Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 509

Nathan shot back, "You're like a ghost, a wronged spirit—a woman wronged in death."

Greta's smile slowly vanished.

"Mr. Nathan, you're speaking in riddles," she remarked.

Nathan's lips parted slightly, a chill seeping into his words: "Greta, haven't you realized you've been quite chatty today? And it's all nonsense. Who's going to believe the ramblings of a so-called madwoman?"

"I'm not mad," Greta protested.

"Whether you're mad or not doesn't matter. It's enough that the doctor says you are," Nathan replied.

Greta suddenly grasped Nathan's meaning. Her eyes widened in fright, and the shock in them spread like ripples in water, reaching far and wide.

"Nathan, you can't do this to me... Just so you know, I know your Achilles' heel. If you upset me, I'll spill your secrets. Do you think Nathalie would still be eager to marry you then?"

Nathan's gaze turned dark. "Then let's see whose tactics win."

Just then, Cameron knocked on the door, and Nathan quickly unlocked it for him. Cameron walked in.

Nathalie, leaning against the doorway, followed Cameron inside.

"What were you two talking about?" Cameron asked, surprised by the scene.

"Nothing much, just seeing if she's really lost her marbles. Didn't her talk sound strange to you?" Nathan said casually.

Cameron kept a straight face. "I'll get a doctor to check on her. No need for you to worry."

Nathan then turned to Nathalie, speaking softly, "Nathalie, let's head out. We should turn in early tonight. We've got to visit the registration office tomorrow."

Cameron spun around, his face pale.

"Cameron, what gives you the right to meddle in things between Nathalie and me? Is it any of your business?" His voice was ice-cold.

Cameron was filled with shame.

Nathalie said to Cameron, "Let's go."

But just as Nathalie and Cameron turned to leave, a wild, maniacal laughter erupted from behind them.

Nathalie looked back, puzzled. "What's so funny?"

Greta said, "Since you're my sister, I'll share a secret with you. Once you hear it, you might not want to marry him after all."

Nathalie glanced at Nathan and noticed his face had turned noticeably tense.

Cameron, on the other hand, looked hopeful.
