Chapter 169
Nathalie suddenly took off her glasses. Her eyes, lightly accentuated with makeup, usually sparkled with
brightness, but now they flashed with a fiery anger.
"Go on, hit me," she challenged, stepping forward, practically daring Cameron to throw a punch.
Cameron, caught off guard by her steely glare, hesitated and slowly dropped his hand.
"What a pair of idiots," Nathalie muttered, her teeth clenched in frustration.
Seeing Cameron's hesitation, Greta chimed in, "Nel, we're family. Families don't hold grudges forever. Going
against us isn't smart. Cameron's success benefits you, too. If he goes down, so does your support."
She reached out to grab Nellie's hand, but Nellie swiftly pulled away. "Don't touch me. We're not that close,"

Greta froze, tears welling up as she pleaded, "Are you still angry with me? Nel, I'm your sister, your own flesh
and blood. | know Cameron and | didn't treat you right, but you've gotten your revenge. We were shamed online,
and | lost my child. Nel, we're even now. | owe you nothing."
Nellie looked at her with disinterest. "It's a shyou're not on stage. You'd make a great actress," she
remarked coolly.
Greta's face flushed with embarrassment. "Nel, am | wrong..."
Nellie's gaze on her was as if she was examining a rare artifact. "Your child's death is karma for your actions. The
online scandal happened because of your own behavior. Your misfortunes are your doing and have nothing to do
with me. But my suffering, that's on you..."
Greta trembled, her face turning ashen. "How did you becso relentless?"
Suddenly, Cameron pulled Greta behind him, enraged as he lashed out at Nellie. Nellie, you think you're so high
and mighty because you've got Nathan now, don't you? You're fooling yourself if you believe a man like him
would truly love someone who got divorced and aborted a
child. He's just using Orted a
you to climb
higher than Benjamin. Once you're no longer useful, he'll toss you aside. Don't ccrying tothen."
Nathalie slapped Cameron hard across the face.
"What?" Greta gasped in shock.
Cameron stood there, stunned, glaring at Nellie in disbelief. "You dare hit me?"

Nellie fired back, "Who's the
shameless jerk that turnedinto a divorcee? Who caused my miscarriage? Cameron, you madefeet
worthless, but you question my chance at real love. How did | ever miss how revolting you really afe?"
Cameron stood up, straightening his clothes and clenching his fists. His face darkened with anger as he moved
toward Nellie, and his chest heaved with rage.
It was clear he was about to hit her.
That was when Nathan stepped in, positioning Nathalie safely behind him. "You wouldn't hit a woman, would
you?" Cameron snapped, "She deserves it."
Nathan replied calmly, “When you first brought her home, she was innocent and defenseless. Now she's like a
hedgehog, all spines. Shouldn't you reflect on how you pushed her to this point?"
Cameron's tall frwavered, and Nathan's words forced him to reflect on his past with Nellie.
