Chapter 485:
Leah turned to Jocelynn, her voice urgent.noveldrama
“Did you find out everything I asked?”
Jocelynn gave a firm nod.
“Meg is visiting the local orphanage this afternoon. You can accompany her then.”
Leah exhaled slowly, nodding.
If she could get close to Meg, she might be able to secure Calan’s investment for Ashton Group.
Perhaps then, she could smooth things over with Bruce.
Corrine returned to her room, her expression softening the moment she saw Nate standing there, arms open.
The coldness in her eyes melted away, replaced by something warm and tender.
She stepped forward, sinking into his embrace.
Resting her head against his chest, she took a slow breath, inhaling the scent that always made her feel safe, as if the weight of the world had lifted just a little.
“Are you tired?” Nate murmured, pressing a gentle kiss to her forehead.
Corrine nodded, still nestled against him.
“A little.”
“Then close your eyes and rest,” he suggested, brushing his fingers through her hair.
She sighed.

“I cannot. We will be disembarking soon. I need to pack.”
Nate kissed her forehead once more before stepping back.
“I will take a call. See you soon.”
With a small nod, Corrine watched him leave, then turned toward the bathroom to freshen up.
A sudden knock at the door interrupted her.
She opened it to find Chelsea standing there, Callie right behind her.
“Aunt Chelsea.”
Corrine greeted her calmly, stepping aside.
Chelsea walked in without hesitation, scanning the room with sharp, assessing eyes. She even peered into the bathroom, her search obvious.
Corrine leaned against the doorframe, a knowing smirk playing at her lips.
“He is gone. You do not need to check.”
She made no effort to conceal the truth—Nate had spent the night with her.
Chelsea’s expression tightened, her posture stiffening. Her voice was firm, serious.
“Corrine, I’m not against you seeing a guy. But listen to me—he is not the one for you.”
Corrine arched a brow, unbothered. She had expected as much.
“Do you know him?” she asked coolly.
“He’s Nate Hopkins. Everyone in the four major families in Lyhaton is familiar with him,” Chelsea said.
“Corrine, this man is too dangerous. You can’t be with him.”
Corrine blinked, a mix of defiance and uncertainty in her eyes.
“But we’re already committed,” she responded.
