Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 726

Benjamin was on high alert, his face tense as he sat in silence for what felt like ages. Nathalie wasn't rushing him. She waited patiently, her demeanor calm.

Finally, Benjamin couldn't hold back any longer. With a mix of reluctance and frustration, he broke the silence, "That business manual should belong to us, the Rowland family."

"Why?" Nathalie shot back, her confidence unwavering. "Nathan's belongings were his to decide. He chose to give them to me, so why should they end up with the Rowland family?"

Benjamin, clearly agitated, retorted, "He didn't have the right to make that decision. He was just a puppet, no legal capacity whatsoever."

Nathalie wasn't backing down. "But he was the original author of the manual. The copyright naturally belongs to him."

In his frustration, Benjamin blurted out, "He didn’t write that manual! Did he even have the skills? He was just something my brother created."

Nathalie's expression shifted, her face stiffening as disbelief washed over her. "What did you say?"

"You mean—Nathan was something your brother created?"

Flustered, Benjamin grabbed a cup of coffee, gulped it down too quickly, and yelped in pain, spitting it out in a messy spray.

Nathalie's gaze was steady, though beneath her calm exterior, emotions churned like a storm. "What’s your brother’s name?" Her voice wavered slightly.

Benjamin clammed up. "That’s a Rowland family secret. Don't ask, Nathalie. You should leave."

Nathalie went straight for the jugular, "So you don't want the business manual anymore?"

Benjamin slumped back, defeated. "Would you share it with me?" he asked.

"No," Nathalie said firmly, "but we could trade."

Benjamin rubbed his face, as if trying to wipe away his indecision. "Nathalie, what you want, I can’t give you."

"Is he with the McCoy family?"

"No..."

Nathalie was stunned. "If he's not with the McCoy family or the Rowland family, then where is he?"

"Stop asking, Nathalie. Just go." Benjamin stood up and made a quick exit, as if he were the one being chased out.

A sudden realization struck Nathalie, and she called out after him, "Is he in prison?"

Benjamin's steps faltered for a moment, but he didn't stop, hurrying away.

Feeling conflicted, Nathalie returned to her car. Lizzy drove them away steadily, the road stretching out ahead.
