?Chapter 863:


    “Unnecessary attention?” Zeke tilted his head, amusement dancing in his gaze. “Or a certain someone’s attention?”


    Her stare turned cold.


    He knew exactly the answer.


    Seeing Corrine’s growing impatience, Zeke gave a small smile and suggested, “I’ve heard the steak here is pretty good. Want to give it a try?”


    “If you have something to say, please be straightforward, Mr. Cooper,” Corrine replied, her tone firm. She wasn’t in the mood for steak at all.


    “Did you injure yourself?” Zeke’s eyes moved to her right arm.


    Corrine’s mouth curved slightly, dismissing his concern. “It’s just a small sprain.”


    “You really should take better care of yourself,” Zeke said with a knowing look.


    “If you’re only interested in discussing unimportant things, then I must leave.” With that, Corrine stood up, ready to go.


    At that moment, a server came over and ced a ss of lemon water in front of each of them.


    Zeke ran his finger along the edge of his ss and spoke slowly. “The Cooper family has opened a hotel with smart technology. It’s not officially running yet, but you’re wee to visit anytime.”


    He added, “Ashton Group has long been the leader in the hotel business. They won’t be easy to challenge. For Ford Group to make an impact, they’ll need to be innovative. Smart tech holds potential, but only the Cooper family has pulled it off in the country. Seeing it firsthand would be useful for you, Miss Hond.”


    Corrine’s expression tightened. “How do you know about Ford Group’s ns?”


    “Even in Pree City, the news about the wealthiest family in Lyhaton possibly changing hands has spread,” Zeke said without a hint of surprise.


    Fresh updates avable at galnoνe?s?c?m


    The message was clear: the Ford family’s secrets were out in the open.


    A cold glimmer shed in Corrine’s eyes when she heard his words.


    Bad news spread like wildfire.


    After Andromache’sments at the Lyhaton Elite Business Meeting, the Ford family had be easy prey for every opportunistic predator. People were willing to do anything for power or wealth, driven by their greed and ambition.


    Corrine couldn’t help but admire Andromache’s cleverness.


    With a few offhand remarks, she had turned the Ford family into a target for countless rivals.


    While she could handle one family, like the Beckers, she wondered if she could fend off so many others.


    Zeke stared at Corrine, his gaze unwavering. After taking a sip of water, he spoke quietly. “The Ford family is under attack from all sides. You know you can’t handle this on your own.”


    “And?” Corrine asked, her voice sharp.
