Chapter 211

Cameron dropped by to see Patrick, and in just a month, the man had aged dramatically-his hair had turned grey, and deep wrinkles carved his face. He looked like someone well into his later years, utterly worn out. Cameron actually felt no sympathy. His only worry was for Greta and how crushed she would be if she saw Patrick like this.

"I'll find a way to get you out, but you need to tell me everything. I need the truth," Cameron said, all business-like.

Tears streamed down Patrick's face. "Cameron, I didn't assault Lizzy. Nathalie set me up. Lizzy was in on it with her."

Hearing about the attempted assault charges against Patrick for the first time, Cameron was shocked, and his view of Nathalie took another hit. "But she's your daughter. How could she accuse you like this? Isn't she worried about ruining herself, too?" "I tried to tell her that if I got caught up in a scandal, it would affect her and any future kids. But she said she'd never marry or have children."
