Chapter 825 Cameron kept his cool, saying, "She was just following Nathalie's orders. She probably didn't even know what she was getting into." Greta, refusing to back down, yelled, "If you know what Nathalie's up to, why do you still let her get away with it?" "Greta, that's enough." Cameron snapped, his patience finally worn thin by her antics. "Is it that you don't trust yourself, or you don't trust me?" "Cindy's innocent, and I'm not going to let your tantrums hurt someone who doesn't deserve it." With that, Cameron turned to Cindy and gently said, "Cindy, why don't you head back to your room?" His voice softened noticeably as he addressed her.
Feeling threatened and insecure, Greta burst into tears and ran off. Cameron didn't chase after her; instead, he headed back to his own room.

Soon, a maid knocked on his door, urgent and breathless, "Cameron, madam's coughed up blood and is in a coma. It's critical." Cameron leapt out of bed and dashed to Greta's room as if his own life depended on it.
The next day, Nathalie, flanked by Dominick and Ford, strutted confidently toward Empire Holdings. Ford lugged a hefty briefcase filled with a thick stack of proposals.
Dominick eyed the proposals nervously, sighing, "We just got these done last night. Who knows if there are any mistakes? I heard Cameron got wind of this bid ages ago. They've had plenty of prep time, and he's a savvy guy. Going up against him might just be a waste." Nathalie smacked Dominick lightly on the back of the head, "Stop being so pessimistic and giving them all the credit." "Not everything's about strength. Sometimes, it's about luck. My love life's been pretty dry lately, so maybe my financial luck's about to turn around." Nathalie started to daydream, "Maybe Cameron will just back out of the race on his own." Dominick just rolled his eyes.
At Empire Holdings, Nathalie submitted her bid at the last possible second. She asked thatclient rep, "Has Dawson International put in their bid?" The rep rifled through the papers and shook his head, "Nope, nothing from them." Dominick's jaw dropped, "No way! Cameron wouldn't drop the ball like this." Nathalie shot him a look, "You give him too much credit." She checked her watch, "Bid opening's in two hours." If Cameron didn't show up in those two hours, Dawson International would miss their shot. Without this project, they'd be hanging by a thread.

Two hours later, the bids were opened. Without DawsonDawsonInternational in the mix, Nathalie's Stewart Enterprise snagged the win.
As Nathalie walked out of Empire Holdings, riding high on her success, Cameron cbarreling in, looking frazzled with his stunning assistant by his side. Seeing him in such a state, Nathalie couldn't help but smirk.
"Mr. Dawson, it's gover."
Cameron, eyes blazing and wild, shouted at Nathalie you could athalie "Nathalie, how stoopes so low?"
