Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 144

Wade's usually icy exterior cracked with a victorious grin. "Your Honor, as you can see, Cameron has always been on guard about keeping his assets away from Nellie, both before and after their marriage. This adds weight to the suspicion of marriage fraud."

The judge gave a slight nod.

Cameron looked visibly rattled. His lawyer jumped in to backtrack. "In wealthy families, it's typical to have a prenup. Does that mean couples are all up to something shady?"

Wade shot back, "But do the people in those circles go as far as taking their wife's organs?"

The opposing lawyer was stumped.

Switching gears, Wade pressed on, "Your Honor, my client demands the return of all the gifts Cameron gave Greta during their marriage."

He rattled off the list. "A villa at Bayview Heights, a townhouse in Left Bank City, a diamond necklace worth millions, and limited edition designer bags..."

Greta's face turned ghostly white, and she bit her lip.

Cameron's face was like ash. Wade's move, while not directly benefiting Nellie, was a serious power play against them.

The room buzzed with whispers. "He claims he didn't cheat? Yeah, right."

"These two are just the worst. Poor Nellie must have the worst luck meeting them."

"He looks all polished, but he's no better than a monster."

Cameron was seething, his face flushed with anger at the torrent of insults. He had never been so publicly shamed.

The idea that the hospital would risk its reputation to leak patient information in Nellie's favor made Cameron nervous for the first time. It even crossed his mind that Nellie wasn't just a girl from the slums but someone with serious connections.

The opposing legal team was sharp. "Mr. Wade, you can't prove the child Greta's carrying is Cameron's. Your accusation doesn't hold."

Wade exchanged a knowing glance with Nellie. They both knew Greta and Cameron wouldn't be foolish enough to hand over proof of paternity.

From the start, Nellie's aim wasn't to nail Cameron for bigamy. She was merely sowing seeds of doubt in the public's mind. In ten months, when Greta's child is born, will she still claim Cameron as the father?

If she does, that locks in the bigamy charge.

After several rounds of heated debate, the judge finally announced, "This marriage has irretrievably broken down, and the divorce is granted. Since the husband has a prenup, he doesn’t owe Nellie any financial compensation."
