Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 745

Nathalie's eyes widened in disbelief. "Cameron, you said it yourself: Nina is a sensitive and fragile child. Since you took her in, you should be taking good care of her, not abandoning her. Do you think she's some pet or toy you can just toss aside when you're done?"

Cameron stood there, speechless, as Nathalie's words hit him like a ton of bricks.

"You really make me sick, Cameron," Nathalie added with disdain, walking away without even giving him a second glance.

At the McCoy estate...

By the time Nathalie arrived at the McCoy estate, Frankie had just woken from her afternoon nap and was ready to meet her.

"Nathalie, I had James reach out to you because I wanted to discuss a business collaboration between our families," Frankie said.

Nathalie was puzzled. "Mrs. McCoy, our families have always been so close-knit. Why the sudden change of heart? Why do you want to work with me?"

Frankie replied, "The McCoy family always puts profit and future prospects above personal feelings. After all, I've got thousands of employees counting on me to keep food on their tables."

Nathalie looked bewildered, struggling to understand whether Frankie's seemingly cold and calculated approach was right or wrong.

Frankie continued, "I grew up in a family of merchants. As a kid, I read more about business strategies than moral philosophies. My mother taught me that when a woman starts a business, she must avoid being overly sentimental. Sometimes breaking trust with one to uphold commitments to many is justifiable."

Nathalie nodded, half-understanding. "Your mother had her reasons, indeed."

Frankie said, "I've chosen you, Nathalie. Don't let me down."

Nathalie assured her, "Don't worry, Mrs. McCoy. Whatever benefits the main branch has offered you, our branch won't fall short."

Frankie nodded in approval.

"Ah, the tender heart of a woman," Lincoln mused with a laugh.

But he was puzzled too. "Since you haven't threatened her, her actions are indeed perplexing."

After a moment, a realization hit Lincoln. "Nathalie, it seems like you've got someone influential on your side."

Nathalie's eyes widened in shock.

She had endured a lifetime of hardship, always hoping for someone to help her, but for a long time, no one had brought her any light—until Nathan appeared.

All her warmth came from him.

Could it be him this time?
