Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 169

Nathalie suddenly took off her glasses. Her eyes, lightly accentuated with makeup, usually sparkled with brightness, but now they flashed with a fiery anger.

“Go on, hit me,” she challenged, stepping forward, practically daring Cameron to throw a punch.

Cameron, caught off guard by her steely glare, hesitated and slowly dropped his hand.

“What a pair of idiots,” Nathalie muttered, her teeth clenched in frustration.

Seeing Cameron’s hesitation, Greta chimed in, “Nel, we’re family. Families don't hold grudges forever. Going against us isn’t smart. Cameron's success benefits you, too. If he goes down, so does your support.”

She reached out to grab Nellie's hand, but Nellie swiftly pulled away. “Don't touch me. We're not that close,” Nellie replied, her voice cold and distant.

Greta froze, tears welling up as she pleaded, “Are you still angry with me? Nel, I’m your sister, your own flesh and blood. I know Cameron and I didn’t treat you right, but you’ve gotten your revenge. We were shamed online, and I lost my child. Nel, we’re even now. I owe you nothing.”

Nellie looked at her with disinterest. “It’s a shame you’re not on stage. You'd make a great actress,” she remarked coolly.

Greta’s face flushed with embarrassment. “Nel, am I wrong…”

Nellie’s gaze on her was as if she was examining a rare artifact. “Your child's death is karma for your actions. The online scandal happened because of your own behavior. Your misfortunes are your doing and have nothing to do with me. But my suffering, that’s on you…”

Greta trembled, her face turning ashen. “How did you become so relentless?”

It was clear he was about to hit her.

That was when Nathan stepped in, positioning Nathalie safely behind him. “You wouldn’t hit a woman, would you?”

Cameron snapped, “She deserves it.”

Nathan replied calmly, “When you first brought her home, she was innocent and defenseless. Now she’s like a hedgehog, all spines. Shouldn’t you reflect on how you pushed her to this point?”

Cameron’s tall frame wavered, and Nathan’s words forced him to reflect on his past with Nellie.
