Chapter 251

Although Nathan had brushed off Ashley, Regan found himself liking Nathan more and more. "This young man's got ambition.'

He admired men who were self-reliant and independent. Too often, heirs to wealthy families sacrificed their marriages to advance their careers-Regan included. Nathalie might have upset Nathan, but it didn't dampen her enthusiasm to work hard for him. With a polite gesture, she invited Regan to go ahead.
