Nathalie picked up on Lady Sharp''s real meaning-she was being politely told to step aside. After all, with a divorce and miscarriage behind her, she was exactly the kind of woman families like the Sharps looked down on.

Her eyes shimmered with the threat of tears as she looked at Morris. "Greta''s telling the truth. Does my past bother you?"

Morris shot Greta a look so sharp it could cut ss, his eyes full of warning. He was fiercely protective of Nathalie''s pride-he wouldn''t let Greta tarnish it.

He turned to Nathalie, his voice gentle. "I''m not some uptight traditionalist. I don''t judge women who''ve been through tough times. It''s not you who''s at fault—it''s the schemers and the men who can''t stay loyal."

Then he looked right at Greta, not caring who heard. "Don''t you agree, Greta?"

Greta''s face went pale. "I wasn''t the one meddling in someone else''s marriage. That was my sister."

Morris didn''t let her off the hook. "Let''s not twist the facts. When you started chasing Cameron, he was married to Nellie. So who''s the real homewrecker here? And now you''re trying to y the victim? Honestly, the audacity."

Greta had never been able to get the upper hand with Morris, and now she was both embarrassed and furious. "Cameron and I go way back. I knew him first—”fnffa4 Official source is find[?]ovel/fnffa4

Morris cut her off. "Sure, and to save yourself, you had your so-called childhood sweetheart take a kidney from that poor girl. Once you got what you wanted, you two picked up right where you left off?"

With just a few words, Morrisid bare Greta and Cameron''s scheme. Greta was at a loss for words. "That''s not how it was..."

Suddenly, Morris mmed his hand

on the table, his anger breaking through. "Greta, whatever issues you have with Nathalie you''re the one who''s wrong she

Ced your life."

How can you be so ungrateful? You''re biting the hand that fed you."  s

Greta''s lips trembled as everything clicked into ce. She''d only shown up today to drag Nathalie''s reputation through the mud in front of the Sharp family. If Lady Sharp wouldn''t let Nathalie join their ranks, at least she wouldn''t get to marry Morris of Greta couldn''t have Cameron, then Nathalie wasn''t getting her happy ending either. That was her version of revenge.  s

Nathalie, sensing Greta''s motives, gently patted Morris''s arm. "Nathan, just let it go."

Greta had gotten what she wanted.

Lady Sharp watched it all with a clear mind. Nathalie was beautiful and smart, but her past would always keep her out of the Sharp. family As for Greta, someone She''d once respected, today she found her utterly disappointing.  s

Just as Greta was quietly celebrating her sess, Lady Sharp''s tone turned icy.

"Ms. Nellie, since you''re here, have dinner with us."

Greta froze. Lady Sharp had never spoken to her so coldly before.

She sat down, casting a quick nce at Nathalie, only to see her calm and unbothered, even after everything Greta had thrown at her. Nathalie kept serving Morris food. "Nathan, eat some vegetables."

Morris kept his head down, eating quietly, but he couldn''t shake the feeling that Nathalie was treating him with extra care tonight—like nothing could stand in the way of her affection for him.

A sudden chill crept up his spine. Did she somehow know about his illness?

To test her, Morris picked up a spicy pepper, moving it toward his mouth. Nathalie quickly took it from him. "I want that one."
