Chapter 144
Wade's usually icy exterior cracked with a victorious grin. "Your Honor, as you can see, Cameron has always been
on guard about keeping his assets away from Nellie, both before and after their marriage. This adds weight to
the suspicion of marriage fraud." The judge gave a slight nod.
Cameron looked visibly rattled. His lawyer jumped in to backtrack. "In wealthy families, it's typical to have a
prenup. Does that mean couples are all up to something shady?"
Wade shot back, "But do the people in those circles go as far as taking their wife's organs?"
The opposing lawyer was stumped.
Switching gears, Wade pressed on, "Your Honor, my client demands the return of all the gifts Cameron gave
Greta during their marriage."

He rattled off the list. "A villa at Bayview Heights, a townhouse in Left Bank City, a diamond necklace worth
millions, and limited edition designer bags..."
Greta's face turned ghostly white, and she bit her lip.
Cameron's face was like ash. Wade's move, while not directly benefiting Nellie, was a serious power play against
them.
The room buzzed with whispers. "He claims he didn't cheat? Yeah, right."
"These two are just the worst. Poor Nellie must have the worst luck meeting them."
"He looks all polished, but he's no better than a monster."
Cameron was seething, his face flushed with anger at the torrent of insults. He had never been so publicly
shamed.
The judge had to bang the gavel several times to bring back order. "Does either side have anything else to add?"
Wade raised his hand. "Yes."
"Please proceed."
Wade gave a wry smile. "In addition to marriage fraud, we suspect Cameron of bigamy." He handed over Greta's
pregnancy test results.
Greta burst out, "I'm suing the hospital! They breached patient privacy."
The judge said, "Greta, please stay calm. We're here to handle the divorce case between Nellie and Cameron.
Your issue with the hospital is separate."
Cameron turned as pale as a ghost.

The idea that the hospital would risk its reputation to leak patient information in Nellie's favor made Cameron
nervous for the first time. It even crossed his mind that Nellie wasn't just a girl from the slums but someone with
serious connections. The opposing legal team was sharp. "Mr. Wade, you can't prove the child Greta's carrying is
Cameron's. Your accusation doesn't hold."
Wade exchanged a knowing glance with Nellie. They both knew Greta and Cameron wouldn't be foolish enough
to hand over proof of paternity.
From the start, Nellie's aim wasn't to nail Cameron for bigamy. She was merely sowing seeds of doubt in the
public's mind. In ten months, when Greta's child is born, will she still claim Cameron as the father?
If she does, that locks in the bigamy charge.
After several rounds of heated debate, the judge finally announced, "This marriage has irretrievably broken
down, and the divorce is granted. Since the husband has a prenup, he doesn't owe Nellie any financial
compensation."
