?Chapter 1122:


    Corrine caught the subtle edge in her voice. “You and your father fighting?”


    Karina pressed her lips together, then smoothly changed the subject. “By the way, do you know the man from yesterday?”


    Corrine took a measured sip of coffee. “Not personally. He’s an heir from a coteral branch of the Hopkins family. Nate dealt with that branch because of their mistake. He wanted revenge and tried to use me against Nate.”


    She sighed. “That’s how you got dragged into this mess.”


    Karina didn’t me her. If anything, she pitied Darrion. To stand against Nate knowing he’d lose—how foolish.


    She swirled the coffee in her cup, a memory tugging at the edges of her mind. “Yesterday, I overheard him on the phone. The name he mentioned… it sounded familiar, but I can’t ce it. Let me think for a moment.”


    Corrine’s brow lifted slightly, curiosity sparking in her gaze.


    “Andromache,” Karina said after a moment of thought.


    Corrine’s expression briefly turned cold at the mention of the name.


    Karina noticed the change and realized Corrine was familiar with Andromache. “Andromache has been secretly supplying Darrion with bomb-making materials,” she continued. “I suspect she’s involved in this kidnapping. Even if she didn’t do it herself, she’s definitely been manipting things behind the scenes.”


    “Andromache is Darrion’s aunt, after all,” Corrine said, her eyes flickering with sarcasm.


    Thanks to Andromache, Darrion—hindered by his disabilities—had managed to evade Nate’s thorough search.


    Nate had acted decisively against Darrion’s family, sweeping through their ranks in one night to prevent any leaks. This sudden action caught them off guard, leaving no chance to retaliate.


    Nate and his team remained unaware of Andromache’s involvement and believed Darrion’s escape was a stroke of luck.

    Corrine recalled how Darrion’s family had ambushed them at the vacation vi, triggered by a slip from Andromache.


    It was now clear that Darrion’s quest for revenge was yet another of Andromache’s schemes.


    Darrion’s talent for makingplex explosives highlighted his intelligence. Tragically, his deep hatred made him vulnerable to Andromache’s maniption.


    Keeping Andromache close was bound to lead to disaster.


    “Andromache is also Nate’s aunt, isn’t she?” Karina muttered, realization dawning. She pped her thigh and sprang to her feet with sudden understanding. “I remember now! She’s the same woman you mentioned before—the one who was close to Leah, right?”


    Corrine looked at the animated Karina and confirmed, “Yes.”


    “That woman is a meddlesome ghost, always causing trouble!” Karina exhaled sharply, frustration clear in her voice.
