Chapter 139

The following day, Cameron arrived at the registration office bright and early, but despite all his waiting, Nellie

was a no-show.

Matt pondered aloud, "Boss, | reckon Mrs. Dawson isn't really serious about the divorce. Maybe she just wanted

to get a rise out of you by bringing it up, but she never thought you'd actually go along with it. Now she's

probably gone into hiding." Cameron's eyes were shadowed with confusion. He was baffled by Nellie's actions.

She was the one pushing for the divorce, but here she was, not showing up. What was her game?

Instead of Nellie, it was Greta who showed up, bursting out of a cab in a whirlwind of panic. "Cameron, stop

waiting. Nellie... she's not coming."

Cameron smirked, a hint of sarcasm in his voice. "Nellie, you think you can just playlike that?"

Frustrated, he barked orders at Matt, "Go find Nellie and bring her here. This marriage ends today."

"Yes, sir," the assistant replied with determination.

Cameron didn't catch the anxious look in Greta's eyes. Once Matt was out of earshot, Greta confessed,

"Cameron, Nellie is stalling because she found out about our secret..."

Cameron's expression turned stormy. He had always been so careful and never crossed boundaries with Greta for

fear of tarnishing his reputation and ruining his promising future. But a month ago, in a moment of anger

towards Nellie and under the influence of too much alcohol, he had let things go too far with Greta, leaving

behind undeniable evidence of his infidelity.

Greta's health was fragile, and Cameron hadn't wanted her to go through the ordeal of childbirth. However,

Greta pleaded with tears in her eyes to keep the baby, and even the doctor warned that an abortion might make

future pregnancies difficult. In the end, Cameron agreed to keep the child.

He had hoped that by quickly divorcing Nellie, he and Greta could get married fast, and they could pass off any

early birth as premature, hiding his wrongdoing. But he hadn't counted on Nellie being so well-informed. How

had she found out?

For the first time, Cameron harshly scolded Greta, "Why did you let it slip that you were pregnant?"

Greta looked utterly distressed. "Cameron, | didn't tell anyone." Then, a thought struck her, filling her with dread.

"Could it have been her? Fiona? Cameron, Fiona was the only one | told. You know she's my best friend, and we

share everything. | didn't think she'd spill the beans," Greta sobbed, looking heartbroken.

"How could you be so careless with such a sensitive secret?" Cameron's voice was sharp, his frustration boiling

over.

Terrified, Greta kept apologizing, "Cameron, I'm so sorry."

Cameron sighed in despair. "Sorry isn't enough now. We need to shut Nellie down."

Greta added, "She wantsto hand back all the assets you gaveduring your marriage, just like that."

Cameron was taken aback. "She's got snerve. Those assets are mine to give away. Why should | hand them

back?"

Greta looked troubled. "She claims that marrying you brought her no benefits, and she even lost of a kidney. If

we can't find a way to ease her resentment, she'll drag this out and make sure your child is born out of wedlock."

Cameron had never been so cornered, his handsface flushed with anger. But his love for Greta and their

unborn child was too strong, and in the end, he decided to give in.
