Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 385

The crowd was left in stunned silence.

“What a nasty woman.”

“What kind of upbringing creates someone like that?”

Greta ran off, her heart pounding with a mix of shame, humiliation, helplessness, and despair.

Once she got home, she collapsed into Cameron’s arms, sobbing uncontrollably. “Cameron, Nathalie was so cruel. She went out of her way to humiliate me in front of everyone…”

Cameron felt a sting of pain seeing Greta in such distress. She was the woman he had cherished all his life—how could he stand by and watch her be bullied?

However, the surveillance footage showing Greta’s erratic behavior made him uneasy. This time, he wasn’t going to rush to her defense without question. He asked calmly, “Why did she give you such a hard time?”

Greta cried, “It’s all because you wanted me to return the dress. And guess what? Nathalie owns the boutique. She was completely unreasonable, saying once a dress leaves the store, it can't be returned or exchanged…”

Cameron frowned, “That’s really unfair. It violates consumer rights.”

“I argued with her, but she just insulted me, calling us con artists who were trying to scam her… People were staring, and I couldn’t handle it.”

Greta looked up, eyes brimming with tears. “Cameron, you have to stand up for me.”

Cameron paused. In the past, he’d always taken Greta’s side. This time, he decided to hear Nathalie out.

Cameron frowned. Nathalie’s stubbornness made him question if he was in the right place. Did Greta have a valid point after all?

“Nathalie, the dress is still in perfect condition. It hasn’t incurred any depreciation to affect resale. You should let her return it.”

Nathalie shot back, “You know returns shouldn’t impact resale value.”

She pulled out her phone, opened Greta’s social media, and handed it to Cameron. “Our dresses are mostly for one-time use and are collectibles. Look at your wife. She’s already flaunted it. Why should I take it back?”

Cameron’s face turned pale, then flushed with embarrassment. He noticed the timestamp on Greta’s photos—it was from that morning. So, she knew she planned to return it, but wore the dress and took pictures anyway?
