Reborn From Oblivion (Nellie and Cameron) novel Chapter 700

Frankie closed her eyes, nodding with a sense of relief.

"So, are you here because of him?"

Nathalie's expression turned somber. "Everyone says he's just a puppet, lacking feelings, without a soul. Frankie, tell me, when he laughed and chatted with you, did you ever feel happiness?"

The matriarch's face hardened, and after a long pause, she finally said, "He's just a puppet. You should know that every action and word is programmed by the person behind him. Nathalie, you shouldn't develop feelings for him."

Nathalie countered passionately, "He's such a wonderful person—so dutiful, so kind, so cheerful... When he talks to us, there's genuine affection in his eyes. Tell me, what programmer could create a puppet so real and full of emotion?"

Frankie responded, "That just means the programmer behind him is very skilled."

Nathalie hesitated, then asked, "Do you know who created Nathan?"

The matriarch shivered involuntarily. Her worst fear had come true.

"I... I don’t know."

"And where is your grandson?"

The matriarch said nothing.

Nathalie pressed on, "I mean your actual grandson—Nathan?"

The matriarch's face went pale.

Nathalie held her gaze, refusing to let her look away.

The matriarch said nothing.

Nathalie stood up. "Madam, please stay out of the Stewart family's issues. You're not opposing me; you're opposing your own daughter."

Frankie caught the underlying message in Nathalie's words.

Was Nathan the mastermind behind Nathalie's attempt to reclaim power in the Stewart family?

Frankie's hand trembled beneath her sleeve.

With those words, Nathalie turned and left without looking back.
