Chapter 1574:
Seeing Evelyn's dazed look, Penny intervened. “Mrs. Hopkins, your coffee has gone cold. I'll fetch you a new
one.”
Pulled back to reality by Penny’s voice, Evelyn masked her feelings, looking away briefly. When she lifted her
eyes again, the warmth had returned to her expression. “Please, everyone, take a seat.”
As they settled, the room filled with polite exchanges, though Carl's and Jayden’s quietude lent an awkward air.
Chelsea, maintaining her smile, felt compelled to remind Jayden, “Today marks a special occasion for Corrine.
Let's offer her our smiles.”
The night before, Jayden had learned of Evelyn's plans to visit the Ford family and finalize Corrine and Nate's
engagement, which troubled him deeply. It appeared to Jayden that Corrine’s marriage was more than a mere
alliance; it was a venture into peril.
Chelsea had realized how much he disliked the idea, but the arrangements were set. Protesting now wouldn't

Despite the growing tension in the air, Evelyn remained largely unfazed. She had been aware of the Ford family’s
stance on the marriage for stime. Evelyn's gaze shifted between Carl and Corrine, conveying a secret
message. “Nate and Corrine are destined for each other, almost as if they've been linked in a former life. No
obstacle could alter that bond.” Her statement sounded ordinary, yet it subtly implied that certain destinies were
inescapable, despite efforts to steer them otherwise. A sense of victory flickered in her expression.
Carl offered a small, cool smile. “Destiny is something we create.” He implied that the current circumstances
were not serendipitous but the result of Nate's meticulous planning.

Evelyn took a sip of her coffee, then turned to Corrine with a smile. “Corrine, I've brought you a gift. It's over on
the table on the terrace.” She glanced at Nate. “Nate, why don’t you join Corrine and take a look?”
Nate gave a nod, rose to his feet, and approached Corrine. He then took her hand to guide her to the table.
Positioned strategically between the private room and the terrace, the table was shielded by a screen, providing
a secluded spot where guests could converse and enjoy their coffee in privacy. Evelyn's intention was obvious—
she didn’t want Corrine and Nate to hear the following conversation.
Sensing the tension, Jules suddenly excused himself and followed the couple out.
“Why are you leaving too?” Corrine asked.
Jules paused, pulling out a cigarette. “If | stick around, there are things that won't be said. I'll step out for a
smoke.”
As soon as he stepped away, Nate
