Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 137

It was a shame she was born into hell without a ticket to heaven. Nellie rapped on the door, and the nanny eventually showed up, clearly annoyed. “Who’s knocking at this hour?” she grumbled.

When she opened the door and saw Nellie, her eyes widened in surprise. “Oh, Ms. Nellie, what brings you here?”

Nellie brushed past her without a second thought. “This is my home, isn’t it? Why can’t I be here?”

The nanny was left speechless. Quickly, she scurried off to get backup, and soon enough, Greta made her way downstairs, taking her sweet time.

“Nel, what brings you back all of a sudden?” Greta asked, looking quite pleased with herself. Her cheeks were rosy, showing no signs of being bothered by the online scandal that had erupted.

Nellie’s eyes lingered on Greta’s belly. Flat as it was, she knew it carried a child.

Her husband’s child.

“I’m divorcing Cameron, and then I’ll have nowhere to go. Greta, you wouldn’t mind if I crashed here for a while, would you?”

“Absolutely not.” Greta blurted out without a second thought.

Nellie, not pleased, shot back, “I’m part of the Brown family, too. Why can’t I stay here like you?”

Greta's voice rising in panic, “You know Dad’s not fond of you. If you insist on staying here, he might just get sick from the stress.”

Nellie frowned, playing up the drama, “So what am I supposed to do? If I have nowhere to go, maybe I shouldn’t get divorced.”

Greta’s face went pale, and she grabbed Nellie’s hand, desperate. “You’ve been waiting for this divorce from Cameron for so long. He finally agreed! If you pass up this chance, it might not come again.”

Nellie watched her, amused. “Greta, are you that eager to take my place?”

Greta guiltily said, “Nel, I’m only thinking of you. You went to such lengths to force this divorce, even dragging Cameron’s name through the mud. Now, the Dawson family probably hates you. If you don’t go through with it, do you really think they’ll welcome you?”

She added, with fake innocence, “What’s it to me if you get divorced or not?”

Nellie smiled. “Don’t worry. I’m definitely divorcing Cameron.”

Nellie didn’t bother answering. She had all the evidence of Cameron’s sneaky dealings.

Greta, now timid, asked, “Nel, why did you really come here today?”

Nellie stared at her with disdain. “Just wanted to see how much sisterly love we have left.”

Greta’s eyes filled with shame. Nellie had donated a kidney to her, but when Nellie needed a place to stay during her divorce, Greta turned her back. It was clear Greta had lost her place in Nellie’s heart.

“Nel, if you want to come back and live here, it’s not out of the question...” Greta tried to patch things up, “but you’ll need to change your attitude and get along with us.”

Nellie looked at her like she was the punchline to a bad joke. “Greta, do you really think I wanted to come back and live here?”

Greta blinked, confused.

Nellie dropped the bomb. “Given your ‘stellar performance’ tonight, I’ve decided to stick it out with Cameron a bit longer.”
