Chapter 394 A Sinister Plan

Nathan slowly stroked her hair.
“I know you’ve sacrificed a lot for me.”
He sighed softly.
“It’s just that our situation still isn’t stable enough yet.
Camille instantly became anxious again.
“What else could happen now?”
“Hawthorne Group is already yours, isn’t it?”
Charles was dead.
Victor and Daniel were in prison.
As for Evan-
what threat could he possibly still pose?
But at this point, Camille no longer cared about anything except Nathan forgiving her.
As long as he stayed beside her-
she was willing to do anything.
Nathan gently tucked her loose hair behind her ear.
“I know Evan can’t accomplish much anymore.”
His tone remained calm.
“But as long as he’s still around…”
Nathan lowered his eyes slightly.
“I can’t truly relax.”
“I won’t even sleep peacefully.”
Camille instinctively asked,
“Then… what do you want me to do?”

Nathan slowly took out a small plastic bottle and placed it into her hand.
“Give this to Evan.”
A faint smile appeared at the corner of his lips.
“You’ll know what to do.”
After all-
“He trusts you so much.”
Camille stared down at the tiny bottle in her hand.
It looked completely ordinary.
Yet somehow, it felt unbearably heavy.
A strange unease slowly spread through her chest.
“Nathan…”
She looked up nervously.
“If I really do this… will you truly forgive me?”
Nathan chuckled softly.
“Dummy.”
He leaned closer and kissed her forehead affectionately again.
“We’re husband and wife.”
“Of course I’ll forgive you.”
Whether she was simply deceiving herself-
or whether she still couldn’t let Nathan go-
Camille ultimately nodded.
“…Okay.”
“I’ll do it.”
“Good girl.”

Nathan finally released her and stood up to leave.
But before he could walk away, Camille suddenly grabbed the edge of his shirt tightly.
“Nathan…”
Her voice trembled faintly.
“Where are you going?”
Then, almost fearfully, she whispered:
“I’m scared.”
“Can you stay here and sleep beside me tonight?”

Sham Marriage Quit, Real Heiress Strikes Back
Chapter 394 Nathan’s Obsession
A strange uneasiness lingered deep inside Camille’s chest.
As though something important was quietly slipping away from her.
Nathan never answered her question.
He only turned back and looked at her once.

And somehow, that single glance alone was enough to make Camille slowly loosen her grip on his shirt.
After finishing her prenatal appointment, Elena drove to Goldcrest Group that afternoon.
Recently, the company had been negotiating a major partnership with an overseas corporation, and she had spent nearly the entire day buried in meetings.
By the time everything finally wrapped up, it was already nine at night.
Lucas followed behind her as they exited the building together.
“It’s pretty late, Ms. Sterling.”
He glanced at the time.
“Should I drive you home?”
“No need.”
Elena smiled politely while refusing.
“I’ve been caught up in personal matters lately, so thanks for helping keep an eye on the company for me.”
Then she added jokingly,
“Once this busy period’s over, I’ll make sure you get a proper vacation.”
Lucas laughed immediately.
“Then I’ll thank you in advance.”
And honestly, Elena wasn’t just making empty promises.

Ever since taking over Hart Group and officially renaming it Goldcrest Group, she had treated the employees exceptionally well.
Not only did everyone receive a company-wide raise-
she also increased overtime compensation and expanded employee benefits.
The staff who were initially nervous about the management change had gradually become completely supportive of her leadership.
Some employees were even privately saying:
If they had known Elena was this capable, they would’ve wanted her to take over much earlier.
“Go home already.”
Elena waved Lucas off.
Lucas didn’t insist further.
He simply got into his own car and left first.
Elena pulled her keys from her handbag and walked toward her car alone.
Then suddenly-
a cold sensation crept up behind her.
Every hair on her body instantly stood up.
Without even thinking, Elena reacted purely on instinct and swung her handbag backward as hard as she could.
But it never hit anyone.
Because someone caught it effortlessly midair.
Nathan stood there.
That dark, sinister face carried a faint smile.
“When did your temper become this bad?”
“Let go.”
Elena immediately yanked her bag back forcefully.

Nathan released it casually.
The moment she got it back, Elena instantly stepped several feet away to create distance between them.
Finished
At the same time, her other hand slipped inside her purse and tightly gripped the pepper spray hidden inside.
Nathan noticed the movement and let out a mocking laugh.
“You don’t need to look that nervous.”
His tone sounded lazy.
“I’m not going to hurt you.”
Elena almost laughed from disbelief.
“Don’t you think that sounds ridiculous coming from you?”
Her eyes turned cold.
Had he forgotten already?
He was the one who nearly snapped her neck with his own hands before.
Nathan’s expression flickered faintly for a moment at the memory.
A trace of darkness passed through his eyes.
But it disappeared almost immediately.
“Divorce Alexander.”
Elena stared at him like he had gone insane.
“What?”
Nathan slowly spread his hands.
“Everything’s already returned to how it was before.”
“I’ve reclaimed Hawthorne Group.”
His gaze locked onto hers obsessively.

Chapter 394 Nathan’s Obsession
“As long as you divorce Alexander and come back to me…”
Nathan’s lips curved slightly.
“I can pretend none of this ever happened.”
This wasn’t even the first time he had said something like this.
And every single time Elena heard it-
she only found him more shameless and despicable.
“Camille is pregnant with your child.”
Elena’s voice turned colder and colder.
“And I’m carrying Alexander’s baby.”
She looked at him in disbelief.
“Nathan Hawthorne, did a dog eat your conscience?”
How could he say something like this so calmly?
“The child isn’t mine.”
Nathan suddenly stepped closer.
“The baby belongs to Evan.”
His tone remained frighteningly calm.
“If you don’t like it, I can make her terminate the pregnancy immediately.”
Then he stared directly into Elena’s eyes.
“Elena.”
“The Kingsley family won’t survive much longer.”
“And Alexander won’t either.”
A strange smile slowly appeared on his face.
“Without the Kingsleys behind him…”
“What exactly is Alexander worth?”

It sounded almost as though Nathan was already imagining Alexander losing everything.
And the more he imagined it-
the more amused he became.
Every word he spoke made Elena’s blood run colder.
“What do you mean by that?”
A terrible feeling rose inside her instantly.
Was he planning something else?
At that moment, Elena completely forgot her fear and stepped directly toward him.
