Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 1050

"I was absolutely furious—no way was I going to walk away with nothing. But your mother had the upper hand. She threatened to go public with a stash of photos showing me and my old flame together, all very suggestive. If I didn’t agree to her terms, she’d put them out there for the world to see.

I kept telling myself there was nothing between me and her, that we were innocent—nothing that couldn’t be explained. I wasn’t about to let your mother blackmail me. And, honestly, I still cared about this family. I didn’t want to end things with a divorce.

But your mother had made up her mind. When I kept dragging my feet, she released those photos of me and my old flame coming and going together. Suddenly, my so-called clean conscience didn’t matter. I’d forgotten how ruthless the internet can be. Total strangers, egged on by your mother’s narrative, tore into me online. They called me a cheater, a scumbag. My old flame got it even worse—they labeled her a homewrecker, said she broke up our family.

The gossip was everywhere. Some people even showed up at my door, throwing eggs, blocking my way, shouting that I was the worst kind of traitor. They said I’d used your mother to get ahead, and the moment I succeeded, I kicked her aside.

I figured the insults would pass, but as long as I didn’t divorce your mother, she kept fanning the flames, stirring up more and more hate. I couldn’t handle it anymore. My old flame and her kid were suffering too—they couldn’t even step outside without being hounded. With pressure closing in on all sides, I finally gave in. I agreed to the divorce.

But your mother insisted I leave with nothing. That stung. After all, I built Vincent Corporation from the ground up. Sure, she bailed us out when things got tough, but seeing everything fall into her lap felt like the ultimate betrayal. She got all the rewards for my hard work.
