?Chapter 1063:


    Corrine quickly took his hand, feeling the warmth of his dry palm.


    “What if I say yes?”


    “It’ll be your own private ind,” Nate said, his voice light and easy.


    His words were casual but carried a promise that couldn’t be ignored.


    A flutter ran through Corrine’s chest. “Beautiful views are meant to be shared with everyone—they’re what make them special. And honestly, I’m not one to be selfish. Having you here with me is all I need.”


    “But I am greedy,” Nate confessed, kneeling beside her, his hand resting gently on her slim ankle. He pulled out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sand off her feet. “I used to think seeing you once a day was enough. Then I started wanting to spend more time with you every day. Now, I just want you forever.”


    Not far away, Mandy stood frozen, stunned by what she had just heard. Mandy hadn’t expected this kind of confession, and it left her speechless.


    Corrine looked down at him, her eyes sparkling with joy, her smile reaching all the way to her eyes.


    From the balcony of his room, Vulture loungedzily, catching a brief glimpse of the tender moment between Corrine and Nate in the distance.


    His gaze sharpened slightly, and an unspoken emotion flickered in his eyes. Muttering a curse, he pulled out a cigarette and lit it with his lighter.


    Just then, his phone beeped. It was a call from Lone Ranger.


    He answered, and Lone Ranger’s youthful voice came through. “Got some good news and some bad news. Which one do you want first?”


    Still reeling from the public disy between Corrine and Nate, Vulture craved some distraction. “Cut to the chase, just give me the good news!”


    Lone Ranger said, “Someone’s just posted a bounty of a hundred million dors. Anonymous.”


    I??è$? ￠??t?€я? 1n ??lπoνεl?.c??


    Strangely, Vulture’s heart skipped a beat, a heavy sense of dread washing over him.


    Before he could react, Lone Ranger hit him with the bad news. “The target is Corrine.”


    “Damn!” Vulture swore, unable to hold back. “Who the hell put a bounty on her?”


    “The client’s anonymous; we can’t track them,” Lone Ranger answered, the sound of frantic typing in the background. “But the location points to Independent Continent.”


    It was clear that Corrine’s presence had unwittingly drawn a lot of people’s attention.


    No matter the reason behind this threat, Corrine was now in a perilous and dangerous situation.


    “We’re not taking this job!” Vulture hissed, taking a long drag from his cigarette. The smoke curled up, briefly clouding the intensity in his eyes. “Find out who has the guts to target Corrine!”


    “Got it,” Lone Ranger answered sharply.


    Just as Vulture was about to hang up, Lone Ranger suddenly remembered something important. “By the way, how did Corrine get mixed up with Nate?”
