Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 301

In that moment, Nathalie's mind went completely blank. She let go of all her worries about the world and clung tightly to Nathan. With a strength she didn't know she had. Her petite frame pushed through the crowd, dragging him away from the chaos.

The shouts of Nathalie's ex-in-laws filled her ears. Kristina's voice was raw and piercing as she screamed furiously, "I've been married to you for thirty years, gave you my wealth, my time, my energy, all without hesitation. And what do I have to show for it? Your betrayal. I could forgive you for leaving me with nothing, but you went too far by scheming against our son. You made him pave the way for your illegitimate child, then kicked him out of the company. How could you be so heartless?"

Griffin looked panicked, his voice shaking as he spoke. "Please, don't do anything reckless. Listen to me. Cameron is my son, too. How could I possibly do that to him? Don't worry, I'll give Cameron a lot of money. With his smarts, he'll bounce back in the Capital." Griffin's mixed messages drove Kristina to despair. "But you promised Dawson International would always belong to Cameron. And now you're talking about starting fresh? You've been lying to me..."

With no trust left in Griffin, she hurled the sulfuric acid she held. It splashed onto Griffin and his current wife, sizzling on contact. Griffin screamed in agony. Inevitably, some guests were also caught in the crossfire, crying out in pain as the acid splattered on them. In an instant, the dance floor turned into a nightmare, filled with gut-wrenching screams.

Nathalie couldn't afford to worry about the injured guests; she was focused on getting Nathan to the car outside.

Half an hour later, Nathalie had Nathan at the hospital. The doctor removed Nathan's shirt to assess his injuries.
