Reborn From Oblivion

Chapter 29



Cameron came back to the Capital all by himself. When Griffin found out that Nellie hadn't come back with Cameron, he was absolutely livid. He unleashed his fury on Cameron. "I told you not to marry Nellie, but you went ahead anyway just to save your old flame. Now that you're married, you ought to make things work with Nellie and support each other like a proper couple should. Sure, Nellie's family background isn't great, but she's sweet and respectful, and we've accepted her. But you just had to get tangled up with her sister... You've really broken Nellie's heart. Is that why she wouldn't come back home with you?" Griffin's anger only intensified. "If Nellie doesn't come back, there's no point in you going to the Dawson family's annual banquet. It'll just spark gossip."

Griffin's wife Kristina was shaken. "Honey, Cameron will bring Nellie back. Just give him a little time."

Cameron was the only heir of the Dawson family, but that was only if he could keep the Dawson family business afloat. If he couldn't, a slew of illegitimate heirs might pop up to replace him. This was why Kristina was so worried about Griffin potentially barring Cameron from the banquet.

She tried to persuade Cameron. "Cameron, this year's event is a big deal. Our family is teaming up with the Rowland and McCoy families for a major alliance event. You have to go as the Dawson heir and meet the elders from the other two families. Once you get their approval, your career will take off. Cameron, you must do whatever it takes to get Nellie back."

Suddenly, Cameron opened the door, looking utterly defeated. "Mom, Nellie is missing."

Kristina was stunned and ready to scold Cameron, but noticing his downcast expression, she held back.

Griffin kicked Cameron hard in the stomach, but Cameron didn't resist. Filled with distress, Griffin said, "How can you be such a lousy husband? Your wife's been missing, and you just found out? You idiot, do you know what kind of disaster this could mean for you and the Dawson family?"

"We can't let the media find out you mistreated Nellie. Remember, whatever caused Nellie to disappear can't be pinned on you."

Cameron opened his mouth, wanting to defend Nellie, but thought about his future and stayed silent.

Kristina chimed in, "You always have too much compassion. Let me handle this."

A few days later.

The internet exploded with stories about Mrs. Dawson allegedly having an affair and running off overseas with another man. Meanwhile, Mr. Dawson, in an attempt to win her back, humbled himself to chase after her, only for Mrs. Dawson to firmly abandon the heartbroken Mr. Dawson, who returned home in despair.

The reports painted Nellie as someone completely irresponsible in love, fickle, and flirtatious. On the other hand, Cameron was depicted as a devoted husband, madly in love with his wife. The media described how Cameron, despite immense family pressure, married the 'Cinderella' Nellie, showered her with care, and even extended his kindness to Nellie's gravely ill sister.

The report included a snapshot of Cameron's plane ticket and photos of him tenderly caring for Greta.

On social media, Greta was quick to like and share the post, seemingly confirming the report's authenticity.

Public sympathy swung heavily in Cameron's favor, while Nellie faced a torrent of harsh criticism. Unaware of the full story, netizens bashed Nellie relentlessly.

[Oh my gosh, marrying Cameron is like hitting the jackpot! He's such an amazing husband. She doesn't even appreciate him. How could she cheat on him? Does she have no shame?]

[Even her own sister is stepping up to tear her apart, which just shows how awful her character must be. She deserves whatever happened to her.]
