Chapter 102 Sorry

Finisher

“Elena, where were you yesterday?” Nathan finally spoke. “I was worried. I called, but your phone was off.”

Something about the situation had felt wrong to him.

He had even tried to get the hotel surveillance footage, only to be told the system had been undergoing upgrades and there was no data from that night.

Elena looked at him without expression. “After seeing what Camille posted, you expected me to just smile and finish the wedding with you?”

Nathan’s throat tightened.

He had no answer.

Camille stepped forward and grabbed Elena’s sleeve. “Elena, this is on me. Don’t take it out on Nathan. I’ll say sorry. I’ll do whatever it takes. If you want me to humiliate myself, fine. I will get on my knees.”

Her eyes were red, voice trembling.

“Okay,” Elena said evenly as she slipped her sleeve out of Camille’s grip. “Then do it.”

Camille blinked. “Do what?”

“You just said you’d get on your knees to apologize. I’m waiting.”

Camille stared at her, completely thrown.

She had only said it to create a scene and win sympathy, never intending to actually follow through. The idea of humiliating herself in front of Elena, of truly lowering herself that far, was something she had never seriously considered and certainly had no intention of doing.

Charles didn’t hesitate. His voice was sharp and steady. “You said you’d go that far. If that’s what you offered, then follow through.”

Camille instinctively placed a hand over her stomach and turned to Nathan, her eyes silently asking for

rescue.

Elena watched the exchange with a detached calm.

Right on schedule.

Nathan stepped forward and shifted Camille behind him. “Elena, I get that you’re upset. But Camille’s pregnant. This isn’t the time to make a scene like that.”

Elena tilted her chin slightly, her smile thin and cold. “Fine. If she can’t, you can.”

Nathan’s jaw tightened. “You’re angry, and I understand that. But pushing someone to that point is extreme. You weren’t like this before. You used to be compassionate. What happened to you?”

“Because I was kind,” Elena shot back, her voice trembling just enough, “you and Camille lied to me for five

years.”

She discreetly pinched herself, forcing tears to gather in her eyes.

“I tried so hard to be a good Mrs. Hawthorne. I handled everything. When Grandpa and Mom were sick, I stayed by their side. I took care of your schedule, your meals, your life. And what did I get? Camille is the real Mrs. Hawthorne. I was just the placeholder. Everyone knew. I was the joke.”

She looked straight at Nathan. “Do I look that easy to fool? Is that why you felt comfortable stringing me along for five years?”

Seeing her tears, something twisted painfully in Nathan’s chest. Charles could not hold back his own tears.

“If Elena doesn’t forgive you,” he said firmly, “you won’t see a single share from me.”

The ultimatum was clear.

Just then, Evan walked in.

“Grandpa, are you okay?” he asked, moving past Nathan and standing beside Charles. “Dad was worried about you and asked me to check in. How are you feeling today?”

Nathan’s gaze turned cold. “Here to visit Grandpa, or here for something else? You know exactly why you’re here.”

Daniel and Evan had been appearing frequently around Charles lately.

The reason was obvious.

Evan looked at Nathan calmly. “Even if I had other motives, at least I didn’t team up with an outsider and put Grandpa in the hospital. I haven’t met Elena many times, but I’ve heard about everything she’s done for the family. You live beside her every day and still treated her like this. No wonder Grandpa’s angry.”

Elena glanced at Evan briefly.

She felt nothing.

He and Daniel had been overseas for years and rarely came home.

His sudden defense of her had nothing to do with loyalty.

It was about shares. Nathan had no response.

Seeing that Charles was more stable now, Elena bent slightly and held his hand again. “Grandpa, I’ll visit again soon. Please take care.”

Charles nodded. “You’ve been wronged.”
