Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 610

The man fixed his gaze on Nathalie...

After listening to her parents' love story, Nathalie felt a shiver run through her entire body.

She was filled with a bittersweet joy, realizing her parents weren't the ruthless father and son from the Stewart family, but rather two people who genuinely loved each other.

Yet, this joy seemed to pale in comparison to the deep sorrow she felt. The thought of her father in a vegetative state and her mother, whose grievances remained unaddressed, made her heart feel like it was being torn to pieces.

"How could this happen?" she whispered, tears streaming down her face.

Nathalie couldn't shake the feeling that her parents, who had defied societal norms to be together, met a tragic fate due to a mysterious car accident. It all felt too abrupt and unfair.

The man suddenly spoke up, "Why does what I've heard differ from Officer Luke's version?"

Luke visibly flinched at the question.

Nathalie turned to the man, her voice filled with anticipation. "Do you know about the campus self-immolation incident too?"

The man nodded, "I work in new media operations. That incident was a national sensation; it almost broke the internet. Naturally, I looked into it."

"What do you know? Please, can you tell me?" Nathalie pleaded.

The man looked into Nathalie's beautiful, sorrow-filled eyes and, feeling an inexplicable pull, nodded. "When Maya set herself on fire, there were several witnesses. They said she mumbled that someone else was responsible for harming Lincoln. She accused that person of sacrificing family for money and power. She said her death was to seek justice for Lincoln."

Nathalie's face went pale.

Next to her, Luke seemed rattled and accidentally knocked a teacup to the floor, which shattered with a sharp sound.

The man teased, "Luke, why so jumpy?"

"I... I'm not jumpy," Luke stammered.

The man pressed further, "Did I hit the nail on the head?"

Luke looked panicked.

"Officer Luke, ever since you handled the campus self-immolation case, you've been climbing the ranks swiftly. Who's the benefactor behind your rise?"
