Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 263

She once told Nathan to be a man of integrity, but what about her? She was the embodiment of double-dealing and malice. Would Nathan be let down by her actions? Nathalie awkwardly turned her head, avoiding Nathan's eyes. Greta couldn't help but gloat. "Nathalie, you're destined for a rough ending with your wicked ways."

Nathalie met her gaze with calm resolve. "Have I ever gotten anything good in return?"

Her life was a string of betrayals. Her father left her when she was just a baby. Her mother abused her. Cameron lied to her. Greta used her and then stomped all over her.

In her previous life, she didn't commit any wrongs, yet she suffered and met an unjust end. Why should she be good in this life? Those who couldn't reach her would eventually become the weapons she'd use to fight back. The only wild card was Nathan. He was the one person she wanted to be genuine with.

Greta sensed Nathalie's vulnerability. She knew how to hit where it hurt. She kept pressing Nathan, "Mr. Nathan, trust me, Nathalie isn't as good as she seems. If you stick around, she'll turn on you. Best to keep your distance."

Nathan tuned out Greta's ramblings entirely. His eyes stayed locked on Nathalie, and the despair in her eyes made his heart ache. He could feel the hopelessness beneath her burning hatred. Had she not been so deeply hurt, would she have risked her reputation just to drag Cameron and the others down?
