Chapter 142
Cameron’s silence only gave the reporters the perfect opening to start spinning their tales. “So, are you silently admitting to this relationship?” one asked eagerly.
*The word is your wife has wanted a divorce for ages now. but, you’ve been stalling. Why the sudden change of heart? Is there some hidden secret?”
Greta wobbled, almost hitting the ground, but Cameron was quick as a flash. He caught her and then let go.
“I didn’t push for a divorce before because I worried Nellie couldn’t make it on her own. Now, I’m just worn out from her antics. It’s a reluctant decision.”
“Seems like Cameron isn’t as cold–hearted towards Miss Nellie as everyone thinks,” another reporter commented.
Cameron managed to keep up his good husband image, a slight smile playing on his lips.
Mid–interview, a red Volkswagen rolled up and parked right in front of Cameron’s fancy Rolls–Royce. The contrast was stark–one screamed luxury, the other, simplicity.
The wealth gap between Cameron and Nellie was painfully obvious. People murmured,
“How can Nellie possibly stand up to Camer? She’s got no chance,” they sighed.
Cameron mused to himself, “She’s brought this on herself…”
Before he could finish his thought, the car door swung open and out stepped Nellie and Wade, side by side.
“Is that Nellie’s lawyer? Did she really hire one? Does this mean her chances are better?”
“Doesn’t matter. Their legal team is the best money can buy. How could a girl from the slums afford a lawyer to match theirs?”
Greta’s smile was as warm as a spring breeze.
Nellie and Wade walked over, and the crowd instinctively parted for them. Nellie greeted the reporters, “Feel free to ask me anything today. I’m holding nothing back.”
The reporters swarmed away from the reticent Cameron to Nellie, firing off questions. “Ms. Nellie, do you honestly think you can win this lawsuit?”
Nellie replied confidently, “I won’t lose.”
“What makes you so sure?” Cameron scoffed, just loud enough for her to hear.
Nellie shot him a look dripping with contempt. “Because good always triumphs over evil.”
With that, Nellie and Wade made their way into the courtroom.
Cameron, head down, trailed behind them. His legal team started whispering urgently, and

then the lead lawyer, clearly flustered, rushed to Cameron and whispered, “Mr. Dawson, if I’m not mistaken, Nellie’s lawyer is none other than the famous Mr. Wade.”
Cameron squinted, “Mr. Wade?”
The name did ring a bell.
“He’s a legend in the legal world, known as the ultimate debater. He’s famous for making the impossible happen in every case he’s taken on.”
Cameron chuckled dismissively. “You’ve got to be kidding. If Nellie had the money to hire such a top–notch lawyer, why would she bother fighting over the divorce settlement with me?”
But when court convened, Cameron got the surprise of his life.
The judge himself couldn’t help but show respect upon seeing Mr. Wade. “Mr. Wade, it’s a privilege to witness your legendary skills here…”
Hearing their exchange left Cameron totally stunned. His mind went completely blank.
