I Am the Sweetheart of Mr. CEO-Chapter 396: Reunion with Nathan Leafcastle (Part 4)
Liliana Davis pulled her in front of the mirror in the foyer, stood behind her, and placed her hands on Sally Dalton’s shoulders. "Look at yourself, such a young and beautiful, elegant, and knowledgeable girl... How could you lose to Vera Wave? Sometimes, you are just a little too gentle. There’s a saying in Ebba, ’a man pursuing a woman is like crossing a mountain, while a woman pursuing a man is like crossing a thin veil.’ Sometimes a girl has to be a bit proactive. Don’t tell me you’re really willing to give up?"
Sally Dalton raised her face and looked at herself in the mirror, but what flashed before her eyes was Nathan Leafcastle’s face.
They met at a college in Singapore, and from their first meeting, Nathan Leafcastle left a deep impression on her.
He was calm, intelligent, insightful...
Even as a student, he already exhibited an extraordinary leadership style.
From college till now, Sally Dalton had been in love with this man for six years; talking about giving up, how could she bear it?
"Don’t worry." Liliana Davis smiled at Sally Dalton in the mirror, "Nathan has already promised me to forget Vera, and I’ll help you too. As long as you don’t give up, you’ll be the daughter-in-law of our Leafcastle family."
Sally Dalton nodded, meeting her eyes in the mirror.

Rushing to drive to the company, taking the elevator upstairs, and hurrying into the office, Nathan Leafcastle still held the car keys in his hand as he took the documents from his assistant.
The assistant had just received the documents, and given Nathan Leafcastle’s specific instructions, he called Nathan immediately after obtaining them.
The assistant handed him a glass of water, "This is the list of the other three companies involved in the Lush Island project. In terms of strength, Walter Wave’s company isn’t the strongest."
Nathan Leafcastle turned to the next page and his eyebrow immediately twitched when he saw the words Ashton Real Estate.
"Ashton! They are involved in this project too?"
"Yes." The assistant placed the water on his desk, "Ashton was originally the strongest and most qualified company to take this project. Later, inexplicably, it ended up in Walter Wave’s hands."
At this point, the assistant paused.
"Sir, do you think this matter... could be related to Ashton Real Estate?"
Nathan Leafcastle looked up, his sharp black eyes falling on the assistant’s face.
"What do you mean?"
"Originally, in Imperial City, only Walter Wave’s company could barely compete with Ashton. It was due to Walter Wave’s bankruptcy that Ashton acquired the market share previously held by Walter Wave, becoming the real giant in the Imperial City’s real estate sector. Even our Barker had to respect them. Moreover, the Ilan Building was acquired by Christoper Cooper and is now the Glimmer Building." The assistant shrugged slightly, "This matter shouldn’t be entirely coincidental, right? At that time, Ashton also invested a lot of manpower and resources in this project, maybe it was a lure-to-deceive strategy."
Retracting his gaze, he placed the documents on the table.
Nathan Leafcastle propped his hands on the desk, fingers intertwined, staring at the documents, his gaze falling on the words Ashton Real Estate, gradually turning cold.
"If that’s really the case, I won’t let Ashton go!"
"But..." The assistant hesitated slightly, "Miss Yi is already engaged to Kris Cooper. If you target Ashton, will she misunderstand?"
Nathan Leafcastle took a deep breath, the image of Vera with Kris Cooper embracing flashed in his mind from the video, making him clench his hands tightly.
"I can’t let her marry the son of our enemy!"
