"Because I''m your sister, Nathalie," Greta said, clutching Nathalie''s hand like she was a lifeline. At that moment, Nathalie was her beacon of hope. But Nathalie just coolly pushed her hand away, and Greta noticed her expression was colder than she''d ever seen.


    "Why are you here?" Greta finally asked, the realization dawning on her.


    With a disdainful look, Nathalie replied, "I''m here to let you know Dad''s noting back."


    The weight of those words hit Greta like a ton of bricks. She deted, "What do you mean?"


    "He''s been locked up for breaking thew," Nathalie said.


    Without Patrick''s protection these past few days, Greta had been struggling. The news that her supposed savior wouldn''t return was crushing.


    "What did he do?" she pleaded, holding Nathalie''s hand, her pride slipping away. "Tell me, what did he do?"


    Nathalie gazed into her eyes like she was searching for something, her focus unyielding. "He tried to rape Lizzy and injured Nathan," Nathalie said, glossing over the details.


    Greta went pale as a ghost."That can''t be true. Dad would never stoop so low," she insisted.


    Nathalie kept silent, a knowing smile teasing her lips. She could''ve told Greta it was just an attempt, but she let Greta stew in her own worry.


    "He''s noting back, Greta. What are you going to do now?" Nathalie asked with mock sympathy.


    Nathalie used her calm tone, but Greta caught the hint of mockery. "It was you, wasn''t it? You set him up! Don''t forget, Cameron is my husband. He''ll bring Dad back," Greta shot back, her confidence showing.

    "Absolutely," Greta said, full of herself.


    Nathalie toyed with her nails, her words as sharp as her gaze. "Do you know who Dad hurt?"


    Greta recalled Nathalie''s mention of "Nathan." She hadn''t linked themon name to the prestigious Nathan Rond.


    "Anyone tied up with you must be some nobody," she scoffed.


    Nathalie''s lips curled into a teasing grin. "Nathan, as in Nathan Rond."


    Greta was blindsided.
