Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 118

Nathan pulled a document from a file and shook it open with a flick, revealing the agreement inside. It was a debt contract between Nellie and him.

“From now on, Nellie has to work for me around the clock to pay off a ten billion debt. Her face represents my company. If you harm her, it affects my flourishing business. Mr. Dawson, do you still think I shouldn’t get involved in Greta’s situation?” Nathan said softly.

Cameron couldn’t help but find the situation absurd. “This is ridiculous. Mr. Nathan, aren’t you aware of labor laws? Even if Nellie signed a lifelong contract, legally, she can only work eight hours a day…”

Before Cameron could finish, Nathan flipped to an addendum. It stated that Nellie voluntarily agreed to overtime, with double the pay as per labor laws. Her signature and thumbprint were there as well.

Nathan carefully tucked the contract away, then flashed a smile at Cameron. “Mr. Dawson, if you want to buy out Mrs. Dawson’s contract, you’ll need to pay me ten times the penalty fee.”

Cameron’s face turned pale, glaring at Nellie with frustration. “I warned you, doing business with him is a losing game.”

Nellie was taken aback by Nathan’s meticulous planning. He was truly the future Rowland heir apparent.

Instead of panicking, she faced Cameron with a mocking look. “Cameron, either pay up to free me, or let’s get divorced. You don’t have to worry about my debt then.”

Cameron’s expression darkened. Nellie noticed a flicker of hesitation in his eyes, sensing his internal conflict. She instinctively knew he was contemplating leaving her behind.

Nathan spoke gently, “Nellie, today’s your first official day at work. Come with me.”

Nellie followed Nathan, leaving the Dawson household behind.

“Nathan played his cards well,” Cameron had to admit with reluctant admiration.

Greta, ever flattering, added, “Cameron, someone like Nathan is no match for you. It’s just that Nellie is holding you back…”

Mentioning Nellie made Cameron’s face cloud over again. “Nellie, you’ve left me no choice.”

Joy flickered in Greta’s eyes.

Meanwhile, Nellie sat in Nathan’s luxury car, her expression somber, eyes looking forlornly out the window. Nathan gently touched her swollen face, his voice warm and empathetic, “Nellie, I’m sorry I was late. You’ve been through a lot.”
