Chapter 253
Cameron's face went through a whole spectrum of colors, from ghostly pale to a deep flush in no time. Nathalie
couldn't help but feel a smug sense of satisfaction at the sight of his deflated expression.
As he touched his burning cheek, the sharp sting jolted Cameron back to reality, making him realize just how
harsh he'd been with Nathalie. Regret tugged at him. "I'm sorry."
Nathalie shot back with a sarcastic grin, "Cameron, are you having a split personality moment or what? One
second, you're throwing insults; the next, you're apologizing. With mood swings like that, maybe you should
check yourself into a mental health clinic." Cameron was taken aback; he'd never seen Nathalie look at him with
such disdain or use such cutting words. Had things between them really gone beyond repair?
"Nathalie, just take it easy. I'll cby another time." Cameron couldn't bear to be in the sroom with her

He wanted to bolt, but Nathalie wasn't about to let him off easy. "Cameron, | didn't expect you to still have the

back at me? You're underestimatingand overestimating him. That kid's no match for me."
Nathalie chuckled, "Cameron, having confidence is great, but don't fool yourself. You're only standing tall in the

He observed the cutting-edge technology at Pulse, amazed that their production tools were five years ahead of
the competition. The company's incentive schemes and wages were way above industry standards and were the

Regan couldn't help but sigh in admiration; no wonder the company had surged past its competitors in just a few

Ashley was also impressed by Nathan's business acumen. She found herself falling head over heels for him. She
made a snap decision. "Dad, let's ditch the partnership with the Dawson family."
Regan looked at her, puzzled. "Sweetie, we need to think this through."
Ashley pouted, "Oh, con, Dad, can't you see? Cameron's tis up, and Nathan's going to take over. Plus, |
like Nathan, and he's going to be your son-in-law. Whose side are you on?" Regan burst into laughter.
However, when he turned, he noticed Nathan seemed distracted, staring intently at the door.
