Chapter 51
Nellie's voice was cold as ice. "Better to stand your ground than to stir up for no reason."
Greta sniffled, "We ctoday to invite you to my celebration party. I'd love for you to cbut won't force you
if you're not up for it. | just really wanted to share my happiness with you." Then, Greta handed her an invitation
and stumbled away. Cameron stood there, torn between Greta and Nellie, before finally sighing and going after
Greta. He always chose Greta.
Nellie tossed the invitation into the fireplace without a second thought. The room was instantly filled with the
acrid smell of burning plastic. Greta and Cameron were not yet out the door. They turned back, eyes wide with
shock at the sight of the invitation being devoured by flames.
Nellie used to be eager to attend every party just to catch a glimpse of Cameron.
Cameron's expression darkened, his voice filled with restraint. "Nellie, if you don't go to your sister's party, she'll

Nellie rolled her eyes. "Cameron, if you want to cater to all her needs, that's your business. Just leaveout of
it."
Cameron's face went pale. He stammered, "Your sister's not well. I'm just looking after her. Why do you have to
be so harsh?"
Nellie scoffed, "Funny, | don't see you caring for me, your actual wife..."
Cameron was visibly uncomfortable.
With tears in her eyes, Greta said, "Nel, Cameron and | are truly in love. He married you out of necessity. If you
have any decency, you'd let him cback to me."
Cameron snapped at Greta, "Greta, what nonsense are you spouting?"
Nellie suddenly felt nauseous.
Lizzy, concerned, asked, "Are you okay?"
Greta and Cameron both looked at Nellie, puzzled. Greta, particularly uneasy, glanced at Cameron as if she
figured something out.
Cameron's gaze drilled into Nellie, questioning.
Nellie shrugged at Lizzy. "Oh, nothing, just a bit queasy from seeing something gross."
Cameron's expression turned stormy. "Nellie, you've been out here too long and are getting reckless. You're
coming back hwithin a few days. Tto straighten up."
Nellie rolled her eyes again. "So, | have to drop everything and go hbecause you say so, and cback
when you decide?"

"Why should I? Cameron, I'm not your puppet. You don't get to pull my strings."
Cameron was dumbfounded. Nellie's defiance was a revelation to him.
He said firmly, "Nellie, you don't have a choice."
In his eyes, Nellie saw the bold decisiveness of a businessman. She felt a sudden, inexplicable panic.
That evening, Nellie got a text from Nathan.
[I heard from Lizzy that you've managed to get Jasmine as your mentor. I'm thrilled for you. To celebrate, I've got
a surprise waiting for you at Milan Clubhouse. Make sure you swing by and pick it up yourself.] Nellie's lips curled
into a smile.
"The Milan Clubhouse?"
Greta's party was being held at Milan Clubhouse in town. Local bigwigs, respecting Cameron's status, showed up
to support Greta. Cameron and Greta's close pals had also traveled from afar, giving Greta plenty of attention.
