Chapter 110
She managed to muster a faint smile at him. "Nathan, congratulations on getting what you wanted."
Nathan lifted Timeless Cycle necklace with a knowing look. "This? It wasn't for me. My friend loves it, so | bought
it for her."
Benjamin, standing nearby, snorted, "Nathan, since when did you have a friend?"
Nathan's eyes softened as they met Nellie's.
Suddenly, it clicked for Nellie why Nathan had made a bid for Timeless Cycle. Her eyes widened in shock-it was
such a pricey gift, and he intended to give it to her.

However, accepting such a valuable present without earning it didn't sit right with her.
"Nathan, this necklace means the world to me. I'd like to buy it from you. | can't pay right now, but I'm willing to
write you an I0U and pay it back over my lifetime," Nellie insisted, determined not to owe Nathan any favors.
To her surprise, Nathan gave her a sly wink. "Nellie, if you really want this necklace, drop by my office sometime,
and we can work out a deal."
Nellie nodded eagerly.
But Cameron intervened, stepping in front of Nellie and taking it upon himself to decline Nathan's offer. "Nathan,
my wife isn't versed in business. If you're keen on selling the necklace, I'm open to discussing a deal. | hear
you're interested in that Eastside property?" The Eastside property was a red-hot project, eyed by all the top
firms in the city, but the Dawson family snagged it. Left untouched for two years, its value had soared as
Eastside thrived.
What was once worth billions was now worth several times more. Cameron's proposition was indeed a tempting
one for any businessman.
Worry clouded Nellie's eyes; she feared Nathan might not resist the allure and would swap the necklace for the
land.
She silently pleaded with Nathan, shaking her head, hoping to sway him from agreeing to Cameron's deal.
Greta added her two cents, "Mr. Nathan, Mr. Dawson's offering you a slice of the Eastside project. You could make
a killing. You should really jump on this opportunity; they don't caround often."
Nathan's brow furrowed. He found Greta's condescending tone quite off-putting.
Looking down at Greta, he remarked, "Mr. Dawson's bending over backward for this locket, all for you, Miss

Cameron didn't confirm it. After all, both Dawson sisters were after this necklace. Cameron's attempt to please
Greta while ignoring his wife's feelings was a classic jerk move.
However, his silence spoke volumes.
Nathan switched gears. "Sorry, but the Eastside property doesn't catch my eye. So, Mr. Dawson, I'm going to
make a deal with Miss Nellie."
Cameron was stunned. "Why?" He couldn't wrap his head around why Nathan would choose to deal with Nellie.
Nathan leaned in close to Cameron, whispering, "Mr. Dawson, women are the easiest to fool."
Cameron, missing Nathan's sarcasm, kept on with his advice, "Mr. Nathan, even though Nellie married into the
Dawson family, we won't fund her business ventures. If you think you can tap into the Dawson wealth through
her, you're barking up the wrong tree."
