Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 300

Benjamin was fuming, his eyes blazing. "You're falsely accusing me of being a playboy!"

It looked like the brothers were on the brink of a full-blown fight.

Quick to intervene, Nathalie gently tugged Nathan aside and politely turned down Benjamin. "Mr. Benjamin, I'm really sorry, but dancing's not my thing."

Benjamin grudgingly let it go.

Nathan, ever the opportunist, chimed in, "Nathalie and I aren't dancers, but you and Ashley are pros. Since you're both on the hunt for a dance partner, why not hit the floor together?"

Benjamin couldn't dismiss a suggestion tied to Ashley, so he relented, "Ashley, would you do me the honor of a dance?"

Ashley just rolled her eyes, huffed, and strutted off, leaving Benjamin hanging.

Benjamin was left standing awkwardly while Nathan chuckled behind his hand.

Benjamin shot him a glare. "You're a real piece of work."

Nathan, still laughing, teased, "Maybe you just need more charm."

With a dramatic turn, Benjamin stormed off.

After steering Ashley and Benjamin away, Nathan turned to Nathalie with a grin. "Hey, how about a dance? It'll save us from all these interruptions."

Nathalie was caught off guard. "I thought you weren't much of a dancer?"

Screams echoed as the crowd scattered in panic. The once orderly dance floor turned into a frenzy, with people dodging Kristina like she was radioactive. Griffin and his new wife got knocked over, setting off a chain reaction of stumbling dancers.

Nathalie was swept off her feet and ended up right in front of Griffin. As she regained her balance and looked up, Kristina was glaring daggers at Griffin. The acid bottle was aimed ominously in her direction.

Nathalie's heart stopped, eyes wide with terror. She couldn't bear the thought of being scarred.

Kristina, clearly unhinged, waved the bottle around, and the acid sizzled as it splashed out. It came dangerously close to Nathalie a couple of times.

Nathalie was frightened and squeezed her eyes shut. In that moment, she felt herself being lifted and spun around. When she opened her eyes, Nathan was shielding her with his back, acting as her protector. He wrapped her in his arms, and his face twisted in pain.

Nathalie turned ghostly pale. "Nathan, don't!"
