Chapter 410 Benjamin and Cameron teamed up to undermine Nathalie's business. Rowland Inc.'s deep pockets snatched away her resources, and even her signed clients started jumping ship. What was once a buzzing company now found itself eerily quiet.
Nathalie reached out to a few loyal clients to get to the bottom of things. They explained, "Ms. Nathalie, we love your work and truly want to keep working with you. But you've upset someone powerful who's now forbidding us from partnering with you. They're threatening to cut ties with us if we don't comply. We have hundreds of employees to think about; I'm really sorry." Nathalie, ever composed and understanding, replied, "I get it. Don't worry. I'll make the termination process as smooth as possible. A small compensation for the breach is enough. I won't make it hard on you." Perhaps Nathalie's poise struck a chord with them because they offered, "Ms. Nathalie, although our company can't officially work with you, I'd love for you to handle my personal wardrobe needs." Nathalie smiled warmly. "I promise you won't be disappointed. I'll design something perfect for you. When the time's right, I'd appreciate it if you could spread the word." "Absolutely." Once the client left, a glimmer of determination shone in Nathalie's eyes. "No matter how tough it gets, I'll get through this. Tfor a fresh start." The following day, Nathalie slimmed down her company, letting sstaff go but keeping her core team intact. The company shifted to a boutique and focused on custom orders.
Private commissions were something Rowland Corporation couldn't touch.
Benjamin assumed that after such a setback, Nathalie would crunning back to him. He thought it was the perfect chance to have her under his thumb.
But after waiting for over ten days with no word from her, his patience wore thin. He vented to Cameron, "Cameron, what kind of lousy advice was that? After all this pressure on her company, she's ignoringeven more." He sulked in Cameron's study, clearly annoyed.
Cameron was careful not to upset Benjamin, and tried to soothe him, "Nathalie is tough; she won't fold easily. If you really want to win her over, you've got to up the ante." en "To really break Nathalie, you need to leave her with no options. Only when she's completely cornered will she consider surrendering." Without much thought, Benjamin replied, "So, I should push her company to bankruptcy?" Cameron nodded. "Exactly." After Benjamin left, a flicker of something complex danced in Cameron's eyes. "Nathalie, I won't let you takedown." Cameron never dreamed Nathalie would fight back so fiercely. While he stirred up trouble, Nathalie didn't just sit back and take it. She quickly launched her own counterattack.
