Chapter 49

Nellie was at a loss for words. Greta had texted her using Cameron's phone-what was she trying to pull off here? Was she trying to show off how much Cameron doted on her? Seriously? Was she actually playing the fragile damsel while plotting every move? What a joke. Cameron might fall for her act, and her parents might too, but Nellie sure wouldn't. [Why're you using my husband's phone to text me? Are you trying to show off your 'innocent charm,' Greta? Besides Cameron enjoying your drama, no one else can stand that toxicity.] After firing off the message, Nellie felt fed up and tossed her phone aside. She wrapped herself up in her blankets and drifted off to sleep.

Greta was taken aback by Nellie's bold and unapologetic sarcasm. She never thought the usually quiet Nellie would clap back so fiercely, using such cutting words.

All Greta wanted was for Nellie to realize that Cameron truly loved her and to back off. She figured Nellie would just swallow her pride like always, but she didn't expect this kind of pushback.

Greta immediately played the victim with Cameron, crying, "Cameron, how could my sister humiliate me like this? I was just trying to invite her to my celebration party."

Cameron's face darkened as he read the message. "She's upset about not landing a mentor and is taking it out on you. I'm really disappointed in Nellie. If she wants to blame someone, it should be me."

Greta, looking distressed, said, "What should we do? Is my sister really mad at me? Cameron, she's my only sister, and she once saved my life. I don't want any bad blood between us. Maybe you could take me to apologize to her?"
