Chapter 868

Ashley sprang to her feet, eyes blazing like fire as she glared at Nathalie. "Nathalie, what's your deal? Do you even realize how out of line you're being? He's my fiancé, so back off."

Nathalie stayed cool, pouring herself a glass of wine. Just as she was about to take a sip, Morris leaned forward, his long, graceful fingers gently pressing down on her glass.

"Don't drink," he said softly.

Nathalie gave a wry smile, meeting his gaze. "Why don't you go ahead and tell her about us?"

Morris replied, "Since when do we need to explain our business to anyone?"

Ashley stared at Morris, her disbelief turning to shock. She'd always thought his aloofness was just part of his mysterious charm, not realizing he simply couldn't be bothered with her.

Her face went white. "Nathan, I'm your fiancée..."

Morris finally turned to Ashley. "Ashley, I make my own decisions about my life. Not even my father can tell me what to do."

His words left both Dean and Ashley feeling uneasy and exposed.
