Griffin and Cameron exchanged confused glances. Deep down, they knew they'd both let Kristina down, and neither was exactly the person she'd trust with her final wishes. But they were her closest family, and whether driven by love or their own egos, they couldn't help but fight over her remains.
Just when things seemed to be at a standstill, an unexpected pair walked in. Nathan, looking somber in a black suit, and Nathalie, wearing a dignified black dress and holding onto Nathan's arm, stepped into the station. Seeing Nathan, Cameron's face twisted with rage, as if he'd just laid eyes on a sworn enemy. "What are you doing here, Nathan? Did you have something to do with my mother's death?" he shouted.
Nathan turned to the officer. "Officer, does that count as slander?" The officer cautioned Cameron, "Cameron, unless you've got evidence, please don't go throwing around accusations like that." Cameron's glare at Nathan was a clear challenge. Nathan approached him, taking in Cameron's t appearance before letting out a bemused chuckle. "Cameron, did you let yourself fall apart like this? Tsk, tsk," he said, shaking his head with mock sympathy.

"Cameron, your mom's last call was to Ms. Nathalie, so we brought her in to help us understand what happened." Cameron looked at Nathalie, stunned. "No way. My mom hated her." Nathalie handed a small recorder to the officer. "Officer, when Kristina called, I could tell something was off with her. So, I recorded the whole thing." She glanced at Cameron and said, "Kristina regretted marrying into the Dawson family and having a son who turned out to be a
disappointment. She spent her life living for others and ended up alone. If she could do it all over, she'd stay single and be her parents little princess forever."
As the recording played, Kristina's voice was filled with remorse. "Nathalie, I was wrong about you. You were a great wife and daughter-in-law, but I kept looking. down on you because of your background. I drove you and Cameron apart. Now I'm paying for it. Karma has givena daughter-in-law with no morals, who's turned Cameron against his own family. Nathalie, I can't ask you to forgive Cameron or get back with him. But if there's another life, I'd want you to be my daughter-in-law again..."
When the recording ended, the officer looked at Cameron. "Cameron, your mom's last words are pretty much her final wishes. She wanted to cut ties with you completely. You don't have any right to her remains."
