Reborn From Oblivion
Chapter 115

"Nellie, seriously, take a look at yourself. Where's the dignity and grace of Mrs. Dawson?

"You don't have the looks to impress nor the brains to handle business, and every day is another episode of drama... I must've been cursed to end up marrying you," Cameron shouted, his eyes blazing like a trapped animal. Nellie slowly regained her calm. She picked herself up from the cold floor, her face a mask of desolation, but inside, her heart was a storm.

She had thought Cameron was just cold because he didn't love her. But it wasn't just that he actually looked down on her.

"Cameron, have you finally shown your true self? All that talk about being responsible for me forever was just nonsense. It was actually a show to make yourself look honorable," Nellie chuckled weakly, her voice barely above a whisper. "How foolish I've been." It took living two lives to see Cameron's true colors.

"Cameron, doesn't it make you sick to keep dragging this out?"

Hit where it hurt, Cameron fumed after holding it in for too long. "Nellie, you've gotten smarter. But no matter what you do, I won't divorce you. My reputation can't be tarnished because of you."

Watching Cameron stumble away, Nellie smirked a little.

How laughable. Despite her humble beginnings, Nellie wasn't just a pretty face but also a force to be reckoned with in business. Cameron was blind to her worth.

That night, Nellie couldn't sleep. Cameron's refusal to divorce her was a constant headache. Only in the early hours, worn out, did she finally drift off.

Half-asleep, she caught bits of a conversation-Greta's voice. "Cameron, Timeless Cycle is priceless. Nathan wouldn't have spent all that money just to hand it to Nellie. She must have offered him something big in return."

"She's a woman with nothing. What could she offer Nathan?" Cameron scoffed.

"Cameron, you and Nathan are business rivals. Aren't you worried Nellie might sell your secrets if Nathan bought her off?"

Cameron's arrogant voice came through: "Her? Even if I laid out all my secrets, she wouldn't get them. She's too simple to be a spy."

Nellie's eyes opened, her lips curled in a smile that didn't reach her eyes.

'Cameron, oh Cameron, after all this time, you really don't know me.'

Her company called Forever Yours was barely a year old, but it was already bringing in millions. People called her a business genius.

Greta speculated maliciously, "Nellie never had love from our parents and grew up poor. Someone like her can't resist material temptation. Just a bit of warmth from Nathan, and she'd be all his. Timeless Cycle is worth a fortune, I bet she'd be at his beck and call forever."

The thought of his wife serving another man stirred something ugly in Cameron. His anger, barely contained, threatened to blow the roof off. "I won't let her have the chance to be with any other men."
