?Chapter 439:


    Hearing this, the executive no longer pressed for a change of spokesperson. It seemed unlikely anyone else could draw the same level of attention as Jolene.


    After the executive left, Corrine turned on herptop to check thetest on Jolene.


    As expected, the forums were awash with harsh criticisms.


    A post about bullying at Pree High School particrly caught Corrine’s eye. Her brows knitted together, a cold glint appearing in her eyes.


    As noon drew near, Karina and Jolene arrived at Corrine’s office.


    “Aren’t you going to address the trending posts on social media?” Corrine questioned Jolene.


    “External opinions are just noise,” Jolene responded nonchntly with a lollipop in her mouth.


    “They can’t control me.” In other words, she was unfazed by the bacsh.


    “You certainly have an open mind.” Corrine chuckled appreciatively.


    “Can we change the subject?” Karina interjected suddenly.


    Both Corrine and Jolene turned to her.


    “Natasha’s mother will be back next month,” Karina said.


    “We need to ensure her life is peaceful after her return.” At this, the atmosphere in the office grew noticeably cooler.


    “I’ve already sent someone to find a new house for Mrs. Dixon,” Corrine said.


    “Pree City is no longer a ce she can call home.”

    The incident from years ago had left asting impression. Although the Ford family had managed to smooth things over, the memory lingered in the minds of the townspeople. Continuing to live in Pree City meant that Natasha and her mother, Mrs. Dixon, would always be haunted by that past event.


    After sharing dinner, Corrine, Jolene, and Karina returned to their respective homes.


    Upon arriving at her apartment, Corrine heard a knock at the door. She opened it to find Matias standing there.


    “Good evening, Miss Hond,” Matias greeted her with respect.


    Corrine nodded slightly, her attention drawn to the two men in ck behind him. They were carrying arge, mysterious box.


    Matias noticed her intrigued expression and quickly exined, “Mr. Hopkins took the liberty of collecting these movie collections for you. They include both released and unreleased films.”


    Surprise flickered across Corrine’s face. She hadn’t expected Nate to take her offhandment about being out of touch with good movies to heart. What was even more astonishing was that Nate had personally arranged for someone to find these movies.


    “Put it in the apartment next door,” Corrine directed.


    As she led them to Nate’s apartment door, she realized that she didn’t know the keypad’s unlock code. It was embarrassing.


    “Why don’t you try your birthday?” Matias suggested.


    On a whim, Corrine entered her birthday, and to her surprise, the door unlocked. Emotion rippled through her as she tried to suppress a smile.


    Matias and the others took a few minutes to set up and test the equipment.


    “The setup is ready. You can use it anytime,” Matias respectfully informed Corrine.


    “Thank you,” Corrine responded.
