Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 124

Greta was completely flummoxed by the message from Nellie. But the moment she hit play on the recording and heard Cameron and Nellie's conversation, her face went as pale as a ghost.

Cameron was seriously considering cutting her off just to patch things up with Nellie.

She felt like a fragile vine, unable to survive without Cameron. Her health was in tatters, and medical bills were piling up. Cameron's support was her lifeline. Her dad's tiny, struggling business also relied heavily on Cameron's generosity to stay afloat.

Hands trembling, Greta picked up her phone, swallowing her pride for the first time, and begged Nellie, "Nel, what did you do to Cameron?"

"Oh, nothing much. I just sent him some photos of your affair and evidence of him shuffling assets around during our marriage. He is scared stiff his dirty little secrets will get out, so he's begging me not to divorce him," Nellie replied, cool as a cucumber.

Greta's face turned ashen with fear, but she also loathed Nellie for her cold-heartedness. "Nel, this will destroy him."

Nellie didn't give her another thought.

Why would she? Ruining Cameron and Greta was her plan all along. This pair of lowlifes had caused her daughter so much pain, and her sole purpose now was revenge.

How could she have any sympathy for them?

Perhaps the emotional turmoil was too much for Greta; her fragile health took another hit. By the next day, she was back in the hospital.

Knowing just how to tug at heartstrings, she posted a pitiful hospital selfie on social media, captioning it: [Looks like I'm destined to be alone, just clinging on.]

Seeing the woman he loved looking so worn out, Cameron couldn't resist and called Greta to comfort her.

On the call, Greta poured out all her complaints about Nellie's actions, ending with a trembling sob. "Cameron, don't worry about me. You should be happy with her. I don't want to hold you back. You've come so far."

[No wonder she's sick. Is this karma for breaking up a family?]

Some folks even cooked up wild stories about Cameron and Greta's so-called romance:

[Maybe his first love had cancer back in the day and left quietly, not to burden him. Now, he's successful and married anew, but his first love has returned, playing the victim and saying it wasn't her choice to leave. He was torn between past and present and chose the past.]

[In reality, it wasn't cancer, and she hadn't died. The guy got duped. Only later did he realize his first love was toxic and his wife was the better choice. But now, his wife was done with him because late apologies are worth nothing. So, did the wife finally have enough and decide to take down this toxic duo?]

[Wow, you're a badass. We're all rooting for you. Ditch the loser and go shine on your own.]

In the midst of all this, Nellie was having a ball: [Thanks, everyone, for the support. I've got to get to work today, but stay tuned for more of my tragic marriage saga tomorrow.]
