Chapter 1564:
Seeing Jules and Rachel descending the staircase hand in hand, Corrine seized the opportunity to shift the
conversation. “Grandpa, Jules and Rachel's wedding is coming up soon. Don’t you think you should prepare a
grand gift for them?”
“Oh?” Carl said, his gaze sliding over to her. “And what did you have in mind?”
Corrine’s eyes sparkled with a hint of mischief. “I was thinking about that family heirloom necklace you keep

“Miss Holland, do you have a moment?” His voice sounded small, almost pleading.
Corrine’s brows knitted. “What is it?”
“Nothing serious,” he said quickly. “But if you could stop by Brighton Group, it would help a lot.”
“I'll see,” she replied and ended the call.
Leaning back, she stared at the flawless blue sky beyond the floor-to-ceiling windows. Jules’ advice from that
morning echoed in her mind.
Had she overstepped this time?
Elva had offended her—Elva, not Nate. Why punish him for someone else’s mistake?
The longer she pondered, the heavier her conscience became. At last, she pushed back her chair and left the
office.
Matias exhaled the moment the call ended.
Whenever Nate and Corrine locked horns, the entire staff wound up in the crossfire.
