NovelOnlineChapter 411
As | drove back on the highway, | went over everything about Nathan in my head.
The original plan was to go public around the end of October, and Miss Chancellor was probably returning home
at just this time, planning to marry
Nathan.
#f1 hadn't shown up, they'd be a power couple, celebrating both business and personal happiness.
Nathan would have it all: a thriving career and a loving family.
But all of this happened just because | showed up.
1 threw off Nathan's plans and put him in bad graces with the Chancellor Family.
If | really am the reason, what am | supposed to do now?
When | got back to Hachester, night had already fallen.
Ever since we broke up, Nathan had hardly ever contacted me.
During this time, he was probably facing his own demons, going through sdark days.
As soon as | got off the highway, | put my pride aside and called Nathan.

“Victoria!”
There was a hint of joy in his voice as he said, “I thought you'd never reach out toagain.”
“Did something happen with your company? | saw online that your IPO didn’t go through,” | asked him straight
up.
His voice sounded rough. “Yeah, there were sissues inside the company. We're looking for new partners
now.”
“I want to see you,” | said. | knew this wasn’t something we could sort out over the phone, and a bold idea was
already forming in my mind.
I still had cash on hand | hadn't invested yet, and if Nathan was really in a tight spot, | wouldn't mind throwing it
into his company.
In my previous life, he was the top dog on the wealth rankings. He never disappointed.
Later on, maybe because of sgovernment crackdown, he faded from the spotlight fast-but his fortune was
still nothing to scoff at.
“Now?” Nathan's voice was more delighted than surprised.
“Yeah, the restaurant we went to last time. I'm heading over now,” | said, then hung up.
By the t| pulled up to the restaurant, it was already around eight. Nathan-Mr. Punctual himself-still hadn't
arrived, which honestly surprised me.
| wasn’t in any hurry, so | just ordered a few dishes and settled in to wait for him.
At eight-thirty sharp, he hurried in, clearly in a rush.
It had only been a few days, but he'd lost sweight-still, it didn’t dull that confidence or the sharp edge he
always carried.
Nathan's eyes met mine, and they still burned with that sheat.
| couldn’t help but worry. Once he sat down, | pushed a cup of tea toward him. “So, what's really going on with
your company?” | asked.
Nathan let out a sigh. “The Chancellor Family used their money to pressure me. My partner got mad, said |

now he wants to split. The IPO’s probably off the table for now.”
“So, do you need funds to restart things?” | asked.
Nathan nodded. “Yeah, there's a two billion gap. Speople are interested in investing, but they're still on the
fence”
Hearing that number, my heart clenched. The most | could pull together was 1.2 billion.
Sure, with Nathan's skills, he could probably land new investors, but the real problem was whether the
Chancellor Family would make a move.
They'd treated him like the perfect son-in-law and pinned all their hopes on him, only for him to bail at the last
minute. Who wouldn't be pissed?
The Chancellor Family's anger would be through the roof, and Nathan wasn’t in any position to take them
| paused for a moment, then said, “I've got scash on hand. I'm thinking about investing in your company.”
right now
Nathan stared at me, more shocked than happy. “Victoria, don’t be impulsive. You should keep your money for
yourself. Things are pretty chaotic on my end right now. If things go south, I'll just have to shut down and go
bankrupt. Honestly, I'm not too worried-with my skills, I'll land on my feet wherever | go.”
“No, Nathan, you're young, driven, and guys like you don’t caround often. You're destined for so much more
than this,” | said, trying to lift him up.
Nathan froze. For a second, the corners of his eyes turned red, and he dropped his gaze, refusing to meet my
eyes.
Maybe it sounded cheesy to say that now, but | knew he was at a low point and needed someone to believe in
him.
| reached out and wrapped my fingers around his. His fingertips were still burning hot.
