Dustin was on edge. "Ashley, the McCoy family promised to help you, so why hasn't anything happened yet?"

Just then, the receptionist buzzed in. "Sir, there's a lady here who says she's Mr. Morris's secretary." Dustin lit up. "Send her in right away."

The woman who walked in was strikingly beautiful but had a frosty demeanor. Her first words were, "My master says if the Stewart family wants to fix their mess, there's only one way: a grand reunion." With that, she turned and left.

Dustin scratched his head. "A grand reunion? What's that supposed to mean?"

The shareholders exchanged puzzled looks, all clueless.

Regan, on the other hand, went white as a sheet.

The idea of a grand reunion meant tracking down their lost relatives. But doing that could drag up the Stewart family's old scandal. Wouldn't that make them the talk of the town for all the wrong reasons? Regan was hesitant to take that step unless it was a last resort.

After the meeting, Regan called Ashley into his office.

He was both stunned and

suspicious. "How does he know about the Stewart family's secret? It's been buried so deep, how could he possibly know?" He kept repeating the question, a mix of admiration and fear towards the mysterious young man from the McCoy family he had never met.

"Did you tell him, Ashley? Be honest with me. Did you spill the beans about our family scandal?"

Ashley looked hurt. "Grandpa, honestly, I've only heard bits and pieces about the scandal and don't know the full story. There's no way I could have told anyone."

Regan was stumped. "Then how does he know? If it wasn't us, it must've been Nathalie. That woman, always stirring up trouble."

Ashley chimed in, "Grandpa, from what I know, he stays in the basement and rarely sees anyone. Nathalie wouldn't have had a chance to meet him."

Regan was dumbfounded. "Then how does he know such a closely guarded secret?"

Thinking it over, Regan realized they needed to trace it back to the source. Eagerly, he asked Ashley, "Tell me, what kind of person is he?"

Ashley recalled the enigmatic man in

the basement "Even with his

disability, you wouldn't know it from the way he carries himself. He's tall

BUT

and slender, always standing straight as an arrow. I've never seen his full face, but even from the side, he's incredibly handsome, the best I've ever seen. And his presence? It's regal, more so than any rich kid I've ever met. Plus..."

Ashley paused, taking a breath before continuing. "He's really reserved, doesn't talk much. But

when he does, every word seems to carry a ton of weight. He nevernoveldrama

wastes breath."

Regan waved off the description of his looks. "What about his skills? From what you've noticed, is he

really as extraordinary as the Stewart family legends say?"
