Chapter 1576:
Everyone knew that Kiley’s nhad beca forbidden word around him since her death.
Even Corrine, whom Carl had cherished, was not spared from this silent rule. From the moment Kiley died, it was
as if her nand her memories had been wiped clean from the Ford family.
Sensing the tension in the room, Chelsea quickly stepped in. Her voice was calm and composed. “Mrs. Hopkins, |
arranged Corrine’s look today. If there was anything inappropriate, please forgive me.”
She had never met Kiley, nor seen any of her photos since marrying into the family. But Evelyn's sudden mention
of Kiley made her uneasy. It felt like more was hidden beneath the surface. She instinctively took the blame,
worried today’s misunderstanding might give the Hopkins family a reason to mistreat Corrine.
“How could it be inappropriate?” Evelyn said with a faint smile, a hint of sadness in her eyes. “In fact, | should
thank you for dressing her that way.” Chelsea was caught off guard. She watched Evelyn carefully, sensing that
there might be something deeper between her and Kiley.
“I truly thank you for raising Corrine so well all these years,” Evelyn said softly. “If Kiley were watching from
above, she would be proud.”
Carl remained expressionless, his gaze distant. Then, in a quiet voice, he spoke. “I didn’t raise her for any of you.
| raised her because she deserves a good life.”

Waldo, observing the interaction from the side, silently read the room. To him, this engagement celebration felt
less like a joyous occasion and more like a silent battle between two families.
There was a palpable hostility between Carl and Evelyn, one that neither tried to hide. Carl didn’t treat Evelyn as
the grandmother of Corrine’s fiancé, but more like an adversary.

But Evelyn remained composed, even in the face of Carl's coldness. “I know you blme for the path Corrine
took,” she said. “But deep down, you know it wasn’t my doing.”
Carl's fists clenched as he fought to control his anger. “All of you only think about yourselves. You never once
cared about how she felt.”
Evelyn met his gaze without flinching. She calmly picked up her coffee cup. “Say what you want. If | were to
meet Kiley in the afterlife, | could look her in the eye with a clear conscience.” She paused, then added, “I've
already added Corrine’s nto the Hopkins family records. From now on, she’s one of us.”
The Ford family members exchanged shocked glances. Chelsea and Waldo were stunned, while Jayden’s
expression darkened with anger.
