?Chapter 807:


    Her gaze flitted briefly over Danna’s carefully curated outfit, a knowing smile ghosting her lips.


    Danna, seeing the amusement in Corrine’s eyes, felt a surge of irritation but forced herself to maintainposure. “It doesn’t matter if you don’t know me, Miss Hond,” she said coolly. “I’ve certainly heard plenty about you.” She gave Corrine a slow, scrutinizing once-over before continuing, “Abandoned at the altar and now unting your beauty to charm one big shot after another. Even Mr. Hopkins has fallen under your spell. Truly, your skills are… remarkable.”


    Ah, Corrine understood now. Another of Nate’s admirers—one of those troublesome ones.


    Corrine was never one to seek trouble—but if trouble came knocking, she had no qualms about sending it right back where it came from. “You think I seduced him?” she mused, tilting her head, her tone almost amused.


    Danna scoffed. “Oh, don’t tell me you’re going to im that Mr. Hopkins was the one who seduced you?” Her eyes gleamed with mockery. “Please. We all know you’re relying on nothing but your looks. Do you really think having Mr. Hopkins at your back makes you invincible? In the end, you’re nothing more than a ything, a distraction for his idle moments.”


    Before Corrine could reply, a deep voice,ced with cold amusement, cut through the air. “Whether she’s a ything or not doesn’t really matter,” the voice drawled. “What matters is—Corrine has her looks. What do you have? A sharp tongue? Or a face that could scare the moon from the sky?”


    Startled, Corrine turned to see Zeke standing behind her. Dressed in a perfectly tailored gray suit, he cut an imposing figure, his tall frame exuding effortless authority.


    Under the soft glow of the lights, his features were strikingly defined—sharp angles, unwavering eyes, and an air of quiet dominance honed by years in the brutal world of business.


    Though not as refined as Nate’s, Zeke’s face had its own appeal. While Nate had the presence of an eternal iceberg, Zeke was the first thaw of spring—just as chilling, yet unexpectedly refreshing.

    A murmur swept through the crowd. “Who is that?”


    “Could it be another lover Corrine is keeping behind Mr. Hopkins’ back? She was born to enchant men—just look at how easily they flock to her.”


    Leah, momentarily stunned, quickly gathered herself.


    She knew this man.


    Back in Pree High School, Zeke Cooper had been the school’s heartthrob, the one who had captured countless secret admirers.


    Someone gasped. “That’s Zeke Cooper—heir to the Cooper family from Pree City!”


    “The same Zeke Cooper who recently acquired Global Inc.?”


    “I read about him in a financial report recently. There was even a picture—he looks even better in person!”
