Nathan said, "Grandfather, I''m eager to dive into the luxury goods market. My newpany is really taking off. We have a top-tier design team and an exceptional production crew. Plus, our retail location couldn''t be better. We''ve got everything lined up; we just need that final push to make it alle together."


    Mason smirked.


    Nathan was already iming the Rond family''s elite production team as his own, showing he''d won over their workers. Benjamin, the poor fool, just seemed to pave the way for others. He would never make it big.


    Mason then turned his attention to Nathalie. "Ms. Nathalie..." With his years of shrewdness, Mason always had a strategy. By insisting on calling her Ms. Nathalie when Cameron referred to her as Nellie, it was clear he only trusted Nathan. He''d rather upset Cameron, the respected businessman than fail to back Nathan.


    Cameron was left speechless. His eyes fell on the portfolio Mason held, realizing it had swayed Mason''s original ns. Still, it was hard for him to believe that Nellie had the chops to win Mason over.


    "Mason, can I have a look at that portfolio?" Cameron asked hesitantly.


    Mason instinctively tightened his grip on the portfolio, clearly protective of it. But he didn not want to cross Cameron as well. He turned the issue to Nathalie. "Mr. Dawson, this belongs to Ms. Nathalie. If you''re keen to see it, you''ll need her permission..." Before he could finish, Nathalie interjected firmly: "This is confidentialpany material, and I''m not agreeing to that."


    Cameron was furious. "Nellie, I wouldn''t steal your work," he said, never having thought much of Nellie''s skills. He just wanted to understand why Mason shifted his stance after seeing the portfolio. If it was genuinely impressive, he''d be convinced. If not, it would suggest Mason had a special ce for Nathan, making Nathan the clear heir to the Rond legacy.


    "Cameron, isn''t it a bit rude to demand to see anotherpany''s confidential files?" Nathan shot a cold nce at Cameron.

    Faced with the barriers set by Mason, and Nathan, Cameron found a way through. "Mr. Rond, I''ve also brought a portfolio for you to check out."


    Nathan was well aware of Cameron''s agenda. Wasn''t he just trying to get the answers he wanted byparison?


    Mason couldn''t exactly dismiss Cameron. He showed keen interest. "Oh, I''m in for a treat today."


    Cameron eagerly dialed his chief designer, boasting about her


    unmatched skills. "Mr. Rond, you won''t regret seeing her designs. She studied fashion design in college shined both academically and creatively, and won several awards. After graduation, she caught Jasmine''s attention and became her protégé. Her expertise has grown by leaps and bounds, and she''s gaining quite a reputation in the industry."


    Mason was even more intrigued. "I''m truly looking forward to it."


    Cameron wasted no time and called his chief designer, urging her to bring her best work to the Rond family estate without dy.


    As they waited, the atmosphere turned oddly tense. Before long, Greta arrived in a whirlwind.
