Reborn From Oblivion
Chapter 140

"It's just a few properties. Let her have them. Our child shouldn't be looked down upon."

Greta struggled to replace her words, "She doesn't want just that. She wants my dad to hand over all his assets to her, no strings attached."

Cameron's eyes turned wide as saucers. He couldn't believe how greedy Nellie had become.

"How did she turn into this?" he wondered. The sweet, kind Nellie had somehow morphed into a vindictive, petty, and insatiably greedy person.

Tears welled up in Greta's eyes as she said, "Cameron, if we don't give in, what if she spills our secret?"

Cameron declared, "I'll hire the best legal team and fight her in court. Nellie, I can't wait to see what you've got against me."

A relieved Greta responded, "Cameron, finally, you're taking a stand against her. Nellie's just all bark and no bite. Her bravado is all because you've let her. Now that you're playing hardball, she might even get scared."

Cameron chuckled at himself. "I used to be too soft, letting her get away with too much. Once the lawsuit kicks off, she'll see how foolish it is to go against me."

Greta smiled, feeling at ease.

When Nellie got the court summons, she wasn't surprised. "Cameron, if you'd rather take this to court than settle things, I'll make sure you regret it."

She leaked the news of their divorce case online: [The jerk finally showed some decency, agreeing to divorce. But through a lawsuit. My ten years with him was just wasted.]

The internet exploded with the news.

On one side was the powerful heir, on the other, a helpless girl, Nellie. Public opinion largely rallied behind Nellie.

Of course, Cameron also hired some trolls to try to shake Nellie's confidence.

[Rumor has it Cameron has hired the top legal team from the Capital, and they're known for never losing a case. What's Nellie got to fight with?]

[Whether Cameron cheated is still uncertain. Nellie's evidence lacks punch. Maybe his kindness to Greta is just nostalgia for an old love, and Nellie's being irrationally jealous? Besides, in today's world, which guy doesn't stray? And he's been dealing with someone as shallow as Nellie every day, so can you even blame him?]

...

Nellie frowned as she read about "the best legal team." Only now did she see how outmatched her courage was against reality.

A knock on the door interrupted her thoughts.

"Come in," Nellie said, her voice a bit raspy.

Nathan entered, accompanied by a refined gentleman. Nellie looked at him, surprised.

Nathan announced, "Nellie, if Cameron's got the best from the Capital, then we'll get the world-renowned lawyer, Mr. Wade."

Nellie exclaimed, "Wade?"

She'd heard about Wade's sky-high fees, even higher than international superstars could afford. Plus, Wade only took on one case a year, and those who could hire him were global powerhouses.

How Nathan, so young, managed to get Wade on their side was beyond her.
