Chapter 64 A Surprise for You
"What did you say? Say that again." Cameron's voice was almost trembling and his eyes were wide with rage.
"Cameron, I made a deal with you on the spot because I trusted you. But only two of the projects you sold me worked, and the rest were patented by the Moore Group. Those two projects that work are available at my own company. What do I need yours for?"
"Cameron, we have been working with each other for many years. How dare you screw with me on this?"
"Give me back all the money at once, or I'll give you a problem."
With that, the person on the other end of the phone quickly hung up the phone.
The cell phone in Cameron's hand suddenly dropped to the floor as he stared vacantly at the illuminated luxury villa. There was nothing but a vacant look in his eyes.
How could this happen?
Cameron had just been happy that he had made a lot of money, but now he suffered a heavy blow.
He felt like he was on a roller coaster.
"Dad, what's the matter?" Aubrey came out. Looking at the way Michael looked at her as he left, she felt he tugged at her heartstrings and that he was treating her a little differently.
Cameron suddenly got down on one knee, his face ashen!
Why did a done deal suddenly flip?
Murderous intents crossed Cameron's eyes. He picked up the cell phone and dialed a number.
"Go kill Caleb for me," he roared angrily.
The person on the other end of the phone said, "Mr. Logan, Caleb just left on a mission and won't be back for three months."
"Damn it, we were fooled by him." Cameron's voice was trembling. There was no way he was going to give back the money that had already come in.
"Impossible! Mr. Logan, Caleb doesn't know anything about business, and can't read the technical terms on those projects. I guess you got played by Sebastian. He's been working on this file in the study today."
The guy on the other end of the phone said emphatically. Michael was right. It was the same project, but the contents were different.
Cameron finally fell for the trap set up by Sebastian, the sly dog.
"Dad." Aubrey walked over and helped Cameron up to his feet.
Cameron hung up the phone and walked home in a state of dismay.
He thought of Michael, who had just left. If it had been a second later, he could have gotten Michael to give him the money back.
But they had already closed the deal and settled the payments. Michael was notoriously tricky, so there was no way he would return that money to Cameron.
Cameron had to cover the payments himself. 60 million dollars wouldn't be much of a challenge for him. However, in recent years, with the rapid rise of the Moore Group, Cameron's business had
gone from bad to worse. All the lucrative business went to the Moore Group, and Cameron only made a pittance.
Cameron was outmatched. Sebastian had uniquely brilliant people working for him, and brought out the best in everyone.
Cameron's company was languishing.
If not, Cameron wouldn't dare take such a risk.

Eleanor was still up early the next day, and instead of going downstairs to make breakfast, she looked at Waylon's handsome face and asked, "How's your sight today, Waylon? Can you see?"
She speculated that Waylon should regain his eyesight today.
Waylon nodded slightly and lied a little. "My eyes do dimly see something."
Eleanor bit her lip in excitement at Waylon's words and looked at him. "Really, Waylon?"
"Hmm!" Waylon lowered his eyes with mixed emotions. He had regained sight long ago.
Waylon would love to have his mom's attention all to him. Now, he had her to himself. Elijah kept Eleanor around for over five years, and now Waylon just wanted to have her for a while.
Eleanor's eyebrows danced, and her smile was so brilliant and made Waylon curl up the corners of his mouth a little.
Eleanor was so beautiful when she smiled!
"Baby, you'll have your full sight back in a few days. You can't eat anything from anyone but me during this time. I'll make you lots of yummy snacks." Eleanor excitedly took Waylon's little hand.
She thought, "Waylon, if you could see it, you'd find Mommy!"
"Hmm!" Waylon lowered his eyes, his eyes twinkling with laughter as he felt so blessed to have his mom around.
"Honey, back to sleep. I'm going to go make breakfast." Eleanor walked away in a happy mood.
Waylon watched Eleanor leave. Then he slowly got out of bed, got his phone, and messaged Elijah.
[Elijah, are you there?]
He hadn't heard back from Elijah after a few moments.
Waylon glanced at the time, and it was 7:30 a.m. Elijah should not be up yet.
Waylon was right. Elijah was still asleep.
Eleanor lived in a duplex with a lot of children, and each of them had his own room. Elijah had to take formula at night and Eleanor always slept with him. In order to let him learn to stand on his own two feet, Eleanor let him sleep alone during the time she stayed at the Moores' manor.
After two nights, Elijah got used to sleeping alone, but he felt lonely without his mommy by his side.
Elijah's biological clock made him wake up every morning exactly at 8:00. He looked at the room where he was alone and felt upset.
"Alas," Elijah sighed, "I'm alone again." There was a pathetic look on his handsome little face.
Elijah got up every morning and the first thing he did was make himself a cup of growing-up milk.
But he remembered Mommy told him when he got up in the morning, he needed to go to wash his face, brush his teeth, and pee first.
Elijah finished everything Eleanor had told him to do before he washed his hands and went to make powdered milk. A thermostatic kettle was very convenient, and all he needed to do was put a few spoonfuls of milk powder into the thermostatic kettle. He took a sip of the formula milk and smiled contentedly.
Elijah went to get his phone to check the time before he saw the message Waylon had sent him.
Elijah replied, [Waylon, I just got up. I'll see if I get a chance to sneak in and play with you today.]
Waylon, [Don't come. Mommy's not going out today.]
Elijah, [Okay!]
Elijah was in a downbeat mood because he wouldn't be seeing his mom today.
Elijah rubbed his belly. How hard kids' lives were. There were three adults living in the house and none of them could cook.
Noah should be busy cooking in the kitchen by now.
Elijah might as well wait for supper. He didn't like the smell of cooking.
He thought if he could cook, countless people would drool over the food he made. Upstodatee from Novel(D)ra/m/a.O(r)g
Waylon, [Elijah, do you know what Mommy is doing at the Moores' manor?]
Elijah thought about it and sent a message over, [First, we came back to look for you. Second, Mommy was back to take revenge. Back then, the Ryker family wanted to burn Mommy and us, and robbed Mommy of the formula for Fragrant Pill. Mommy fought so hard to stay alive, and you were
the first one to be born when she gave birth to us in the hospital. But then you disappeared, and I almost died. Mommy was disfigured by Caroline. Mommy had a pretty bad experience anyway. I overheard all of that. You mustn't ask Mommy. She'll be upset.]
Waylon looked at Elijah's message with a frozen look in his eyes.
It was pretty much what Waylon had guessed.
[Don't worry, I won't ask. Tou stay safe out there and I'll be out to see you in a few days.]
Elijah, [Great, Waylon, I'll give you a surprise then.]
Elijah thought to himself, "I'll let you meet your other two brothers. Isn't that a surprise enough?"
Waylon, [Alright, Elijah.]
He then heard somebody speaking.
