Chapter 128
Nellie’s downfall was her own greed, throwing her completely off balance. After snagging the title of Mrs. Dawson, she still wanted
more.
What did Cameron do wrong?
Nellie was born into luck but acted like she couldn’t see it and was asking for a divorce. Did she forget that without him, nobody would know who she was? Who would even notice her?
Cameron was sure that once they divorced, Nellie would end up right back where she started, struggling to get by.
“Nellie, you’re going to regret this,” he thought, almost picturing her in tears, begging him to take her back. He felt a twisted sense of satisfaction in that image.
Greta showed up out of nowhere, spotting the divorce papers without making a sound.
Cameron, my sister must have gotten some wise advice. Her push–and–pull game is on another level now,” she said.
Cameron stared at Greta, bewildered. “You think she’s just playing hard to get?”
Even his massive ego couldn’t protect him from the mountain of evidence Nellie had gathered against him or her public airing of his dirty laundry.
“Greta, I’ve really lost Nellie,” he admitted.
Greta replied, “My sister’s being foolish. Once she leaves you, she won’t find anyone better. She’ll end up regretting this big time.”
Suddenly, Cameron pulled Greta into a hug, his affection spilling over. “Greta, I’ve put you through so much. But now that I’m divorcing Nellie, I can finally love you openly.”
Greta, overwhelmed with joy, cried, “Cameron, Nellie’s just driven you crazy. But I’m thrilled to be of use…”
Cameron, touched, reassured her, “It’s not about using you, Greta. I’ve always held back. I really do love you.”
They embraced tightly, and Cameron no longer hid his affection for Greta. They started showing up at public events together and traveling. They were practically glued to each other, clearly a couple in love.
Cameron even swapped out his wedding ring for a couple’s ring that matched with Greta’s, flaunting it proudly in front of the media.
Their story caused quite a stir.
Cameron’s friends rallied around the couple, congratulating them for sticking together through thick and thin. “Wow, childhood sweethearts overcame everything–if that’s not true love, what is?”
Greta was so happy she needed something to fill her time. She cooked up a drama, creating an online account to slam Cameron: [Cheating while married, isn’t Cameron scared of karma?]
Then, Greta leaked Nellie’s divorce petition, adding, “Divorce settled.”
She fueled an online frenzy against Nellie. Insults were flying: [Oh my gosh, she was just a nobody from the slums until Cameron picked her up. He gave her everything, and now she turns her nose up at him. Such ingratitude!]
[Praying for karma to catch this ungrateful woman.]
[It’s clear she’s from the bottom rung, inside and out. Cameron is better off without her. Does she think she can find someone better than him? She’ll come crawling back one day, begging for forgiveness. And when she does, Cameron better not give in.]
