Chapter 348
“Nathalie, risking your life for someone like him just isn’t worth it. Trust me, his glory days are numbered. Guys who climb to the top by stepping over their own family always end up crashing hard,” Nathan reassured her.
Cameron couldn’t believe what he was hearing. Nathalie was willing to risk everything, even her life, to take him down. It sent shivers down his spine.
“Nathalie, did you provoke me on purpose? Were you trying to make me kill you so I’d face the consequences?” he asked, incredulous. Tears glistened in Nathalie’s eyes, but when she glared at Cameron, she looked like a warrior ready to sacrifice for a cause. She didn’t hold back her intentions, sighing, “Yeah, why didn’t you just strangle me? Then you’d have been a murderer, and I’d get my revenge.” Cameron shook his head, horrified. “You’re insane. I only took your kidney, and now you’re out to ruin my life and take it, too? That’s just crazy.”
Nathalie trembled with anger. “You deserve the harshest punishment.”
Sensing how worked up Nathalie was, Nathan stepped in between them. He turned to Cameron with anger. “Cameron, this hate doesn’t come without a reason. You’ve wronged Nathalie in ways you can’t even imagine. If you want to know why she despises you so much, look into Timeless Cycle.”
Then, he took Nathalie and left.
As Nathan walked away, Cameron mulled over his words. He sensed there was more to his story with Nathalie than he knew.
Cameron rushed home and drove like a madman. Once there, he tore through every inch of his penthouse closet, searching for Timeless Cycle, but found nothing. Desperate, he checked Greta’s closet and finally found it in her jewelry box.
He stood there, stunned.
Why was Timeless Cycle in Greta’s jewelry box? Had she been using it without telling him? Why hadn’t she come clean? Cameron felt like things weren’t going the way he’d planned.
With Timeless Cycle in hand, he left for his company–provided apartment. To avoid interruptions, he put his phone on airplane mode and locked the door tight.
Sprawled on the couch, he absent–mindedly traced his fingers over Timeless Cycle, replaying scenes with Nathalie in his mind like a fast–forwarded movie.
When he first brought Nathalie home, she used to watched him with such admiration. When had that changed to coldness and distance?
He had ignored her for so long that he didn’t even know what had sparked her hatred.
He gripped Timeless Cycle tightly and wondered if it held the answers he needed. He thought and thought but found no answers, eventually drifting off into sleep.
As soon as he closed his eyes, dreams took over. In the dream, despite Nellie’s resistance and the emotional whirlwind of meeting her father and sister, Cameron had still brought Greta to her.
Greta seemed happy, chatting away and holding Nellie’s hand. Her voice was soft and gentle, and she appeared unusually kind to Nellie. Cameron thought reuniting the sisters was a good idea, believing it wouldn’t hurt Nellie.
