Chapter 578 Ashley said, "Well, I haven't seen him show that side yet."

Regan let out a heavy sigh, "We can't put all our eggs in one basket with him."

Seeing Regan, usually as solid as a rock, now looking so stressed and defeated for the first time, Ashley felt a pang of worry. "Grandpa, what's the deal with Nathalie and our Stewart family?"

Regan's face fell immediately. "She has nothing to do with the Stewart family," he snapped, his voice tinged with an unusual anger.

Ashley hesitated, then cautiously said, "Grandpa, I overheard your chat with Nathalie that day. I know she's part of the Stewart family bloodline. Whose child is she?"
