Can't Win Me Back (Isabella and Nathan) novel Chapter 79

“Alright then.” Victoria knew when to advance and retreat, which made Nathan quite pleased with her understanding.

He pulled her into his embrace and comforted her, “Victoria, for you, I will work hard and reach the top of the pyramid. When that time comes, no one will be able to stop our love.”

Victoria looked at him with fervor. “Nathan, I believe in you.”

After a long period of decline, the Crown Nathan was returning to the workforce, with the resolve of cutting off a limb to save himself. At the shareholders' meeting, he declared: “In six months, I will lead our new company to a successful IPO.”

Given his impressive past achievements, the company’s shareholders still had great trust in him and expressed their full support.

Alaric, seeing his effort, slightly softened his previous harshness. He also occasionally returned to the Hill family villa to strengthen ties with Mrs. Hill and even spent a large sum to have Nathan removed from all trending searches.

Nathan’s skies, once filled with storms, now calmed, shielded by the support of his benefactor, his father.

Everything seemed to be moving in the right direction.

Meanwhile,

Thea’s design work had been completed perfectly. The thirty best designs were pushed directly into the production phase. The next priority was to handle the publicity and promotions.

Theo brought in the list of potential collaborators. When Thea saw the major names at the top—*the Browns, the Sanchez, and the Hill family*, all powerful conglomerates—her expression darkened.

“The Hill family hates me to the bone; they will never cooperate with me,” she said coldly and rationally.

“And the Sanchez family’s core power lies in your father’s hands. He favors your brother, so he won’t allocate good resources to you.”

“The Browns, perhaps we can give it a try.”

Theo smiled and corrected her. “Big sis, your analysis is a bit one-sided, but your conclusion is quite sharp.”

Thea raised an ear in curiosity. “What’s one-sided about it?”

Theo replied, “Businessmen care only for profit, not emotions. The Hill family has Nathan, and the Sanchez family has Guillermo—both of them control the fashion and jewelry industries of their respective families. They share the same business interests as us, so they can’t be our partners; they will only be our competitors. That’s the real reason we’re not seeking their cooperation.”

Thea mumbled, “I’m a competitor to him?”

“Yes, big sis, we’ll be fighting Nathan head-to-head for a share of the limited market.”

Thea’s gentle and captivating eyes suddenly turned fierce. “So, it’s either him or me?”

Theo nodded.

“Theodore, I can’t lose,” Thea declared firmly.

If she couldn’t punish Nathan through legal means, she would make sure he faced consequences in ways the law couldn’t touch.

Theo said, “Big sis, if you don’t want to lose, there’s only one choice: cooperate with the Browns.”

The Browns, a family notorious for their military-business combination, was a force to be reckoned with.

Thea was admittedly intimidated by the rumors surrounding the formidable Mr. Brown, the old man who ruled the political world. But in order to defeat Nathan, she overcame all her fears.

“Is your grandfather… easy to get along with?”

To secure the Browns’ collaboration, Thea, who usually rejected shortcuts, surprisingly began to ask Theo for advice on how to navigate relationships.

Theo noticed her nervousness and reassured her. “Big sis, my grandfather’s temper may be eccentric, but he’s a good person. Besides, he’s a softie when it comes to my grandmother.”

Suddenly, Thea cupped Theo’s face in her hands and studied him. “You’re so handsome; you must have inherited your mother’s extraordinary beauty. Your grandmother must really like you, right? How about you represent *TheaEver* and negotiate with the Browns?”
