Chapter 1562:
“I'm standing here just fine now,” Corrine said, facing Jules with a stoic expression.
Jules was visibly agitated as he stared at her.
“How did you handle things afterward?” he asked angrily.
Aliza’s vile tactics could not be ignored.
Even if Corrine forgave her, the Ford family would not.
They were intent on ensuring Aliza faced severe repercussions.
“Aliza is locked up by Nate now. You should ask him about the details,” Corrine responded, brushing past Jules
indifferently.
Jules caught her arm, his eyes searching hers as suspicion flickered within.
“Could that woman be connected to Nate?” he asked, narrowing his eyes.
His voice carried a chilling undertone.
If Nate had betrayed Corrine, Jules was prepared to confront the entire Hopkins family to seek justice.
An unfaithful man did not deserve a favorable fate.
“That woman belongs to the Quinn family. Nate is ensuring my safety from their targeting, which is why he
hasn't handed her over,” Corrine explained.

“Isn't that ideal?” Jules countered. “He handles the threats, and you stay safe. It sounds like you have
everything. What more could you possibly need?”
Corrine was left speechless.
She pondered if all men subscribed to such skewed logic.
Was this simply about who did the job, and who reaped the benefits?
Elva had deliberately pitted Aliza against Corrine. If Corrine failed to set a firm example now, who knew what
sinister schemes might be concocted in the future?
Moreover, since Corrine and Nate had resolved to tackle challenges together, she was determined not to let Nate
bear the brunt alone.
She refused to hide behind him like a coward.
“Why do you seem so unhappy? Are you blaming Nate for rescuing you?” Jules asked, noting Corrine’s somber
mood. “That woman has no connection with Nate, and he’s going out of his way to protect you and address your
grievances. Why hold a grudge against him?”

He paused before adding, “Nate even offered you a heartfelt apology last night. You should consider giving him a
chance to make amends. Be careful not to push him away or let someone else take your place. You might find
yourself with no shoulder to cry on.”
Upon hearing this, Corrine lifted her chin proudly. “What's mine can’t be taken away, and | won't cling to what
isn’t meant to be mine!” she responded confidently.
Jules studied her expression. “If that’s your stance, perhaps we should cancel Evelyn's upcoming visit to our
home,” he suggested. “It seems there’s no need to discuss your marriage to Nate after all.”
“What do you mean?” Corrine’s eyes showed a hint of anger.
Despite her quarrel with Nate, Corrine had never considered ending their relationship.
“Grandpa would probably be the
happiest to see AN AR

Carl had always hoped that Corrine and Nate would part ways, preventing a union between the Hopkins and Ford
families.

Corrine gave him a wry look. “Playing the martyr while benefiting from the situation, aren't you?” she retorted.

As such, the Fords would have never benefitted from the Astleys’ protection.
