Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 815

The boys and girls in the class had split into two rival groups, hurling sharp words and heated arguments at each other. It was in this tense atmosphere that Nathalie found her seat.

Meanwhile, the girl who had come with her started whispering with the others, occasionally throwing disdainful looks Nathalie's way. Nathalie rubbed her temples, feeling a headache creeping in. In a low voice, she confided to Diego, sitting beside her, "Being your girlfriend is no walk in the park."

Diego was taken aback, especially since Nathalie's tone was dripping with frustration. This was a blow to his ego, as he fancied himself quite the golden boy.

"Someone as outstanding as me is bound to have lots of rivals vying for my girlfriend's attention."

Nathalie was floored. Her boyfriend Nathan, with his striking looks and exceptional talent, always carried himself with dignity and never dragged her into unnecessary drama with other women. Compared to Nathan, Diego seemed like the king of bad boys.

"Not worth it," she muttered. "The best kind of love is where both people can be comfortable, not where one is tossed into a sea full of rivals."

Diego was momentarily stunned. Nathalie's logic made him see her in a whole new light.

"How about a game of Truth or Dare?" one girl suggested, her eyes fixed maliciously on Nathalie.

"Sure," Nathalie replied, thinking it was the most tedious idea ever.

When the bottle pointed at Nathalie, she reluctantly chose truth.

"Ashley, did you agree to be Diego’s girlfriend because of his money or the power he can bring you?"

"You have to pick one."

They were trying to paint her as a gold digger.

"I like his money. At least if he has money, I don't have to spend mine," Nathalie replied with confidence.

The girls who aimed to corner Nathalie looked thoroughly displeased. Diego's face darkened. "I don't mooch off anyone."

Nathalie chuckled softly. Interesting.

She smiled and said, "I only mentioned the first part. I didn’t finish my sentence."

"And what’s the second part?" the girl asked coldly.

Nathalie replied, "Unless I’m the one being misled."

"What do you mean?" The group of girls exchanged puzzled glances.

Diego tugged at Nathalie’s hand. "Nathalie, it’s just a game. No need to take it seriously."

Nathalie shook off his hand, picked up her tea cup, and poured it over Diego's face. "It means I didn't know this man had a girlfriend."
