Chapter 784

Ashley's face was a storm of emotions, like her territory had just been overtaken. She shot Nathalie a frosty look. "Nathalie, I've told you, he's my fiancé. Why are you always eyeing someone else's fiancé? Don't you have any shame?"

Nathalie's face flushed with embarrassment, turning beet red under Ashley's barrage.

She never really doubted the bond between Ashley and Morris. After all, in another lifetime, they were husband and wife.

"I know he's your fiancé, but he's also my bro-"

"Brother? Stop making things up. If you meant anything to him, why haven't I ever heard him talk about you?"

Nathalie was at a loss for words. Ashley had a point. It did sting, but thinking about all the money Morris had made for her, still safe in the Maple Company account, she figured she had more significance than Ashley implied.

She decided to level with Ashley.

"Ashley, I've seen him. He needs my help," Nathalie pleaded, her eyes earnest. Ashley was caught off guard.

Despite not wanting Nathalie tangled up with Morris, she knew how cold Morris could be. Ever since he started his job behind those corporate walls, she had tried countless times to visit him, only to be turned away.
