Chapter 273

Cameron looked at the surveillance and watched Greta hit the ground. He watched himself storm over to Nathalie and, without a second thought, slapped her hard.

Cameron's face turned sour as if he'd just swallowed something rotten. His earlier bravado vanished in a heartbeat. He stared at Greta, utterly shocked.

Greta, avoiding his eyes, looked anywhere but at him.

Annoyed, Nathalie snapped at both Cameron and Greta, "You two are a couple of loose cannons."

The officer shook his head, equally frustrated, "Cameron, as you can see, your wife tried to frame Nathalie. Yet you went ahead and hit her without knowing the facts. Now Nathalie is pressing assault charges, and we have no choice but to take you in." With hard evidence against him, Cameron had nothing to say. He glared at Greta, his usual gentle gaze now tinged with disappointment. "Greta, why would you do that?"

Terrified by his cold stare, Greta dropped to her knees and slapped herself, tears streaming down her face. "Cameron, I'm sorry, I've dragged you into this mess."

"I never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted Nathalie to get a taste of her own medicine, to feel what it's like to be wrongly accused. I honestly thought she'd change her ways, but it all backfired."

Ah, so that was what happened. Cameron's icy demeanor thawed just a little. He helped Greta up, with a hint of resignation, "Greta, I don't blame you. You were just trying to defend me."
