Chapter 182

Natalie watched the chaos she had set in motion with a wicked sense of satisfaction, feeling both exhilarated

and a bit sore. Greta's tears, Kristina's fainting, and Cameron's helplessness... Why should she care? "Nellie, did

you call Greta and my mom here?" Cameron demanded.

Natalie flashed a sly grin. "Sure did. So, Cameron, what's your plan to thank me?"

Cameron's eyes blazed with a fury that could melt steel. "Thank you? You drove my mom to this state, and you

think I should be grateful?"

Natalie raised an eyebrow. "Con, Cameron, be sensible. Your wife's the one who pushed your mom over the

edge, not me. Shouldn't you be having this chat with her instead of your well-meaning ex-wife? That's just plain

ungrateful." "Nellie-you've always been a handful, and I've put up with it. But this time, you've really crossed the

line. Playing games with Greta and my mom's health is unacceptable," Cameron fumed, his words nearly tripping

over his anger. "I'll never forgive you." Natalie chuckled, shaking her head. "Cameron, as if your forgiveness is

something | need."

"I guess I've been way too easy on you," Cameron muttered through gritted teeth.

Natalie let out a hearty laugh. "Well, don't you worry. I'm curious to see what happens when you finally get

tough. What'll it be like when you lose to me?"

Then, she strutted off, her heels clicking defiantly on the floor.

Cameron stood there, watching her leave, completely at a loss. He had faked being drunk today, secretly

believing that Natalie, who had once been head over heels for him, couldn't just stop loving him overnight. Her

decision to divorce was probably just a desperate move from a broken heart.

If he could just show her a glimpse of his softer side, maybe she'd let her guard down. If there was still flicker of

feeling for him, he could convince her to scrap the deal between the Rowland and McCoy families.

All he needed was to play the role of a devoted lover to rescue his struggling business.

However, Natalie's icy demeanor today gave him chills. Even when he was supposedly drunk and in pain, she

didn't bat an eye. Instead, she coolly orchestrated a text to his wife and mother, setting up a tic family

feud. And she seemed to rétish Greta's injury and his mother fainting.

She was ruthless.

Today, he felt like a complete idiot. Nellie didn't love him anymore. Once he realized this, Cameron felt an

unexpected void inside him.

At the hospital, Kristina woke up to find it was already noon the next day.

Cameron was by her bed, looking worn out. A shadow of stubble was on his face. He looked utterly defeated.

As soon as she saw him, Kristina pointed to the door. "Get out. | don't want to see you, you ungrateful son."

Cameron's eyes filled with tears. "Mom, you never liked Nellie, so | divorced her. Now I'm with Greta, but you're

still unhappy?"

Kristina sat up, seething. "Greta is nothing compared to Nellie."

Cameron's jaw dropped. His mother's words completely flipped his understanding. "Mom, Greta's outside. Give

her a break, will you?"

Kristina snapped, "Did | lie? Greta

can't hold a candle to Nellie. She lacks Nellie's beauty, kindness, and care and spends your money like it's going

out of style. You must've been blind to marry her."
