Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 716

Cameron barely had a moment to process before Nathalie jumped right in. "I'm sure you've heard about the Stewart family's bet agreement. For Nina's sake, here's a tip: steer clear of this chaos."

Cameron's eyes flashed with anger. "Is that advice or a threat?"

Nathalie smirked, amusement dancing in her eyes. "Can't you tell? It's an outright threat."

A few chuckles rippled through the crowd around them.

Cameron's expression turned stormy.

"I honestly didn't plan on getting tangled up in the Stewart family's drama. But since you're being so ungrateful, I'll make sure to step in," he said, turning to Ashley. "Ashley, let’s set up a contract with Dawson Enterprises."

Ashley practically squealed with delight. "Thank you, Cameron."

Murmurs spread among the onlookers. "Is the Stewart family's eldest daughter clueless about business?"

"Honestly, she seems like a bit of an airhead, pushing her partners toward the competition."

Cameron eyed Nathalie with smug satisfaction.

"If you crawl and admit your mistake, maybe I'll change my mind."

Nathalie casually admired her freshly manicured nails and replied slowly, "Cameron, you should learn when to push forward and when to pull back, or you might find yourself in hot water."

Cameron scoffed, "Nathalie, I've been in the game longer than you've been around. Heed the wisdom of your elders, or you'll regret it."

Nathalie raised her eyes lazily, "You might have a point. Only a sly old fox like you could come up with such an escape plan."

Cameron’s smugness disappeared in an instant, his face clouding over with a hint of panic in his eyes.

"Cameron, the feud between us should have been settled ages ago."

A flicker of guilt crossed Cameron's face.

"Nathalie, where do you get the confidence to take me on?"

Nathalie replied, "Mr. Dawson, just wait and see."

With those parting words, Nathalie swept out of the room.

In the ballroom, she moved with grace among the entrepreneurs, her conversation both charming and cutting. She quickly connected with the socialites and business moguls, becoming the star of the evening.

Even Cameron, who had always underestimated her, couldn’t help but notice that Nathalie was shining too brightly today. Given time, Nathalie was bound to become a new star, one capable of overshadowing him.
