Chapter 272

Cameron immediately let go of her hand.

After Nathalie called the police, she kicked back in her chair, looking as relaxed as if she were on vacation.

Greta was in a panic. "Cameron, what are we going to do? She's called the cops!"

Cameron stayed cool as a cucumber. "Nathalie, I was planning to go easy on you. But if you're looking for trouble, I'm happy to oblige. Remember, you were the one who hurt Greta first. Even if the police show up, they're taking you away, not me." Nathalie shot a glance at the surveillance camera in the corner. "Cameron, let's see how this plays out."

Greta didn't want things to spiral out of control, so she put on her best innocent face and said to Cameron, "Cameron, let's just let this go. Sure, Nathalie pushed me, but you also hurt her. Let's call it even."

Cameron put on a show of magnanimity to avoid any more drama. "Since your sister is begging me to forgive you, Nathalie, I'll let it slide. You can go."
