Chapter 83
"Who's going to pay back the medical loan?" Nellie asked, raising an eyebrow with a hint of challenge in her
voice.
Miranda shrugged as if it were obvious. "Well, you're my daughter, so naturally, it's your job to pay back the
money | borrowed, right?"
Nellie couldn't hold back her frustration. "It's not like I'm your only daughter, you know!"
Miranda shot back, her anger flaring. "Why are you so petty? | haven't supported your sister at all, so how could |
ask her for money? Besides, your sister's health isn't great-she needs way more financial help than most. What's
wrong with you helping her out a bit?" Nellie's hands shook with anger. "You..."

Nathan gently placed his long, graceful fingers on Nellie's shoulder, calming her with silent reassurance. Nellie
turned to him, her smile grateful but tinged with bitterness.
"Nellie, you're too worked up right now. Lethandle this for you," Nathan suggested softly.
Nellie realized that she was too emotional to deal with Miranda. She stepped back, giving Nathan the space to
step forward and shield her.
His expression was as cold and unyielding as ice as he fixed his gaze on Miranda. "I can lend you the money, but
you'll have to sign an agreement to cut ties with her," he stated plainly.
The weight of his words hit Miranda hard, leaving her momentarily speechless. After a pause, she scoffed. "I
raised her, and now you want her to cutoff? Who's supposed to take care ofwhen I'm old? | was counting
on her to look after me."
"Nellie's always been the caring one. Her sister doesn't have her knack for looking after people." Miranda's face
softened as she remembered Nellie's tender care during her childhood.
Nathan's eyes flashed with a sharp, icy warning. "You should consult a lawyer about how much support Nel, with
no income, could legally provide."
"At best, a few hundred dollars a
month, and even that only if she wants to. If she's not keen on it, she could just drag her feet... She could take
care of you, but you know how you've treated her. Aren't you worried she might want spayback?"
"I'll give you a million dollars upfront. It's your one shot at real wealth."
Miranda pondered deeply.

After Nellie left home, Miranda had thought about suing her for support. However, a lawyer dashed her
hopes, saying there was no chance given Nellie's lack of incand Miranda's age, which did not meet
retirement standards.
But now...
When Miranda saw Nellie dressed so elegantly, with the poise of a wealthy heiress, her greed flared up. "Nellie's
Mrs. Dawson now. She's worth a fortune," Miranda tried to negotiate. "A million bucks is peanuts." Nellie replied
coolly, "Cameron and | signed a prenup. The Dawson family money isn't mine."
Miranda scratched her head, frustrated and muttering, "How could you be so dumb to sign something like that?"
Nathan grabbed Miranda's hand and
pushed her back, making her stumble. His voice, cold and cutting like a winter wind, hovered over her "She's
been begging since she was six. Every penny she earned went to you. If you think about it, you only took care of
her for six years, but she's been supporting you for over a decade. You've profited plenty."
