Chapter 554

Nathalie was quietly taken aback. Ashley, who usually had a bossy demeanor towards her, was surprisingly friendly today. Quite odd, really.

Nathalie offered a polite smile, "Thanks."

Ashley guided Nathalie and Lizzy upstairs, and as they rode the elevator, Ashley finally voiced her curiosity, "Ms. Nathalie, what do you want with my grandfather?"

Nathalie's eyes flickered away from Ashley's hand, internally noting the absence of her wedding ring. "Just some things I need to confirm with him," Nathalie replied.

Ashley didn't push for more information and led her straight to Regan's study.

The old man was lively, with gold-rimmed glasses that gave him an air of scholarly elegance. When he saw Nathalie, he only paused for a moment, as if her visit was no surprise, then motioned for Ashley to leave.

"Ashley, you can go now."

Ashley, intrigued by her grandfather's calm demeanor, didn't question him further. She shut the door quietly as she exited.
