Chapter 1614:
Encouraged by this thought, Evelyn's spirits lifted. “You really have a way with words, dear.”
Corrine’s smile turned mischievous. “Well, since I'm so charming, maybe you could doa small favor?”
She had carefully considered her approach. Straightforwardness seemed better than subterfuge. Evelyn,
seasoned by years of wisdom, would see right through any attempt at manipulation. Trying to deceive Evelyn
was like performing amateur tricks before a seasoned magician. Conversely, a touch of coyness with an elder
could lead to surprisingly positive outcomes.
And it did.
Evelyn's eyes twinkled with understanding and then softened. “How could | possibly say no to you, Corrine?”
Hearing this, Corrine exhaled quietly, relieved. She had feared Evelyn might decline. It seemed she had played
her cards right.
“It’s just that | cacross sunusual symbols on the hairpin recently. They're ancient script from the
Independent Continent. Could you helpunderstand them?”
“Why don’t we look at them together after the meal?” Evelyn replied.
“That sounds perfect,” Corrine agreed.
After the meal, Corrine retrieved the photographs and passed them to Evelyn. “Given how long it’s been, I'll

Nate’s expression shifted subtly, curiosity flickering in his gaze. “You're among the rare few fluent in ancient
script from the Independent Continent. You used to decipher these with ease. Are you certain you need to study
them so thoroughly?”
“Growing older means there are things we can no longer manage,” Evelyn remarked, sliding off her glasses and
giving Nate a nonchalant look. “Do you think I'm not trustworthy?”

“That's not what | mean,” Nate responded, his smile betraying a hint of doubt.
Nate’s skepticism was understandable. In a place like the Independent Continent, one might expect ignorance of
ancient script from most people, but Evelyn's claim was less convincing. After all, she had been immersed in
such studies from a young age.
The two seemed locked in a quiet war of wits. Corrine, seated close by, couldn’t find her place in the exchange.
All she could do was sit still and watch. She had always thought of Evelyn as friendly, and now the connection to
the hairpin added layers of intrigue to her persona.
Indeed, Evelyn held the reins of the Hopkins family on the Independent Continent—not just through kindness but
also through shrewdness.
Corrine bit her lip slightly, put her cup
down, and asked with a cheek gin.
