Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 143

Cameron, usually so sure of himself, couldn't wrap his head around why the world-famous Mr. Wade would step in to help someone as unremarkable as Nellie.

He glanced over at his wife, who stood calmly beside Mr. Wade. The space between them suggested they weren’t exactly on chummy terms.

Greta came rushing over, out of breath. "Cameron, Nellie got Mr. Wade to defend her. Doesn't that mean we're pretty much toast?"

Cameron took in the scene around him, the press swarming the place, all eager for the trial to kick off. His nerves were getting the best of him. Losing this case could spell disaster for his reputation.

He murmured to Greta, "Our legal team isn't just for show. We can't let this throw us off."

As the court session got underway, the buzz of chatter faded to a hush. With the judge's steady guidance, both sides laid out their evidence and arguments in an orderly fashion.

Cameron’s defense team claimed, "Nellie, driven by jealousy, twisted the facts, damaging Cameron and Greta's reputation. She needs to make a public apology and pay them for their losses."

Mr. Wade used his razor-sharp memory, and clearly mapped out the details Nellie had gathered—dates, places, people—shooting down the flimsy accusations with ease.

Even Cameron, usually the picture of calm, lost his cool in front of the cameras. His face darkened as he snapped at his lawyers, "Is there any point in continuing this?"

His legal team exchanged uneasy looks. Finally, one said, "Mr. Dawson, we're on the back foot morally, but if Nellie's after your fortune, we're confident she'll walk away with nothing."

Cameron's earlier swagger was gone, replaced with a grim nod.

At the next court session, the opposing lawyer confidently declared, "My client and Miss Nellie signed a prenup, so if they divorce, she leaves with zilch."
