Chapter 638 Nathalie was feeling uneasy. "Back in the day, Dustin couldn't stand my father. Just to keep him from getting a piece of the Stewart family fortune, he didn't hesitate to go to cruel lengths against my parents. Now that I'm back to claim my father's rightful share, how could he ever be okay with that?" Nathan flashed a mischievous smile. "He's definitely not okay with it, but he really doesn't have a say." Nathalie looked at him with deep fondness and rested her head on his shoulder. "You've been backingup all along, haven't you?" Nathan sat upright, eyes on the road. "Sis, don't worry. I'll clear any hurdles that cyour way." "You've been so amazing to me. Have you ever thought about how lost I'd be if you left me?" Nathan shivered a little.
The mood suddenly got heavy.

Nathalie noticed the butler's silver hair and his age showed. She couldn't help but ask, "How long have you been with the family, Uncle?" "Miss, even though I'm quite old, I've only been with the Stewart family for a few years. The original butler left long ago." Nathalie thought to herself, "Regan went to such lengths to keep things under wraps. Now that everything's out in the open, it must be a huge blow to him." As the butler led Nathalie to the living room, they were about to step into the elevator when Ashley suddenly appeared.
She called out to Nathan, "Nathan." Both Nathan and Nathalie turned around.
Ashley approached them with a sorrowful expression and addressed Nathan, "Nathalie, could I have a word with Nathan alone?" Nathalie's face showed a hint of caution.
Nathan suddenly took Nathalie's hand and smiled, "Ashley, my Nathalie gets shy, so I'll stick with her to meet your granove Ashley looked at Nathalie with envy. "He really cares for you, Nathalie. Don't take that for granted." Nathalie stayed quiet. She knew just how much Nathan cared for her, and she didn't need anyone to remind her of that.
She led Nathan into the elevator.
Ashley's words left her feeling strangely unsettled.
The butler guided her to the study on the third floor and opened the door. "Ms. Nathalie, after you." Nathalie walked in and saw Regan sitting behind the desk in a black leather chair. In just a few days, he seemed to have aged a lot, with more gray hair, a sallow complexion, and a defeated demeanor Nathalie realized Regan must have been under immense pressure, forcing him to let her chome.
She wondered how Nathan managed to make this once-proud man so downcast, like a dog with its tail between its legs.

Nathan pulled out a chair for Nathalie, guiding her to sit Hom He remained standing. "Sis, please, have a seat."
Nathalie locked eyes with Regan, "I want to see my dady she said plainly. "You can," Regan replied.
The shock was so overwhelming that Nathalie was left speechless.
Regan glared at her, eyes filled with reluctance and disdain.
"Nathalie, losing to you stings. Hmph, someone as straightforward as you is nothing more than an ant to me." Nathalie took a deep breath. "Maybe I don't have your cunning, but I treat people with honesty. Sometimes, sincerity beats money and power."
