Chapter 439
The secretary playfully smacked his own cheek and said, "Sir, those women in the business world act all prim and proper, like they're nuns or something. But when they see you, they can't take their eyes off you!" Nathan's expression turned stormy. "Are you complimenting me or making fun of me for relying on my looks?"
The secretary chuckled nervously, "Even guys find it hard to keep their cool around you. I'm just curious, how could Nathalie not be into you?"
Before Nathan could respond, the secretary made a quick getaway.
Fuming, Nathan hurled a folder at the back of the retreating secretary's head. "I swear, I'll send you to deal with those 'nuns' tonight!"
The secretary yelped, "My bad. Let's just have Dominick from PR handle this sort of thing."
Nathan slumped onto a bench with a heavy sigh. The secretary's words had struck a chord. Objectively, he had the looks, the money, and was loyal to a fault. There was no logical reason for Nathalie not to be interested. Yet, even though he repeatedly asked Lizzy to find out how Nathalie felt about him, Nathalie always dodged the topic.

Nathan blurted out, "Book the first available flight."
The words surprised even him. Was he really ready to go back?
The secretary muttered, "So timid."
Two days later, Nathan's plane touched down at Capital Airport.

His young, beautiful wife had been unfaithful, and the son he'd raised for over twenty years turned out to be the result of her affair. Now, as he was getting a divorce, he found out she had already moved all their assets.
Meanwhile, Dawson International was struggling because Griffin's biological son, Cameron, had teamed up with Rowland
Corporation, forcing the company into overseas markets where they kept losing money due to lack of experience. Now, Dawson International was under siege from all sides, leaving Griffin stressed and bedridden.
Following Will's guidance, John stepped in to manage Dawson International. His first move was to bring Mr. Cameron back.
"Mr. Will said Cameron is the future of the Dawson family." John proclaimed.

When she arrived at Cameron's place, it was Greta who answered the door.

Greta eyed her warily, "Who are you? What do you want with him?"
