Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 411

Greta was steaming. "Do you really think you can be so generous?"

Nathalie glanced around, seizing the moment to make her point. "Cameron's now a big shot at Rowland Corporation, making a pretty penny. So why are you still stuck in a rental?"

Greta found herself sucked into Nathalie's narrative. "Cameron doesn't have money. He only gets paid a dollar a month. How could he possibly buy a house?"

Nathalie reacted like she'd heard the wildest story ever. "A dollar a month? And you believe that? That's just a trick to stash away his assets. Honestly, if Cameron's hiding his salary, how much could he really care about you? After all these years, where do you stand with him?"

A chill ran through Greta's heart. She'd always thought the one-dollar salary was bizarre, but Nathalie's insight hit her hard, making her realize Cameron might be keeping secrets.

It also explained why he hadn't been around much lately. He was keeping his distance on purpose.

The pain Greta felt was overwhelming when she finally acknowledged this.

Right then, Cameron called. "Greta, I've got a work thing tonight. I won't be home."

Greta was already worn out by Cameron's coldness. She’s not one to hold back her feelings, and erupted, "It's always something! You didn't visit when I was in the hospital. I finally get to come home today, and you're still MIA. Cameron, if you're done with us, just say it. Stop leading me on..."

"Are you saying you want a divorce?" Cameron's voice was eerily calm.

Greta froze, tears of bitterness rolling down her cheeks. "What's the difference between what we have now and being divorced?"

Cameron stayed silent for what felt like forever.

Fuelled by his emotional detachment, Greta shouted again, "Do you really want a divorce?"

Cameron didn't answer.

"Don't be ridiculous. I told you, I'm working for someone else now. I'm stuck with obligations. My time isn't mine anymore..."
