Chapter 1560:
Before Corrine could fashion a response, he added, “The hour grows late. You should rest.”
With those words hanging between them, he rose and departed without a backward glance.
As Nate's silhouette retreated, a sudden, inexplicable panic surged through Corrine’s veins.
She sprang to her feet, his ntumbling from her lips before she could stop herself. “Nate...”
His stride faltered momentarily before resuming with grim determination. Not once did he turn back, his
departure etched with finality that spoke volumes in the silence.
Corrine watched as darkness swallowed his figure, a soft sigh of resignation escaping her lips.
“Corrine, why did you let your emotions hijack your sense?” she chastised herself in a whisper.
She had recognized the explosive potential of those words even as they formed, so why had they spilled forth so
recklessly?
While Corrine marinated in regret, Carl practically levitated with delight upon hearing of the rift between her and
Nate. “You're saying they quarreled?” he pressed eagerly.
If their relationship had indeed fractured, perhaps Evelyn's formal visit could be rendered unnecessary.
The thought alone coaxed a triumphant laugh from Carl’s throat.

Leland, reading Carl's transparent glee, felt compelled to interject. “Sir, if their relationship has truly fractured,
Corrine will undoubtedly suffer the aftermath.” He exhaled with genuine compassion. “She seems cursed in
matters of the heart. Every man who enters her life eventually reveals the sdisappointing pattern.”
Carl dismissed this concern with a wave. “The world brims with suitors. If this match fails, she'll simply discover
another. Why make mountains out of molehills?” He had never desired Corrine’s union with the Hopkins family,
and this development aligned perfectly with his deepest wishes.
Nothing could please him more.

Observing Carl's unbridled delight, Leland hesitated before venturing cautiously. “Sir, this situation demands
careful consideration. The arrangement cannot be dissolved by your decision alone.”
At this sobering reminder, Carl's smile dimmed as reality intruded upon his momentary celebration.
This arrangement hadn’t been Carl’s creation. Unless the Hopkins family willingly relinquished their claim,
Corrine would inevitably be drawn down that unalterable path.
“My headstrong daughter, Kiley, was determined to chart her own course until the bitter end,” Carl's weary sigh
carried the weight of his concern, worry etching deep lines across his weathered face.
Sensing that memories had cast their shadow over Carl, Leland hastened to offer reassurance. “Fortune must
eventually smile upon Corrine. Surely the heavens will grant her their blessing.”
Carl's gaze lifted to meet his, a whisper of hope softening his features. “One can only pray.”

He said the word “discretion” with particular emphasis.
Corrine met his teasing with a stony gaze. “He departed last night.”
“Departed?” Jules blinked in surprise.
