"Mom doesn't love him," Nina said, her words hanging in the air as she turned and walked away, like a whisper of a ghost, arriving and departing without a trace.
Cameron stood there, bewildered. Why had Nina shared this with him? It seemed like something that shouldn't matter to him, yet hearing it felt like a flower was slowly blooming in his heart. His weathered eyes, as if cleansed by spring rain, gradually lit up with a smile.
He wondered to himself, if Nathalie still loved him, could he win her back? Could they live together, watching her don beautiful dresses every day, basking in a peaceful life as time quietly passed by? It didn't seem too shabby.
News of Nathan and Nathalie's wedding quickly reached the ears of the old patriarchs of the Rowland and Stewart families. Regan was livid, tossing his phone aside in anger. "The Rowlands have really crossed the line. They've been pushing for a match with our Ashley, and now that everyone thought Ashley and Nathan were an item, Nathan goes and marries someone else. How's Ashley supposed to find a husband now?"
In a fit of rage, the patriarch ordered all business ties with the Rowland family to be severed: "From this day forward, the Stewarts and the Rowlands are done. We're pulling all our investments from the Rowlands, and any joint projects will be reassigned."
This decision sent ripples through both families.
The Rowlands, already in a financial bind thanks to Morris, were left with hardly any viable business after the split with the Stewarts.
Mr. Mason, unwilling to let his life's work go down the drain, decided to swallow his pride and approach Nathan to find a way out.
For this meeting, Mason had his staff prepare lavish gifts.
He also insisted that his son and family join him in visiting Nathan and Nathalie.
Gavin and Benjamin, having their own issues with Nathan, weren't keen on making amends. Gavin said, exasperated, "Dad, Nathan hates me. Going to him is just setting myself up for humiliation. He's not going to let us off that easily after the trouble he's caused for the Rowlands."
