Chapter 292
Nathalie was at a loss for words. Nathan was really pushing it.
"Alright, I'm just gonna grab a drink."
Nathan kept an eye on her. "Stick to mocktails."
Nathalie muttered under her breath, "You're such a worrywart. Aren't you worried about getting old fast?"
After she walked off, Justin teased Nathan, "Everyone thinks you're so aloof and not interested in women. It
seems the world has got you all wrong."
Nathan's eyes followed Nathalie. As she reached for a glass of wine on the bar, she caught Nathan's sharp,

Justin. "I'm only sweet to Nathalie."
Justin was baffled. "I've always wondered why Miss Nellie changed her nto Nathalie. She changed her name,
and you fell head over heels. Was it destiny?" Nathan chuckled. "Maybe."
Nathalie sat quietly in a corner, nursing her mocktail. Her beauty was undeniable. With her elegant dress and
radiant skin, she practically glowed.
She caught many eyes.
Next to her, a few gossiping women kept the chatter going after recognizing her. "Why did Mr. Rowland pick her
as his date? Isn't she Cameron Dawson's ex-wife?" "Yeah, how does she have the gall to show up at her former
father-in-law's party?"
Nathalie's expression soured. She hadn't expected to be a target of criticism even in this new chapter of her life.
But after hearing such endless remarks, she'd grown numb. She met their gazes calmly and even graced them
with a gentle smile. It was a masterclass in killing with kindness. Then, Ashley and Greta jumped on the
bandwagon, ramping up the mockery to new heights.
"She was supposed to be my sister, but she seduced my boyfriend while | was sick and even married him. Thank
goodness Cameron stayed true tome. It's a shame, though, Cameron cout of that whirlwind marriage with
half his life and
fortune gone."
Ashley brazenly strode up to Nathalie, glaring daggers at her and pointing accusingly. "Nathalie, | never
imagined you to be such a
two-timer. You've hurt Cameron

much, and now you're after Nathan.
If you had any dignity, you'd leave Nathan be."
A pack of women gathered around, eager to please Ashley. They echoed her accusations against Nathalie.
"With looks like that, she must be a floozy."
"The two most handsmen in the city both seem to be under her spell. First Cameron, now Nathan,"
Nathalie's serene demeanor probably riled them up even more because they started getting physical. One of
them snatched her cocktail and poured it over her. This blatant bullying drew even more attention.
In a corner, Cameron watched Nathalie, frail and besieged by a crowd of women. The scene took him back years.
He couldn't help but think
sarcastically, 'She's all bark and no bite. She only shows her claws to gentlemen like me, but she turns into a
coward in front of a mob of unruly women.
