NovelXXXChapter 714 Nathalie's eyes turned icy cold, her once gentle face twisted with anger. "He killed my Nathan. How could I ever make peace with him? I just want to get close enough to take him down." Her fist clenched tightly.
Lizzy exhaled slowly, already formulating a plan. "Sis, the New York Commerce Association's hosting an industry mixer, and the heirs from the top four families are invited. I can snag you a ticket, give you a chance to meet Cameron." Nathalie's initial impulse was to storm into his place, fury blazing like a woman scorned. But then she thought better of it. Being the heiress of Stewart Enterprises, if she was going to engage in business, it should be on his turf. Outdoing him in his own arena would be his most humiliating defeat.

"Alright." Nathalie nodded in agreement.
Lizzy looked hesitant. "But sis, the event requires everyone to bring a dance partner." Nathalie was caught off guard. A dance partner? She didn't have one.
Nathalie looked Lizzy up and down before giving her shoulder a reassuring pat. "You'll be my dance partner." Lizzy burst into laughter. "Sis, you're supposed to bring a guy." Nathalie shot back, "You're nearly six feet tall, you've been training for ages, and you're strong. Plus, I feel comfortable and safe with you." Seeing Nathalie's earnest look, Lizzy made up her mind. "If you're counting on me, then I'm in." But who would have thought that by Saturday night, Lizzy would pull a disappearing act? When she returned, the elegant lady in a dress had transformed into a short-haired, incredibly dashing figure in a tux.
Dominick and Ford were so stunned their jaws nearly hit the floor. Dominick chuckled in disbelief. "Lizzy, you're rocking this look better than we ever could. You're blazing a trail for us guys, leaving us in the dust." Lizzy ran a hand through her bangs, her movement crisp and confident, exuding a swagger often reserved for men.
"From now on, I'm my sister's protector." Nathalie tenderly ruffled Lizzy's short hair, her eyes glistening. "Silly girl, you didn't have to go to such lengths." Lizzy, however, was all smiles. "As long as I can help you, sis, I'm happy." Nathalie pulled Lizzy into a tight hug. "You're the best, sis." The weekend rolled around.

Cameron made his entrance with his wife, Greta.
Once inside, he joined Benjamin, Jaime, and Ashley, where they exchanged toasts and light-hearted chatter.
"Ashley, how's business going?" Cameron asked, his main concern being the Stewart family's internal wager between the main and second branches.
Ashley sighed, looking weary. "Don't even getstarted. You big shots are all playing it safe, and the smaller git partners are too scared to sign with us. We've burned through almost a month of the wagenperiod without landing a single contract." Cameron reassured, "Don't worry. As long as the big players hold off, the second branch can't gain traction with just small businesses." Ashley lamented, "Cameron, if you
all just watch from the sidelines, we're bound to lose. Have you m thought about how Nathalie, who can't stand you, will cfor you first once she's got the power?" mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1 mmMwWLliIofifl0&1 mmMwWLlilofiflo&1
