The presentation was a breath of fresh air, blending animations and illustrations to make the slides not just informative, but also slick and engaging.


    She spoke English effortlessly,ying out her thoughts on thepany''s past wins, current pitfalls, and her game-changing solutions with crystal-clear conviction.


    The shareholders, who originally looked at her with doubt, were left speechless. Michael was the first to break the silence with enthusiastic apuse.


    Nathalie nailed her report, earning herself a round of apuse from everyone. After a humble thank you, she settled back into her seat.


    Michael leaned over with a warm smile, "Ms. Nathalie, I can''t wait to see how you lead thepany. I bet your department will really take off under your guidance."


    As the meeting wrapped up, a few of the younger shareholders came over to express their admiration for Nathalie. Yet, there were some, led by Regan, who acted as if she wasn''t even there.


    Lizzy, who was there with Nathalie, picked up on the vibes and gave her a heads- up, "Sis, those old-timers seem a bit grumpy about you. But the younger crowd? They''re pretty impressed. You should definitely mingle with them more."


    Nathalie gave a knowing smile, “Lizzy, always remember, business is like a battlefield. When big money''s at stake, there are no forever friends or enemies. And what you see isn''t always the whole truth."


    Lizzy squinted, clearly puzzled.


    Nathalie leaned in closer, whispering, "Nathan once told me, the biggest twist in business is betrayal. So, those folks who seemed friendly today? Get Dominick to do a little digging on them for me."


    Lizzy''s eyes widened in surprise, and she gave Nathalie a thumbs-up, "Sis, you''re really bing a powerhouse."


    Nathalieughed, a bit wistfully, "If I had a choice, I wouldn''t want to be so sharp."


    If Nathan were here, she wouldn''t have to shoulder this burden alone.


    Still, Nathalie had taken the first step in cementing her ce in thepany.


    What she didn''t seeing was how much her life would shift with her new position.


    She thought she was just attending a meeting and giving a report, but next thing she knew, she was trending on social media.


    The media outlets painted her as a hero, highlighting her rise from humble beginnings, being ditched by a former fiancé, and then losing her husband, only to be one of the hottest prospects to inherit Stewart Enterprise.


    Cameron, caught in the whirlwind, got a nudge from his assistant to look at the trending news.


    Seeing Nathalie''s report all over the inte left him stunned.


    He, a man who had never taken women seriously in business.


    Yet, Nathalie''s drive, her deep dive into the Dawson, Rond, and


    Stewart family businesses, e


    made him, a veteran in the game, feel a bit outssed.


    For the first time, he was genuinely wowed by Nathalie''s talent.


    When Greta walked into the room, the screen was showing Nathalie''s presentation. Hermanding presence and sharp featuresdeft Greta dumbfounded.


    Jealousy quickly bubbled up inside her.


    Especially after seeing the admiration in Cameron''s eyes, Greta couldn''t help but feel uneasy.


    "Cameron, there''s no way Nathalie could''ve written that report herself. I bet Nathan did it for her," Greta said with a tinge of skepticism.


    Cameron replied, "Even if someone else penned the report, her off-the-cuff delivery was powerful and convincing."


    With a hint of surprise, he added, "I never imagined that gentle woman had such a fierce and determined side."
