Reborn From Oblivion

When Nathan popped the question, his eyes, as deep and mysterious as a peach blossom, locked onto Nathalie's, carrying a hint of unease. She hesitated, unsure of how to break the news to him. Her heart ached for Nathan. Even though he had severed ties with the Rowland family, they were still trying every trick in the book to pull him back into turmoil. The Rowlands had always been harsh to him. She just couldn't bring herself to tell him the whole truth. "Honestly, it's nothing big. Maybe your Maple Company has them cornered, so they're trying to use me to get to you," she said, trying to lighten the blow.

Nathan's bright eyes dimmed with a layer of sadness. "What exactly do they plan to do?" His gaze was sharp, making it impossible for her to lie.

Nathalie looked at him helplessly, her heart full of pity. She held his face gently, whispering, "Nathan, whatever they do, don't get angry or upset. It's not worth it. Just remember, I love you, and that's what matters." Nathan was taken aback for a moment, then his smile broke out like a field of blooming wildflowers. He hugged Nathalie. "So you do care about me." He had been worried, afraid she might easily trust Benjamin. Nathalie replied, "If I don't care about you, who else will?"

After dealing with a harrowing "kidnapping", Nathalie was exhausted and turned in early for the night. Meanwhile, Nathan, after ensuring she was sound asleep, stood up from his wheelchair with surprising ease and walked outside. No sign of injury held him back. At the Rowland family estate, a black sedan slipped in like a shadow, parking in the open-air lot. The driver cheekily honked the horn, sending a sharp noise that jolted everyone awake. Soon, the once-dark building flickered with lights.

Footsteps hurriedly converged on the main hall from all directions. Someone reached the hall first, flicking on the spotlight that instantly flooded the hall and garden with bright light, chasing away the night and revealing everything.

Benjamin, eyes bloodshot, glared at the newcomer, gritting his teeth. "Nathan, you've got the nerve to come back?"

Nathan shot him a look of cold disdain, clearly feeling that conversing with him was a waste of time, and stood waiting for something.

Before long, Gayin, Myla, and Masonnoveldrama

showed up. Gavin had never been fond of Nathan, especially after Nathan's recent maneuvering had pushed the Rowland family to the brink of bankruptcy. Seeing Nathan, Gavin was enraged. "Nathan, who said you could come back?"

Nathan casually glanced around the estate, "I heard my mom designed every building here? Built by drivers and workers, and even the treasures here are dowries from our McCoy family?"

Gavin erupted, "That's ridiculous. I gave your mom a ten million dowry."

Nathan looked at the agitated Gavin

with disdain. "Hmph, twenty years ago, this villa was worth hundreds of millions, right? Ten million for a dowry, a billion in assets, and yet you have the audacity to live offa woman and still act proud. Anyone with self-respect would be ashamed to live here. But not you, even bringing in a mistress and an

illegitimate child."

Nathan's face suddenly hardened, "Living off a woman, and you had the gall to kick me out of the estate. Aren't you afraid of karma?"

The mention of "karma" was delivered with a chilling, sinister smile that sent shivers down the spine.
