Reborn From Oblivion

Cameron's face tightened. "You really don't need to worry about what they say..."

Nellie let out a sarcastic laugh.

Cameron frowned. "What did I say that's so amusing?"

Nellie replied, "When those rumors are about me, you expect me to just suck it up. But if they were about Greta, would you tell her to do the same?"

She tossed the credit card onto the floor and strode away. As she walked off, her voice rang back, clear and sharp. "You're pretty generous buying my sister a dress." Cameron stood there, rooted in place, her words leaving him feeling ashamed. Had he really only been defending Greta and never considering Nellie's feelings? As he watched Nellie's retreating figure, her nonchalant attitude towards him inexplicably got under his skin.

Back in her bedroom, Nellie flopped onto her bed, eyes closed, trying to relax. Suddenly, her phone rang with a familiar tune, prompting her to answer almost instinctively. "Hey! The fashion week gala is happening tonight. You've been sent a special invite. Are you going?" Lizzy's cheerful voice chirped through the phone. Without missing a beat, Nellie answered, "Absolutely."

Why wouldn't she go? She wanted to show Cameron that what he thought of as a gift was something she could easily have on her own.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

His so-called generosity? Just a joke to her.

"Lizzy, get me a dress. Make it the most stunning one."

Lizzy's excitement was palpable. "Are you planning to make a killer impression? I'll bring the dress right over."

At 6 p.m., Nellie heard Cameron's car pulling out of the driveway. She stood by the large window, a sly, cold smirk tugging at her lips.

The gala was still hours away, but there was Cameron, eager to meet Greta.

At the International Club, Cameron

and Greta arrived at the elite's pre-gala for fashion week. They were a striking pair, drawing admiration the moment they walked in.

"Mr. Dawson and Ms. Greta are such a perfect match."

Those in the know lamented over this pair. It's such a shame that Mr. Dawson wanted to save Greta and had to marry that woman because she donated a kidney to Greta."

Cameron and Greta quickly became the evening's most admired couple.

"Mr. Dawson remains devoted to his old love while staying true to his wife-it's rare to find someone so passionate and honorable."

But amidst the compliments, a lone voice of dissent cut through the air.

"Oh, please! People these days make

infidelity sound so noble. If Mr. Dawson can't let go of his past, he shouldn't have dragged someone else into it. Now he's got a lovely wife at home and yet he's sneaking around with his ex. How is this not cheating? And some folks even praise such betrayal as being

passionate and honorable?"

Cameron and Greta's faces flushed with embarrassment. Feeling uneasy, Cameron quickly dropped Greta's hand.

Everyone turned toward the voice, only to see a stunning figure gliding into the room.
