Chapter 1621:
Corrine let the silence linger for a moment before speaking again. “I will take care of the rest. You two...” She
paused and glanced at Jolene. “Could you help take my uncle to the hospital?”
Earlier, Jolene had suggested it herself, but Waldo had refused stubbornly. Now, with Corrine asking, Jolene
hesitated, glancing at him before giving a small nod.
They turned to leave, but not without their usual bickering.
“I am perfectly capable of walking. No need for your assistance.”
“If Corrine hadn't asked, believe me, | wouldn't be here holding your sorry self.”
Corrine watched them disappear into the distance, their childish banter fading behind them. She sighed softly
and then turned in Jonathan's direction.
That was when she took a closer look at the man on his knees. The scene was so bizarre that her mind initially
refused to accept it. The man was picking up shards of glass from the floor... and pushing them into his mouth.
For a moment, she thought her mind was playing tricks. Her eyes squeezed shut. But when she opened them

Her brows furrowed. A chill crept up her spine.
Jonathan did not say a word. He merely turned slightly and gave Bleacher a glance.

dragged him away like a sack of garbage. Just before they disappeared, a flicker of light caught the man’s face.
Corrine caught a clear glimpse of it.
Swollen. Unrecognizable. The man’s features had ballooned grotesquely, his face puffed up like a bruised pig's
head.
No. That was not Waldo’s doing. She knew it without question—this was Jonathan's work.
Her eyes met his, and her voice was steady. “Thank you, Jonathan.”
Upon hearing those words, Jonathan shifted his gaze toward Corrine. A faint smirk tugged at his lips. “The Ford
family heiress thanking me? That is a rare honor I did not expect.”
Corrine’s expression remained

Leaning forward, Jonathan reached
for the fruit platter, drove the knife
into a ripe apple, and let it rest there.

“Are you concerned that | might

Waldo had caused a disturbance on

easily turn into a declaration of war.

She moved toward Nate and seated herself beside him with practiced grace, every movement measured, her
thoughts sharpened by calculation. “I offer compensation because my uncle’s recklessness disrupted your
business. Nothing more.”
