Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 127

Cameron stumbled over his words, trying to explain, "It's just a broken locket. Why do you have to make a big deal? You know it’s for your sister. Her health is touch and go, and her life could end any day now. Think of it as doing a good deed, fulfilling her last wish. Nellie, this is the last time I'll help her. I'm asking you, can't you see reason?"

Nellie stared at him, her face expressionless. At that moment, she had a sneaking suspicion that Cameron knew the true significance of Timeless Cycle.

Nellie met his gaze, her words measured and steady. "Cameron, you love her, and you want to give her the best this world has to offer. But why on earth would I want a man whose heart is already taken by someone else?"

"Cameron, you're despicable."

Cameron's eyes widened, unable to find the words.

Turning to Nathan, Nellie said, "Mr. Nathan, I can handle the billion on my own. Could you give me a bit more time?"

Nathan, with a generous tone, replied, "I'm a man of my word. Our open-ended agreement stands, so you can pay back whenever. But—"

With a sly look at Cameron, he added, "If you haven't cleared your debt by the time you pass, your remains will belong to me."

The taunting tone really got under Cameron's skin.

Nellie gave a wry smile, realizing Nathan was acting a bit immature. How could Cameron possibly care about her remains? He never cared about her in life. Why would he in death?

"Don't worry, whether I'm alive or not, you can deal with my body as you see fit," Nellie said.

Nathan beamed, "Then it's settled. No going back on this."

"I won't," Nellie confirmed.

Cameron's pride and ego were crushed under Nathan's words, sparking frustration inside him.
