Reborn From Oblivion by Christia Muray

Chapter 726

Benjamin was on high alert, his face tense as he sat in silence for what felt like ages. Nathalie wasn't rushing him. She waited patiently, her demeanor calm.

Finally, Benjamin couldn't hold back any longer. With a mix of reluctance and frustration, he broke the silence, "That business manual should belong to us, the Rowland family."

"Why?" Nathalie shot back, her confidence unwavering. "Nathan's belongings were his to decide. He chose to give them to me, so why should they end up with the Rowland family?"

Benjamin, clearly agitated, retorted, "He didn't have the right to make that decision. He was just a puppet, no legal capacity whatsoever."

Nathalie wasn't backing down. "But he was the original author of the manual. The copyright naturally belongs to him."

In his frustration, Benjamin blurted out, "He didn't write that manual! Did he even have the skills? He was just something my brother created."

Nathalie's expression shifted, her face stiffening as disbelief washed over her. "What did you say?"

"You mean-Nathan was something your brother created?"

Flustered, Benjamin grabbed a cup of coffee, gulped it down too quickly, and yelped in pain, spitting it out in a messy spray.

Nathalie's gaze was steady, though beneath her calm exterior, emotions churned like a storm. "What's your brother's name?" Her voice wavered slightly.
