Reborn From Oblivion

No matter how cold the winter gets, it eventually gives way to spring.

After Nathalie said her goodbyes to Nathan, she spent days holed up at home, sunk deep into despair. She neither ate nor drank, drifting around like a ghost. If it weren't for Lizzy, who sneakily mixed nutrients into her soups and broths, forcing her to take sips, Nathalie might not have made it.

Lizzy had enormous respect for Nathalie, but seeing her in such a state of self- neglect made her anxious. Every day, she'd gently coax her, "Sis, you've got to pull yourself together. You promised to get revenge for him. You wanted everyone who hurt him to pay, remember?"

"And what about your dad, huh? Have you given up on Mr. Lincoln? Aren't you worried about how he's doing? The doctor said we were being irresponsible, leaving him all alone in the hospital. Sis, you should go see him. You're all he's got."

Nathalie stayed quiet and unmoved.

"Sis, do you really want him to be unable to rest in peace?" Lizzy pleaded, shaking Nathalie's arm slightly. "Nathan may not have been here long, but his life was all about you. He worked so hard, laying a foundation for you. Are you just going to let all that go to waste?”

Finally, Lizzy's words stirred something in Nathalie.

Her face, once void of life, showed a hint of resolve. "You're right, Lizzy. I can't let Nathan's efforts go down the drain."

She wobbled to her feet, her frail body even weaker from days without food, like she might topple over at any moment.noveldrama

Clinging to Lizzy for support, she instructed, "Lizzy, bring out the files. Starting today, I'm diving into them."

Lizzy's eyes lit up. "Yes, sis."

Nathan had left behind files detailing the secrets of the Capital's top four families. The Dawson family's

Col.ne

wealth was largely due to Cameron, dubbed the "crown prince" of business. He worked his way from the bottom, mastering management, technology, and operations-a jack-of-all-trades ready for any challenge. Yet, the files also held the key to his downfall.

The Dawson family files were thorough, covering everything from their rise to their decline, and every turning point that led to Cameron's fall, all meticulously noted.

The heart of these files was the data-operational stats, profit figures from employees, and details about partner companies. Nathalie soaked up both the successes and failures of the Dawson family.

It took her a whole month to

memorize every bit. Afterward, she

exhaled deeply, "No wonder

Benjamin and Cameron were dying to get their hands on these. They're priceless. Cameron might be a business prodigy, but next to my Nathan, his brilliance is just à dim light. Nathan's genius is something Cameron could never reach."

While Lizzy carefully tucked the files away, she chatted with Nathalie. "Sis, do you remember what Nathan told you before he passed?"

Nathalie's face grew somber. "Every word Nathan said is engraved in my heart. Which part do you mean?"

Lizzy reminded her, "Sis, he wanted you to become the most respected woman in the Capital."

Nathalie fell silent.

Her fingers tapped quietly on the table as she pondered deeply.

After what seemed like deep reflection, she spoke with determination, "Before, I never had grand ambitions. My biggest wish was for Nathan to have enough to eat, warm clothes, and a life of health and peace."
