Chapter 319

Cameron's lips quivered, and his face went as pale as a ghost. Nathalie's words hit him like a cold splash of water, bringing him back to his senses. Here he was, struggling financially, while Nathalie was living it up in luxury. The stark contrast between their lives left Cameron feeling a bitter sting. He had opened the can of worms by trying to humiliate Nathalie first, and she wasn't about to let him off the hook easily.

"Hiring a cook or nanny usually costs about two grand a month, tops. I'm offering you five grand, plus you'll handle the cleaning, mopping, and laundry. What do you say?" Nathalie proposed, her tone dripping with mockery. Cameron swallowed hard, glaring daggers at her. "You..."

Nathalie shrugged, unfazed. "What? Do you think the pay's beneath you? Cameron, you don't have the skills of a professional chef or any training in housekeeping. The salary I'm offering is actually more than you're worth. But given our past and seeing your current situation, I thought I'd throw you a bone. If your pride can't handle it, then forget it."

She twisted the knife further. "Soon enough, you might struggle to even find a job that pays five grand a month. Don't come crawling back to me because I won't give a damn about the old days."

The humiliation was raw and unfiltered. Cameron was seething, but he had started this mess, so he couldn't really complain.

With the pantry bare, Nathalie ordered a spread of gourmet ingredients and exotic fruits online. Her choices, like the pricey king crab, only made the Browns' dwindling lifestyle look even more pitiful.
