Reborn From Oblivion -
Chapter 229
"I heard you're about to sell your house? I'm actually looking for a villa, so I thought I'd swing by."
Cameron was taken aback, staring at Nathan in disbelief. It was hard not to think that Nathalie and Nathan had orchestrated this whole thing and set him up.
"Nathalie went through all this trouble to hand over Timeless Cycle to me. Just as I'm about to sell the house to gather some funds, here you are. Nathan, did you both plan this?" Cameron couldn't hide his irritation. Nathan met his gaze with a bold grin. "Yep."
Cameron was fuming. "Get lost. I'm not selling it to you," Cameron snapped.
Nathan, however, remained calm and composed, the embodiment of gentle persuasion. "No one else would dare take your house. Haven't you heard? Your father's already blacklisted it."
Cameron felt paralyzed. He never imagined he'd be on the opposite side of his father's wrath.
Nathan went on, "You're a man who values your reputation. If you don't repay what you owe Nathalie, I'll have no choice but to let everyone know about your shady dealings."
Cameron, who always prided himself on his business integrity, knew that being labeled unreliable would be his downfall in the industry.
Caught between Griffin's pressure and Nathan's persistence, he finally gave in, "Fine, I'll hand over the house to you."
Nathan was ready to keep things rolling. "Why not take care of it today?"
Cameron nodded, resigned.
At the registry office, the whole transfer process dragged on for an hour and a half before all the paperwork was done. Even though Cameron got a hefty sum for the house, he couldn't muster any joy.
Nathan's seemingly kind demeanor had a sharp edge. "Please arrange to move out soon. I'd like to settle in." Cameron scowled, "I will."
He trudged home, feeling defeated
Greta walked over gracefully and sat beside him. "Cameron, you've been looking a bit off lately. Is work wearing you out?"
But Cameron dropped a bombshell. "Greta, start packing. We'll need to leave here soon." "Why?" Greta's eyes widened in shock.
"I sold the house to Nathan."
Greta didn't hide her frustration. "Where are we going to live?"
Cameron replied, "I've got an apartment downtown. We'll make do there for now."
Greta, clearly upset, fell silent.
Cameron was too drained to deal with her mood. He just flopped onto the couch.
In a hushed voice, Greta asked, "Cameron, have you ever doubted Nathalie? She's behind everything that's happened to us." Cameron, eyes shut, replied lazily, "We owe her."
Greta burst out, "All I needed was a kidney from her. A top-notch kidney doesn't cost more than a few
million. You married her, let her live as Mrs Dawson for years-isn't that worth more than a few million? We don't owe her anymore."
Cameron's eyes shot open. What Greta said might not have bothered him before, but today, it hit a nerve.
He asked coolly, "Greta, do you really think we owe her nothing?"
Greta blurted, "Of course."
But realizing the implications of
Cameron's question, she quickly backtracked. "Well, she did do me a favor. But she's always used that to hold us hostage. I just think she's too greedy."
