. He turned back to Eleanor. He knew she was his own flesh and blood and felt a degree of guilt, but compared to his beloved Sophie, Eleanor meant nothing to him. So, he begrudgingly agreed, âFine.â
Sophieâs crying quieted, but she added one more condition, âMake sure Larson records it all. I need to see it over and over, to rid me of this anger!â
To please his darling Sophie, Cameron agreed to her request. After hanging up the phone, he tossed it to Larson, âTurn on the camera, record everything.â
Then, Cameron turned to Eleanor, âI canât disappoint my daughter for you. So, Iâm sorry, Elena...â
Hearing his words, Eleanor just laughed coldly. Cameron didnât give her a chance to respond, lunging forward. But before he could reach her, Eleanor grabbed his wrist, pulling him over the edge of the boat with her.
If she was going down, he was going down with her. At least she could get some revenge for her mother.
Cameron hadnât expected Eleanor to pull him into the sea. The moment they splashed into the water, he was momentarily stunned. He quickly recovered, looking at Eleanor with wide eyes. She was holding onto his wrist, not intending to let go. It was clear she wanted him to go down with her.
Cameron held his breath, struggling against Eleanorâs grip.
However, he was stronger. He pried her fingers off his wrist one by one, then pushed her deeper into the sea.

Eleanor reached out towards him, but Cameron just looked back at her. He paused for a moment, his eyes meeting hers. Then, without a backward glance, he swam to the surface.
Eleanor was supposed to have died as a baby. He was just sending her to join her mother and sister. He was doing them a favor by reuniting them.
There was nothing wrong with that.
As she watched his retreating figure, Eleanor remembered an old saying: A fatherâs silhouette is as towering as a mountain. It was true. Her fatherâs silhouette was indeed towering, but terribly cold and distant...
Her hand slowly dropped, and the surging waves began to pull her down deeper. Exhausted and out of strength, Eleanor could only watch as the water closed in around her.
What a lousy life sheâd led.
She never experienced the love of her parents, forced to fend for herself from a young age. Then she thought she would marry her first love, but a car accident and amnesia had torn them apart, even taking her life prematurely. And just when she thought sheâd found happiness with a man whoâd helped her, heâd been forced to put her through a death experience... Maybe the universe was finally showing her some mercy, lending her sisterâs life to let her live a little longer, letting her know that Bernard truly loved her.
But now that sheâd experienced that, it was time to take back the borrowed life. So, the universe had sent her own father to finish her off.
But what about the child in her womb? The child hadnât even had the chance to see the world yet, and now it was being taken away with her, And what else... what else was there?
Eleanor slowly closed her eyes, succumbing to the darkness...
