Chapter 180 Truth Exposed
Nathan didn’t say a single word about making things right with Camille. Instead, he kept circling back to Elena, unable to hide how much he still wanted her.
“Camille’s done everything for your son, and not once have you acknowledged it,” Catherine snapped, her voice sharp and rising. “But the second Elena says Camille faked a pregnancy, you call us over like it’s some kind of emergency. What’s the plan here, huh? You trying to force a divorce?”
She had one hand planted on her hip, the other wrapped protectively around Camille, like a mother shielding her child. Her voice carried across the room, fast and heated.
“Let me make this clear,” Catherine continued, pointing a finger as she spoke. “That’s not happening. If you think you can bully her, I don’t care what it costs me, I won’t let it slide.”
Victoria wasn’t someone you could push around either.
Watching Camille dodge every suggestion of going to the hospital, she had already p pieces together.
The “pregnancy” was probably fake.
A cold smile spread across her face.
“Did we beg Camille to marry Nathan?” Victoria said, her tone dripping with sarcasm.
“Did we chase after her and drag her into this family?”
She let out a short, sharp laugh, her eyes full of contempt.
“Your daughter couldn’t wait to attach herself to the Hawthornes, and now you’re standing here blaming us?” Victoria’s voice rose. “Wasn’t she raised as your precious little heiress? So why is she the one throwing herself at a man like this?”
Victoria was furious now.
Every word she said cut deeper than the last, and she made no effort to soften any of it.
“Enough.”
Nathan’s voice cut through the room.
He looked at Camille, his expression conflicted, as if there was still a small part of him hoping this wasn’t true.
