NovelEnglishChapter 165
Nathan handed Nathalie's portfodirectly to Mason. "Grandpa, this is the design work my girlfriend, Nathalie,
has been pouring her heart into for the past three months. Please take a look."
The move was sudden and without explanation, catching Cameron and Benjamin off guard and making them feel
threatened like never before.
Benjamin, never one to keep quiet, burst out, "Nathan, what are you up to? First, you snatched the prretail
spot from Cameron, and now you're after the design team he wants? How can you be so ruthless?"
Mason paid no mind to their bickering. For this business mogul, skill trumped family ties every time. He took the
portfolio, slipped on his reading glasses, and began to carefully leaf through it. Benjamin wore a worried
expression.
Cameron, on the other hand, kept his cool. "Nellie, do you really think your work can impress Mason? Don't make

Benjamin was stunned. "Cameron, what did you call her? Nellie? How could she be Nellie?"
Nathalie, feeling exposed by Cameron's public reveal, felt her palms grow clammy with anxiety.
Nathan gazed at her with tenderness. For this sensitive and sharp girl to find the courage to stand up to
Cameron, she must have faced sserious injustice. He felt for her.
Nathan watched Nathalie with affection. "Cameron, you've got the wrong person. This is my girlfriend, Nathalie.
She's not your sweet and naive ex-wife." Cameron's jaw dropped. "She... is your girlfriend?"
"Why else would | be helping her so much? She's family," Nathan replied.
Cameron studied Nellie closely, sure she was indeed Nellie. But, he couldn't wrap his head around how she had
becNathan's girlfriend.
Mason, deeply engrossed in Nathalie's portfolio, would have been visibly amazed by her designs if not for his
well-practiced poker face.
"Cameron, what did you just call her?" Mason, finally snapping out of his focus on the portfolio, asked.
Cameron glanced at Nathalie and said with a patronizing tone, "Mr. Rowland, this woman here is my ex-wife,
Nellie. She never attended college or studied fashion design formally. She's not fit to work with the Rowland
family's elite design team."
His words dripped with arrogance.
Mason narrowed his eyes. He'd heard the stories about Nellie, the
homeless girl Cameron took in, meant only to provide a kidney for his true love. Even though Cameron married
her out of duty, she lived under Cameron's pity and sympathy.
How could someone so humble create such striking designs? Her skilled illustrations, innovative ideas, and vast

Nellie.
Mason closed the portfolio, which now felt weighty and significant. He was determined to keep it from rival
companies.
"Nathan, you must have your reasons for bringing Miss Nathalie to me, right?" Mason, known for his shrewdness,
had already calculated the stakes.
Instead of handing Cameron a big
payday, perhaps it was smarter to back his own grandson. But did Nathan have the guts to take the prize right
out of Cameron's hands?

Right now, Mason was gauging Nathan's determination.
