Chapter 131
"What do you mean? Wasn't it because you just had a kidney donation surgery, and your health was so poor that
you were forced to terminate it?"
Nellie's face twisted into a dark, sinister smile. "You're really full of yourself. Cameron, the real reason is... she
was your child. | couldn't stand the thought of her carrying your filthy blood. | was worried she'd inherit your bad
genes... and even more terrified that she'd keeptied to you forever, like a stubborn piece of gum on my
shoe."
Cameron felt a chill run down his spine, his self-delusions crumbling under Nellie's blunt words. His voice shook
uncontrollably. "Nellie, did you really hatethat much from the start?"
"If you weren't so arrogant, you'd have realized long ago that | don't have an ounce of affection left for you."

"Nellie... | only took one kidney from you. And it was a donation you volunteered for. You can't hold that against
me."
Nellie rolled her eyes. "Cameron, I'm not blaming you. I'm blaming myself. | was blind, both in heart and mind,
for not seeing through your deceitful facade."
The word "deceit" hit Cameron like a punch to the gut. He hadn't expected her to see him as such a lowlife.
Cameron scrambled to explain, "Nellie, you've got it all wrong. | married you with honest intentions. As long as
you don't file for divorce, you'll always be my wife ... my promise stands."
"Your wife" Nellie laughed bitterly. "This so-called Mrs. Dawson is the biggest joke in town. I'm tagged with the
Dawson family nbut without the perks-no luxury, no comfort of a shared bed. Even when | was sick and
needed money, | had to go through your assistant. Cameron, did you ever truly seeas your wife?"
Cameron's face flushed with shame.
"Nel, | admit | was thoughtless. From now on, I'll give you a credit card and a monthly allowance. You won't have
to go through Matt anymore..."
"Cameron, it's too late." Nellie's voice turned sharp. "You know how maddening it is to be stuck with someone
you don't love."
Cameron felt an emptiness creeping through his veins but pressed on. "Nellie, we won't get divorced. I'll make it
up to you..." Tears glinted in Nellie's eyes. "Cameron, I'll make you begfor a divorce."
Nellie hung up.
To her, Cameron was nothing but an enemy. There was no chance she'd reconcile or help his company out of its
mess.

A sly, wicked smile crept across Nellie's face. She opened her laptop, compiled her divorce saga with videos and
photos, and posted it all over social media with the caption: [A marriage rotten to the core, should've ended ages
ago...] With a sense of finality, she hit send. Then, she shut off her phone, climbed into bed, and slept like a
baby.
Cameron had tossed and turned all night, plagued by insomnia. It was well past noon when he finally woke up,
jolted by a sharp slap. His eyes flew open to find his family gathered around his bed, their faces etched with
seriousness. Cameron frowned, puzzled. "What are you all doing here?"
"Oh, Cameron, how can you be sleeping at a tlike this? Do you have any idea what's happening? It's like the
world is ending," Kristina said, panic evident in her voice.
"What happened?" A sense of dread washed over Cameron as he picked up on Kristina's urgency.
His sister's voice trembled, "Cam, you need to check today's trending topics."
