Reborn From Oblivion

Nathalie's free-spirited lifestyle was driving Greta up the wall with jealousy.

Instead of looking inward, she tried to guilt Cameron into taking some blame: "Cameron, look at what a monster you've created! She's so full of herself, acting like she's above everyone else. It's maddening!"

Cameron, calm and composed, corrected her, "You're wrong. It's not me spoiling her, it's the support from Nathan and Lincoln that gives her that confidence."

Greta was caught off guard, her voice dripping with envy, "She's certainly got it good."

Cameron shot her a look, "If you're jealous, find your own support. I won't hold you back."

Greta touched her swollen cheek, reminded of when Nathalie had called her ugly, which only deepened her insecurity. She knew, given her situation, that Cameron was her best shot at stability. She softened her approach, "Cameron, what are you saying? We're childhood friends; our love should come first."

But the anger in her eyes gave away her dissatisfaction. Her determination to climb higher and push Nathalie back down was only growing stronger.

At Stewart Enterprises, Nathalie sashayed down the hallway in her high heels, radiating confidence as she headed to the conference room.

The staff greeted her warmly, "Ms. Stewart, you look amazing today."

Nathalie playfully responded, "I dress like this just for you all. With such a sight to behold, you'd better not think about leaving. You'd miss out on this beauty."

The employees appreciated her down-to-earth vibe and genuinely liked her easygoing nature.

"Don't worry, Ms. Stewart, we're dedicated to making the Stewart family the biggest and the best."

Nathalie quipped, "If you help make the Stewart family one of the top, I'll matchmake each one of you."

Laughter filled the hallway.

But once back in her office, Nathalie's smile disappeared.

A sense of sadness washed over her eyes.

Seated at her computer, she quietly powered it on and accessed Maple

Company's internal network to check on their finances.

When she saw the endless zeroes in the account, Nathalie's expression changed completely.

She counted the zeroes-eleven in total. clutched her chest

"No wonder it's a life sentence," she murmured weakly.

After regaining her composure, she called Officer Baldwin.

As he answered, Nathalie's voice shook, "Officer Baldwin, I need to know how much No. 13 really owes."

Officer Baldwin replied, "Over three hundred billion."

Nathalie's eyes widened, "How much?"

"Over three hundred billion?"

Counting the zeroes again, she hesitantly asked, "If No. 13 pays back this sum, can the sentence be reduced?"

"Yes."

"Thank you, Officer Baldwin."

"Anytime. If you have more questions, just reach out!" Officer Baldwin said warmly.

After hanging up, Nathalie sat at her computer, diving into the origins of this massive sum.
