Chapter 777

Nathalie shot a chilly glance her way. "When Paige talked about that unfortunate event, she was practically glowing. It wasn't regret; it was your little stroke of luck."

Paige's smile dropped immediately. "Ashley, how can you question my care for Nathan? I am his mother, after all..."

"Stepmother, to be exact," Nathalie corrected sharply.

Paige's face flushed with embarrassment. "Still, why would I mistreat a child who's lost his mother?"

"Oh, but there's plenty of reason. If Nathan were healthy and thriving, with his intelligence and charm, he'd undoubtedly be the Rowland family's heir, as long as the elders aren't blind. Only with him sidelined does your dimwitted son stand a chance."

Paige was livid, almost gasping for air.

"You... you don't know the whole story. How can you just spout such nonsense?" Nathalie snapped, "If you don't want to be accused, then why not spill the truth?" The charged atmosphere fell into a heavy silence.
