Chapter 1577:
After a long pause, Carl finally spoke. “So, you plan to let her return to the Independent Continent just like that?”
Seeing that he no longer opposed the engagement outright, Evelyn's voice softened. “You've raised Corrine well.
She’s kind, thoughtful, and strong. I'm not cruel. | won't force her hand. If she chooses to give up the chance to
return to the Independent Continent, it means she’s leaving behind her title, her place in the most powerful
family, and accepting the fate that she’s the only survivor...” Her voice faltered for a moment, her eyes growing
distant.
On the Independent Continent, land was worth more than gold. Countless noble families lived there, rich beyond
imagination. But very few knew that, even combined, all those families couldn't compare to one legendary clan
—wiped out in a single night more than twenty years ago.
The memory brought a wave of sorrow. Evelyn drew a deep breath to calm herself before speaking flatly, “The
entire clan, hundreds of lives, gone. If Corrine chooses to bury the past, | will understand. | won't force her into

their places on Evelyn's left.
A hush fell over the group as they ate. The tension had eased slightly, but the residue of Carl and Evelyn's earlier
discussion lingered.
Silently, Corrine observed the expressions around her, her gaze frequently lowering to her plate as she ate
without comment. Her mind, however, was preoccupied with the array of gift boxes laid out on the table.

Most of them contained extravagant offerings—heirloom jewelry, rare paintings, land titles, luxury car
registrations, and shares in Hopkins enterprises. Each gift was a gesture of significant generosity.
Yet, it was a simple hairpin that captured Corrine’s interest above all. She recognized the craftsmanship instantly.
It looked identical to the tiara in her possession.
The hairpin appeared to be part of a set with the tiara.
Before she had left the Independent Continent, Jax had given her a similar hairpin, and now here was another
from Evelyn.
Could this whole set originate from the Independent Continent?
The thought made her feel as though she was being pulled back, manipulated into reconnecting with the
Independent Continent.

Snapped back to the moment, Corrine hesitated before responding, “Evelyn, | noticed a hairpin in one of the
