Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 278

Miranda's head was hanging so low it looked like she was about to kiss the ground. Nathalie was determined not to let anyone see her wounds. But Lizzy couldn’t hold back her frustration, and spoke up on her behalf. “Mr. Nathan, it’s all Miranda’s fault. She said a bunch of horrible things last night and made Nathalie cry.”

Nathan let go of Nathalie and marched over to Miranda with a menacing glare. “What did you say?”

Just as Lizzy was about to explain, Nathan raised a hand to stop her. “I want to hear it from her.”

Summoning all her courage, Miranda glanced up at Nathan, but his fierce eyes made her feel like she was being sucked into a black hole. Her breath caught, and she quickly dropped her gaze again.

“Speak,” Nathan commanded, his voice booming.

Miranda's voice shook as she replied, “I didn’t say anything…”

After a moment, as if recalling something, she haltingly added. “Oh, she wanted to know the truth about our family, so I told her. She’s not Patrick’s real daughter…”

Nathan’s eyes darkened dangerously, his fists clenching under his sleeves. “And what else?”

Miranda tried to play innocent. “I just don’t get it. She only lost a kidney, but she acts like we owe her everything. Can’t she be more forgiving? Wouldn't it be better if we all just got along?”

As Miranda spoke, a chill ran down her spine. She looked up at Nathan. His icy gaze felt like a thousand arrows piercing through her, leaving her trembling.

Nathan was furious as he said, “How dare you! Why do you expect her to help you so selflessly? You're so shameless. You don’t deserve this life anymore.”

Lizzy clapped in agreement. “Right on. Mr. Nathan has spoken, and I’ll happily oblige.”

Lizzy fetched a pill from a drawer, dropped it into a glass of water, and walked over to Miranda.
