Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 73

Nellie couldn't help but chuckle. "Once I've sorted everything out, I'll be there."

Nathan was thrilled. "I'll be waiting."

The banquet went off without a hitch. In the past, the Rowland family's gatherings mostly involved business folks. But this time, it was a whole different vibe, with political and cultural icons making an appearance. These were the big shots you didn’t usually see mingling with the business crowd, yet they held the purse strings to the industry's economy. It was like a perfect blend of highbrow and lowbrow, cleansing the usual hustle and bustle with a touch of class.

The business tycoons were bending over backward to get on good terms with them. Meanwhile, the friends Benjamin had invited seemed to switch sides, cozying up to Nathan one by one. Benjamin and Paige were left out in the cold, fuming.

In one corner, Mason and Nathan’s father Andrew stood amidst the crowd. Andrew looked none too pleased.

Mason grinned, "Benjamin went all out to give Nathan a hard time but didn't count on him having such strong allies. His plans have backfired. Maybe he'll think twice next time."

Andrew scoffed, "Nathan's not just a Rowland kid; he's also from the McCoy family. He’s got way more resources than Benjamin. But if you’re talking talent, he might give Nathan a run for his money. Let's see how the talent show goes; he might just pull off a comeback."

"Let's see," Mason replied.

During the talent show, Benjamin gave a stunning piano performance and nailed it, but Nathan didn't even bother to step on stage.

Feeling let down and annoyed, Benjamin cornered Nathan, asking, "Why didn't you perform?"
