Sham Marriage Quit Real Heiress Strikes Back novel Chapter 205

Chapter 205 Breaking Point

Evan couldn’t stand it.

If Nathan lost everything, would Camille still look at him like that?

Nathan let out a cold laugh.

“You really think this is enough to take Hawthorne Group from me? Not happening.”

Evan shrugged. “Then I guess we’ll see what you’ve actually got.”

He turned and walked off.

Nathan was completely wasted at Blue Note Lounge. Victoria had called him over a dozen times. He didn’t pick up once.

Empty bottles lined the bar in front of him, one after another

“Another one,” Nathan said, sliding his glass forward.

The bartender brought a fresh bottle. Just as Nathan reache

to open it, a hand pressed down over his.

“Hey, that’s enough. You keep going like this, you’re gonna mess up your stomach.”

Nathan’s vision was blurry. He squinted at the woman in front of him. Long hair falling over her shoulders, a soft smile, a beige trench coat.

“Elena… when did you get here?”

Camille’s smile froze.

These past few days, she had texted him nonstop, called him over and over. He ignored everything.

The one reply she got was cold. He just wanted space.

Tonight, she only found out he was here from a friend and rushed over without thinking twice.

For a second, the way he looked at her felt gentle. She thought maybe he had forgiven her.

And then he said Elena’s name. The humiliation hit instantly.

He’s looking right at me… and calling me her?

Camille forced herself to stay composed as she stepped closer.

“Babe, you’ve got the wrong person,” Camille said, keeping her voice soft. “It’s me.

Camille.”

Nathan blinked hard.

The blur in front of him slowly came into focus.

Recognition settled in. His expression cooled.

“What are you doing here?”

Because of her, Monica walked. The thought sharpened his tone even more.

“You wouldn’t see me,” Camille said, reaching for him. “I missed you.”

She grabbed his hand and pressed it against her chest. “Didn’t you miss me?”

Her skin was warm, soft. It did nothing for him. Nathan pulled his hand back immediately.

“You should go.”

“I’m not leaving”

Camille’s voice tightened, but she held her ground.

Fint he

“I know you’re still mad about the fake pregnancy, but I only did that because I was scared of losing you. And it’s not like I can’t actually get pregnant. That’s going to happen eventually, And I love you more than Elena ever did.”

She looked at him, eyes glistening. “What, you’re really going to break up with me and go back to her?”

She didn’t stop.

“Elena’s already with Alexander. She went straight to him. People are talking. If you got back together with her, could you really stand there while everyone whispers about how she’s been with another guy?”

Nathan’s expression darkened further.

His hand clenched into a fist. He didn’t say a word.

Camille felt a surge of satisfaction.

I knew it. His pride won’t let that slide.

She leaned in closer, softening her voice.

“Babe, let’s just fix this, okay? You’ve been working on that Talent Group deal, right? Maybe I can even help

That did it. Nathan shoved her away hard.

Camille stumbled, nearly falling, catching herself against the bar at the last second.

She looked at him, hurt and confused. “Why are you taking this out on me?”

“You seriously don’t get it?”

Nathan snapped, his voice rising.

I

my

you hadn’t gone behind back and bribed Monica’s assistant, she wouldn’t think we’re the same kind of people. That deal is gone because of you. Gone.”

Finished

His eyes were bloodshot. “Happy now? Or do you need to see me lose everything before you’re satisfied?” Camille flinched, but the more she thought about it, the more something didn’t add up.

“That’s not why!”

She grabbed his arm tightly.

“Monica turned me down a long time ago. But Elena? She’s been meeting her nonstop. I heard Monica went straight to see her the second she got back into town. That’s not just business.”

Her voice sharpened. “Nathan, they’re messing with us. They’re trying to turn you against me.”

“You’re still blaming Elena?” Nathan looked at her like he didn’t recognize her anymore.

“When did you become like this?”

He pried her fingers off his arm, one by one, then grabbed his jacket and staggered out of the bar without looking back.

Elena had no idea Monica had switched partners. It was time for her regular report.

She arrived at the office early. Her assistant had already organized everything she needed.

Elena grabbed the files and headed out for Pinnacle Group headquarters.
