?Chapter 857:


    Jayden suddenly spoke up, his voice sharp. “What’s going on with the Becker family?”


    Corrine paused for a moment, then exined everything. Concerned that her uncles might me Nate for his actions, she quickly added, “Honestly, even if he hadn’t done what he did, I would’ve. And the Becker family’s losses might go beyond just money.” Her words hung in the air, leaving a heavy silence in the room.


    After a long pause, Jayden’s cold voice broke the quiet. “Corrine, cancel the marriage arrangement. Leave Nate.”


    “Why?” Corrine asked calmly, her eyes steady and defiant.


    Jayden stared at her, not blinking, his voice like ice. “Because you and Nate are worlds apart.”


    Corrine let out a soft chuckle. “And what exactly does it mean to be the same kind of people?”


    Sitting between them, Waldo could feel the tension building. He quickly tried to steer the conversation elsewhere. “It’s time for lunch. How about we grab some—”


    Before he could finish, Jayden’s sharp re cut him off.


    Waldo slumped, frustrated, resting his chin in his hand. The weight of his elder brother’s gaze was always overwhelming.


    “Nate is not a good guy; he’s a threat. Being with him puts you in danger,” Jayden said tly.


    Although Nate hadn’t directly targeted the Becker family, the actions of Moses and Zack clearly showed where he stood. His bold move against the Becker family had been entirely to get back at them for Corrine.


    But such actions weren’t a gift to her. In fact, they could spell disaster. The Hopkins family might already know about Corrine. If that were the case, anyone out for revenge against Nate could see her as a pawn. No one could predict the kind of danger she might face. If other members of the Hopkins family also set their sights on Corrine, how long could the Ford family keep her safe? There were no answers.


    Corrine stared hard at Jayden. “But who really decides what’s right or wrong? People still can’t agree on it, can they? Isn’t it all just based on personal judgment?”

    Jayden’s lips were pressed tightly together as he stared at Corrine with dark, focused eyes. After a long pause, he finally spoke in a soft, measured tone. “Have you really thought this through? Even if it means putting yourself in danger, you won’t look back and regret it?”


    Although he had privately agreed with Nate to stay out of their rtionship, there were still things he needed to say. He couldn’t simply let Corrine charge ahead without speaking his mind.


    “Of course I won’t,” Corrine replied with a calm smile, her eyes shining with firm resolve. “Uncle Jayden, you know how I am. I’m as stubborn as theye.”


    Jayden studied her carefully for a moment before answering, “I just hope you won’t regret this one day.”


    “There won’t be any regret,” Corrine said quietly. She was confident in her decision, convinced that Nate would never turn his back on her.
