Upon hearing about Cameron''s setback with the McCoy family, Benjamin was so furious he shattered the cup against the stone table. "How could Nathan pull something so underhanded? Our families are among the big four financial powerhouses and have been in this together since our ancestors'' days. We''ve always had each other''s backs, but he swoops in and snatches the prime retail spot you had lined up. Cameron, don''t worry, I''ve got your back this time." Cameron beamed with relief. "With your solid support, the Rond family''s fashion design team will be at my fingertips. The Dawson family products will earn their reputation. No prime location is needed because our sales will flow. But..."


    Cameron''s face clouded with worry. "I''m just concerned Nathan will find a way to throw a wrench in the works again."


    Benjamin sneered. "He might have some clout in the McCoy family, but in the Rond family, he''s nobody in my dad''s eyes. If he behaves, he gets scraps. If not, he''s out on his ear."


    Cameron exhaled slowly, feeling reassured.


    But then Benjamin paused, suspicion creeping in. "Cameron, something''s fishy. Why is Nathan gunning for you specifically?"


    It was a lightbulb moment for Cameron. He ran through all his encounters with Nathan and stumbled upon a chilling realization. "Now that you point it out, I see it. The embarrassment he caused me and stealing my prime shop spot was no ident. It must''ve been deliberate."


    "Why would he cross you? There''s nothing in it for him," Benjamin puzzled.


    Cameron replied, full of self-assurance, "What else could it be? It''s got to be youthful arrogance. He''s trying to snatch the glory of my prodigy status."


    Benjamin scoffed. "Everyone knows you''re the real deal, Cameron. Nathan doesn''t even have a mother. It''s so ridiculous."


    With renewed enthusiasm, Benjamin urged, "Cameron,e with me to see my grandfather. Once he grants you the Rond family''s core technology, Nathan won''t stand a chance." Cameron nodded. "Alright."


    Cameron never imagined that his biggest rival wouldn''t be some market-dominating business titan but his humble ex-wife, whom he always underestimated.


    Meanwhile, in a south-facing room on the third floor, Nathan stood by the floor-to-ceiling window, gazing quietly toward the gazebo.


    "I feel like we''re in for a tough fight today."


    Nathalie stood beside him, resolute as ever. "If it means taking him down, I''ll dive into any fire pit without a second thought."


    Nathan turned, silhouetted by the light, his tall, elegant figure like a supermodel. His face was shadowed his voice a murmur. "Cameron is slick in business andOriginal from N?velDrama.Org.


    always uses perks to win ove and


    partners. And the Rond family folks? They''re all about the benefits. To beat him, you''ve got to think outside the box."


    Nathalie was straightforward. Although she was sessful in her overseas ventures, she relied on ster service and top-notch quality. Bribery was beneath her, something she found repulsive and refused to touch.


    But losing to Cameron wasn''t an option.


    Suddenly, an idea struck her like lightning. Her eyes lit up as she looked at Nathan, a spark of brilliance dancing in her gaze. Despite Cameron''s tricks, Nathan


    had outsmarted him before.


    This meant Nathan''s wit and strategy were a cut above Cameron''s.


    "Nathan, you''ve got to have a n to beat him," she pleaded, tugging at Nathan''s sleeve, her eyes twinkling with a clever innocence that was as disarming as a child asking for candy.
