Corrine was left utterly speechless.
Was he serious? What bizarre notions filled his mind?
She reached for a tissue, dabbed at her lips with composure, inhaled deeply, and responded, “Mr. Cooper, please
don’t joke about such matters.” Her tone hinted at veiled caution.
Zeke gave a nonchalant shrug. “If you find it hard to believe, perhaps you should discuss it with Jules once you're
home.”
Corrine’s expression tightened slightly at this. “Should you persist with these irrelevant matters, | will have to
excuse myself.” Rising from her seat, she made to leave.

Corrine stopped, her steps halting midway. She took a deep breath, reconsidered, and returned to her seat.

After such an exchange, Corrine found herself staring blankly at her plate, the food no longer appealing.
Upon Zeke’s departure, she retreated to her office.

“Why would Mr. Cooper say such things?” Natasha, observing Corrine’s concerned look, ventured a question.
“With the Cooper family leading Pinetree City’s elite, wouldn't they be displeased to see the Ford family’s
predicament benefit others?”
Corrine met her gaze. “Go on.”
With a thoughtful frown, Natasha speculated further. “It seems like Mr. Cooper is offering a friendly caution, yet
something tellshe might also be positioning to gain from these events.”

City’s influence did not extend into
Lyhaton. Within the upper echelons

dominated. They believed that by

Even without the Fords, the Seymour, Hoffman, and Brooks families remained. It would never be Pinetree City’s
