Chapter 1160:


    Andromache was arrogant and demanding, but she wasn’tpletely useless. Even though the family had pushed her aside for years, she’d carved out a ce for herself on the Independent Continent by spotting business opportunities. She’d proven she knew what she was doing.


    But this time, it was Corrine who had beaten her.


    Andromache had been caught off guard for just a moment, but Corrine’s strategy had worked like a charm.


    Bryant smiled wider, his expression cold as ever. “How do you know this isn’t just a trap she set up?”


    The assistant blinked, taken aback. “You mean…”


    Was Corrine really thinking of putting herself at risk to draw the enemy out? Before the assistant could finish his thought, Bryant shot him a warning nce, silencing him instantly.


    “The situation is a mess right now; chaos is everywhere. It’s only a matter of time before someone takes advantage of it. We just need to wait and watch,” Bryant said calmly. “Let’s finish our business quickly, or we’ll bete for the family banquet.”


    “Yes, sir,” the assistant replied.


    Meanwhile, Corrine sat in the car, absently fiddling with the jade bracelet Jax had given her. The jade was smooth and clear, its value obvious at first nce. Such an expensive gift, yet it only served as a pass for her to visit the Foster family. It spoke volumes about their wealth.


    “Miss Hond, we’re being followed,” Mandy said, her voice tense.


    Corrine nced at the rearview mirror, her gaze sharpening, a sh of alertness in her eyes. She hadn’t expected to be targeted so soon, especially on her first solo trip. Was it one of Andromache’s people? Or someone from the Hopkins family? She slipped the bracelet into her pocket, her voice t and emotionless. “Drive around. See if we can shake them off.”


    Mandy nodded, gripping the steering wheel tighter and mming her foot down on the gas. The modified ck Rolls-Royce shot forward like a dart, speeding ahead with a sudden burst of power.


    The car behind them kept pace, matching their speed, sticking close and refusing to fall behind.

    “Miss Hond, sit—”


    Before Mandy could finish, Corrine grabbed the steering wheel with a swift motion. “Switch seats,” she ordered.


    Mandy hesitated for a moment, but her body reacted without thought. Once they had switched ces, Corrine took a quick nce at Mandy. “Buckle up.”


    Mandy gave a wry smile, almost about to say it wasn’t needed, when the car was suddenly hit with a jolt. Her face turned serious as she quickly buckled her seatbelt.


    Half an hourter, the car pulled up in front of the coastal highway.


    As night began to fall, Corrine sat on the car’s hood, her hands ced beside her. Her eyes were closed, and her head tilted slightly as she enjoyed the cool sea breeze on her face.
