Reborn From Oblivion
Chapter 153

Greta quickly backed down. The defiant glint in her eyes vanished as she stared meekly at Cameron. "Cameron, I'm too weak to walk."

Cameron turned to Nellie, anger in his voice. "Your sister just went through a major surgery yesterday; she's still very frail. How could you be so heartless, making her walk alone?"

Nellie glanced at Greta, and Cameron wasn't wrong. Greta looked pale and bruised, her eyes red and swollen with exhaustion. But what did that matter to her? Greta had trampled all over her dignity, and now Nellie wasn't even allowed to defend her own? "Fine," Nellie said decisively. "If you can't bear to see her walk, then I'll leave instead, alright?"

Greta didn't want to miss her chance to see Cameron and Nellie's marriage end. She quickly got off Cameron and grabbed Nellie's hand tightly. "Nel, come on, why are you so mad at me? Aren't you eager to divorce Cameron? If you miss today, you'll just drag this mess out longer, and that's torture for both of you."

Nellie was indeed desperate to escape this toxic marriage. She paused and shook off Greta's hand with disgust. "Regretting it now, huh? Weren't you just smug a minute ago?"

Greta was weak, and with just a gentle push from Nellie, she tumbled to the ground.

Cameron rushed forward, grabbing Nellie by the throat in fury. "How could you hurt your sister?"

Nellie gasped for air, her face quickly turning a shade of purple, but she stared at Cameron with defiance, her eyes blazing with a chilling determination. "Cameron, you might as well kill me. If you don't, just watch as I slowly torment your darling until she's gone." Cameron's heart skipped a beat under her venomous gaze, and he let go abruptly.

"Coward," Nellie spat with disdain.

Cameron was rattled. Did Nellie really want him to kill her?

"You are crazy," he muttered. "If you want to die, go replace a rope and hang yourself."

Nellie clutched her aching throat, her tear-filled eyes glinting with a cold, vengeful light. "If I go down, I'll take you with me."

A chill ran through Cameron. Did she wish for him to kill her just so he couldn't escape being punished either?

""Nellie, you're out of your mind," he said, unnerved.

Nellie ignored him, turning instead to Greta. "If you want me to divorce this jerk, then kneel to me, and apologize for what you did. If not, I'd rather die than divorce."

Greta had dreamed her whole life of becoming Mrs. Dawson. She got up, and knelt before Nellie. "Nel, I'm sorry. +shouldn't have come between you and Cameron. Please forgive me."

Nellie clapped her hands in satisfaction and headed into the registration office.

Cameron watched Nellie, now brimming with hostility, and felt as though a massive weight pressed on his heart. He couldn't believe that his actions had destroyed the simple, kind, and trusting girl.

He picked up Greta and placed her in the car. "Greta, wait here for me."

This time, Greta had learned her lesson and didn't dare provoke Nellie further. She nodded obediently. "Okay."

Cameron then headed into the registration office. For some reason, the place was unusually quiet today. Nellie sat at the counter, chatting animatedly with the staff. "Girl, you were incredible just now," one of them said.

"Remember, when dealing with jerks and mean girls, you've got to be tougher than they are," Nellie said, passionately sharing her advice.
