Chapter 70
Benjamin looked completely taken aback. "Nathan, what on earth are you doing? My mom went through all that
trouble to pick out that outfit for you, and you just tossed it aside?" Benjamin's outburst turned every head in the
club.
Nathan, as cool and composed as if he were standing in a breeze, was wrapped in a dark gray suit that
accentuated his growing maturity and authority. His calm demeanor only served to highlight Benjamin's youthful
immaturity. Nathan replied with a calm, steady voice, "It got dirty. I'm a bit of a neat freak."
Benjamin was momentarily stunned. When he realized that Nathan was put off because he had touched his
clothes, his anger flared up irrationally.

He sneered at Nathan's attire. "That outfit my mom got you cost at least a few grand. And you'd rather ditch that
expensive piece for this cheap knockoff? You sure know how to pick 'em."
Nathan glanced down at his unbranded suit, oblivious to its monetary value. But it was handmade by Nellie, who
had stayed up late stitching it with love and care. To him, it was priceless.
A gentle sigh suddenly rippled through the crowd. "Benjamin, your family's luxury brand, the Rowland, is famous
worldwide. As an heir to the Rowland family, how can't you recognize the fabric Mr. Nathan is donning?" The
voice was soft, without a trace of malice, but it struck a chord in Benjamin, leaving him flustered.
Benjamin hurriedly defended himself, "Of course, | recognize what Nathan's wearing. | picked that out for him."
The lights cast a striking silhouette of Nathan, showing off his elegant and poised presence, though his
affectionate gaze towards the girl went unnoticed.
The crowd buzzed, "So Mr. Nathan's birthday bash was organized by Mr. Benjamin? Seems like the Rowland
family really holds him in high regard."
As he listened to the flattery around him, Benjamin's face lit up with pride.
Just then, a stylish woman, sporting
a handbag worth millions and adorned with jewelry worth even more, stepped forward. Her trendy glasses
perched on her fair face as she made her way to Natham
She gave him a once-over, her eyes full of appraisal. "Mr. Nathan, may | feel the fabric of your suit?"
Nathan locked eyes with her, almost not recognizing her after two years. Her former timidity had vanished,
replaced by a cool confidence and pride. Her transformation delighted him.

"Go right ahead," he said, dropping his usual aloofness for a gentler, warmer tone.
The woman lightly touched the
fabric and said, "Mr. Nathan, | hope | wasn't too forward. Thank you for lettingsee this legendary top-tier
fabric up close. It's a rare privilege. They say this fabric is exclusively for Jasmine's team. For someone as young
as Mr. Nathan to get their nod speaks volumes about your talent. We all know Jasmine values skill above all."
Her words stirred a buzz in the crowd.
"How could Mr. Benjamin be so clueless? This is such a fine fabric and he didn't recognize it? If it weren't for the
top fashion blogger calling him out, we might've bought into his story."
"Can the Rowland family really trust him with the reins?"
