Chapter 157
"Alright then," Greta said, knowing just when to push forward and when to hold back, which Cameron found both
sensible and endearing.
He pulled her close, wrapping her in his arms. "Greta, I'm going to work my butt off to reach the top. Once I'm
there, nothing will stand in the way of our love."
Greta gazed at him with fiery determination. "Cameron, | believe in you."
Cameron was back in the gwith the resolve of a warrior. At the company's shareholder meeting, he boldly
declared, "In six months, I'm taking our new company public."
His impressive track record still earned him the trust and support of the shareholders. Griffin noticed Cameron's
dedication, and eased up on his usual criticisms. He even made occasional visits to the Dawson family estate to
reconnect with Kristina and spared no expense in scrubbing Cameron's nclean from the tabloids.

What was once a turbulent storm in Cameron's life was now a calm, clear sky, thanks to his wealthy father
shielding him from all the chaos. Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction.
Meanwhile, Nathalie had flawlessly wrapped up her design project, and her top thirty designs were heading to
production. The next big step was nailing the marketing strategy.
Nathan showed up with a list of potential partners. Nathalie's spirits dipped when she saw the big names at the
top: the McCoy family, the Rowland family, and the Dawson family, all powerhouse conglomerates. "The Dawson
family can't stand me. They won't work with me," she assessed coolly.
"And your dad holds the reins at the Rowland family. He dotes on your brother, so you're not getting any prime
resources there."
"The McCoy family might be worth a shot."
Nathan grinned, correcting her, "Nellie, while your take is a bit one-sided, you've hit the nail on the head."
Nathalie leaned in, curious. "What's one-sided about it?"
Nathan explained, "Business is all about the bottom line, not personal feelings. The Dawson family has Cameron,
the Rowland family has Benjamin, and both are running their family's fashion and jewelry businesses. They're
not potential partners. They're our competition. That's the real reason we're not teaming up with them."
Nathalie whispered, "So, he's my rival?"
"Yep. With the market being so tight, we'll be going head-to-head with Cameron."
Nathalie's gentle eyes flashed with intensity. "So, it's him or me?"
Nathan nodded.
"Nathan, | can't afford to lose," Nathalie declared, unwavering. If she couldn't tackle Cameron legally, she'd
make sure he faced spayback outside the law.
Nathan advised, "If you don't want to lose, there's only one play - team up with the McCoy family."
The McCoy family, a powerhouse with ties to both the military and business sectors, had a reputation that sent
shivers down many spines.

Despite her apprehension about the politically savvy Nicholas, Nathalie was ready to face her fears and outdo
Cameron.
"Is your granddad... easy to deal with?"
To score a deal with the McCoy
family, Nathalie, who usually turned
her nose up at shortcuts, was now
all ears, learning the art of
ponon
networking from Nathan.
Sensing her nerves, Nathan reassured her, "Nellie, my granddad might be quirky, but he's a great guy. Plus, he's
totally whipped by my grandma."
