Chapter 519
Mason and Gavin stood with the air of authority that only comes with age, silently sizing up Nathalie, as if trying
to read her every move.
Nathalie wasn't about to play the part of the dutiful youngster or act like sstarstruck fan fawning over a
billionaire. With a calm face that gave nothing away, she spoke with a surprising firmness, "Nathan's been
working himself to the bone recently. He's exhausted and sleeping more than usual. He wakes up grumpy, and
none of us dare to bother him. If Mason has something crucial to discuss, he can pass it through me, and I'll
make sure Nathan gets the message." Her voice was soft, yet it carried an unexpected weight that made Mason
pause. Benjamin, catching sight of Nathalie after stapart, couldn't help but notice how she seemed
even more captivating, the sharpness she once had replaced by a softer allure that drew him in even more. He
swallowed nervously, trying to break the ice, "Hey, Nathalie, it's been too long."
Nathalie shot back, "Mr. Nathan's from a high-standing family, always carrying himself like he's a notch above
everyone else. I'm careful not to get too close to you, Benjamin, in case | end up caught in one of your games."
Feeling awkward, Benjamin stammered, "I made bad choices before, letting Cameron's lies get to me. | treated
you unfairly, Nathalie, and I'm sorry. It won't happen again."

Benjamin's confidence deflated instantly.
Mason scoffed, "So you remember you're married, huh? But you don't greet your elders? Is this how you
welcguests?"
"What would you havecall you?" Nathalie asked, her tone steady and unyielding.
"Nathan is my grandson. You should know what to call me," Mason retorted, his anger flaring.
Nathalie knitted her brows, puzzled, "But my husband toldhis mom passed away when he was young, his
dad ran off with a nightclub
hostess and ignored him completely. Oh, and his stepmom working
was downright evil into with
traffickers to sell him into a gang,
where life was hell."
Nathalie's gentle gaze turned razor-sharp as she looked at Myla, "Are you the stepmother he was talking about?"
Caught off guard, Myla turned as white as a sheet, quickly shaking her head, "Not me, not me."
Nathalie shifted her gaze to Gavin next, "Did you cheat with a hostess and drive your wife to her death?"
Gavin's face turned a dark shade, as years of hidden guilt felt exposed under Nathalie's scrutiny.
"Nathalie " Mason burst out, seething with anger, "Since when do youngsters speak to their elders like this?"
Nathalie collected herself, recalling Nathan's clenched fists and tense veins just moments before. He had always
been gentle, which made his quest for revenge all the more deliberate and controlled. He was too refined for his
own good.
But Nathalie, with her street-smart ways, knew how to hit where it hurts. She looked Mason in the eye and
smiled, "So, Mason, is it normal for elders to treat their own family like that?"
Mason was caught off guard,
