Reborn From Oblivion

"The billions Nathalie handed over to Morris had sketchy origins, and now the Stewart family's main branch is using it to their advantage. It looks like her downfall is just around the corner."

But Sarah had a different take. "If you had billions, would you really spend it to help a friend you barely know?"

"Definitely not. That's why Nathalie's an idiot. She could've kept her billions tucked away and lived the good life forever. But no, she had to dive into this mess." Paige wasn't sparing any criticism for Nathalie, picking apart her every decision.

Sarah just shrugged it off with a smile.

As soon as Paige left, Sarah reached out to Nathalie.

"Ashley, I heard about your situation. Because of the gifts you've given me, I'm willing to lend a hand."

Nathalie's voice was upbeat on the other end. "Sarah, thank you for offering. But I've got nothing to hide."

Then, with a cheeky tone, Nathalie added, "If you're willing to pass this opportunity to my Nathan, I'd be even more grateful."

Sarah sighed, "You're in hot water yourself, and you're still thinking about others."

Nathalie laughed, "Just watch, Sarah. Justice is fair and will shine a light on all the dark corners."

Sarah caught her optimism. "If you truly are innocent, I'm ready to believe you this once_"

She paused briefly, then continued, "Believe that your Nathan is as good as you say."

Nathalie was touched. "Sarah, on Nathan's behalf, thank you."noveldrama

Sarah teased, "You're putting so much faith in him, let's hope he doesn't let you down."

"I trust him," Nathalie said confidently.

The legal battle between Nathalie and Dean was handled quickly and decisively. Nathalie seemed eager to focus her energy on Nathan, so she was pushing her case forward with gusto.

The trial moved fast. For some reason, the Stewart family wanted a private hearing, citing family reputation concerns.

But on the trial day, apart from the main parties and their families, reps from the Rowland, McCoy, and Dawson families showed up as witnesses. Surprisingly, Scottie was there too.

The four families lamented about their past glories.

In just six months, their family businesses mysteriously nosedived. They suspected foul play, claiming their accounts were drained inexplicably.

They then described how Nathalie was dirt poor before, and her sudden wealth seemed fishy.

Their conclusion: the massive funds in Nathalie's accounts must've come from them, and she had to pay it back.

Nathalie was dumbfounded.

She laid bare the financial journey of Maple Company: from its first big break, to stock trades, mutual funds, Bitcoin resulting in massive wealth growth Then came real estate, buying properties... every step, the income was clear and transparent. Almost all of this wealth, 99%, was made overseas.

What left everyone stunned was how Morris, the mastermind, managed to buy the

right stocks and sell them at their peak.

Nathalie joked, "Maybe he's a time traveler."

The judge brushed off Nathalie's comment as a joke.

With that, everything was wrapped up.
