Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 307

"Nathalie, can we chat for a moment?" This was the first time Cameron had spoken to Nathalie with such a gentle tone.

Nathalie wasn't having any of it. "That won’t be necessary," she replied, her voice cold and unyielding.

Trying to look sincere, Cameron said, "I just want to apologize."

Nathalie's gaze was icy, cutting right through him. She saw through his facade. "Cameron, you're not here to genuinely apologize. You're just hoping I'll forgive you to help reduce your mom's sentence or maybe even get her off the hook."

Cameron didn't flinch despite being called out. Instead, he seemed relieved, as if he was sure that the kind-hearted Nathalie would help him out.

"Nathalie, my mom was your mother-in-law once. She took care of you. Can't you forgive her because of that connection? Please?"

But Cameron never really understood Nathalie.

In her past life, she might have been someone who lacked principles, and constantly backed down. She experienced heartbreak as a result of kindness and concession, leading to the death of her beloved daughter. In this life, she'd turned proactive and was ready to fight her own battles.

She looked at Cameron, almost gleeful. "Cameron, I wouldn't mind if your mother dropped off the face of the earth. Why would I help her dodge her crimes?"

Cameron turned as white as a sheet. He understood why she hated him, but he couldn't wrap his head around why she despised his mom so much.

"I'm the one who hurt you. Why do you take it out on my mom?"

Nathalie's eyes welled up with tears. "You really think your mom's a saint? She's just a bully of a mother-in-law."

Cameron's mind flashed back to all the times Kristina had subtly and not-so-subtly insulted Nathalie. Kristina always looked down on Nathalie for marrying Cameron without bringing in anything and for not adding any prestige to the family.
