Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 1030

They’d thought it was just a matter of going with the flow, riding the trending topic for all it was worth, never imagining that the story’s source would turn out to be the Sharp family itself. If anyone with an agenda picked it up, who knew how many wild stories would start flying—two generations of Sharps coming down on Vivian was a recipe for endless rumors and misunderstandings.

Lady Sharp, her confidence clearly shaken, turned anxiously to the staff. “Has the plaintiff actually filed a case? If not, I’d like to talk things out, maybe reach a settlement.”

“The case hasn’t officially been filed yet,” the staff member said, “but the plaintiff is furious. She’s made it clear—no mediation, no deals.”

Lady Sharp’s posture sagged, the years suddenly weighing heavy on her.

Jules quickly stepped in to comfort her. “Mother, at least we know Vivian. Her father and I go way back. I’ll reach out to them—see if they’ll give you some grace…”

Lady Sharp’s face, once so dignified, looked hollow, as if all the strength and pride had drained from her. She’d spent her whole life commanding respect, and now, at the end, she was facing public disgrace.

She nodded weakly, then seemed to catch a glimmer of hope. “Wait—find Nathan. He and Vivian are close. If Nathan asks, Ashley will have to listen.” Her clouded eyes brightened for a moment, almost like a child’s.

Jules turned to the officer, pleading, “My mother’s not young anymore. Could you give us a little time? We’ll contact the plaintiff right away, try to get a letter of forgiveness.”

The officer hesitated.

Sensing his uncertainty, Jules tried again, “Just an hour. Give us one hour, and after that, we’ll go to the station ourselves. Officer, my mother only did this to break up her son’s marriage—she meant no real harm. You know how parents are.”

But the officer shook his head. “The plaintiff is pregnant. The whole scandal has put her under a lot of stress—there’s even talk of a threatened miscarriage. She won’t agree to mediation.”

Lady Sharp’s face went ashen.

She’d only just seen Nathalie—less than a day ago. Their last encounter had been a showdown, both parting ways still seething. Now Nathalie was claiming her pregnancy was at risk? It felt like a setup. But what proof did she have?

Even so, Lady Sharp kept her cool. Denying it now would only make her look worse in front of the officer.
