Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron)

Cameron, usually so sure of himself, couldn't wrap his head around why the world-famous Mr. Wade would step in to help someone as unremarkable as Nellie.

He glanced over at his wife, who stood calmly beside Mr. Wade. The space between them suggested they weren't exactly on chummy terms.

Greta came rushing over, out of breath. "Cameron, Nellie got Mr. Wade to defend her. Doesn't that mean we're pretty much toast?"

Cameron took in the scene around him, the press swarming the place, all eager for the trial to kick off. His nerves were getting the best of him. Losing this case could spell disaster for his reputation. He murmured to Greta, "Our legal team isn't just for show. We can't let this throw us off."

As the court session got underway, the buzz of chatter faded to a hush. With the judge's steady guidance, both sides laid out their evidence and arguments in an orderly fashion.

Cameron's defense team claimed, "Nellie, driven by jealousy, twisted the facts, damaging Cameron and Greta's reputation. She needs to make a public apology and pay them for their losses."

Mr. Wade used his razor-sharp memory, and clearly mapped out the details Nellie had gathered-dates, places, people-shooting down the flimsy accusations with ease.

"I object to these claims for three reasons," Wade argued. "First, Greta and Cameron were childhood sweethearts. Second, Greta often stayed over at the Dawson house. Third, after marrying Cameron, Nellie donated a kidney, and he's been a lousy husband ever since. We suspect Cameron of pulling a marriage scam."

The opposing lawyer shot back, "Greta is Nellie's sister. Given Greta's health issues, Cameron, as the brother-in-law, was just being kind. As Nellie's sister, Greta staying over is nothing unusual. Any affair is a figment of Nellie's imagination."

Wade countered, "If they were normal sisters, this might make sense. However, our client and her sister grew up apart and had a rocky relationship. So what's the real reason behind the visits? I trust the judge will see the truth."

Wade then showed photos of Nellie and Greta's past disputes. "For three years, my client and Greta have been on bad terms. So, was Greta visiting for Nellie or Cameron? I believe the judge can figure it out."

In just a few minutes of intense debate, Wade left the other side speechless. Faced with Wade's unstoppable arguments and a mountain of evidence, they had no choice but to ask for a break.

Even Cameron, usually the picture of calm, lost his cool in front of the cameras. His face darkened as he snapped at his lawyers, "Is there any point in continuing this?"

His legal team exchanged uneasy looks. Finally, one said, "Mr. Dawson, we're on the back foot morally, but if Nellie's after your fortune, we're confident she'll walk away with nothing." Cameron's earlier swagger was gone, replaced with a grim nod.

At the next court session, the opposing lawyer confidently declared, "My client and Miss Nellie signed a prenup, so if they divorce, she leaves with zilch."
