"Did it scare you?" Jayden wasted no ton pleasantries, his concern. cutting through the line. "Jules filled me
in on everything. Don't worry-I won't let you face this alone. I'll get to the bottom of it!"
His voice was steady, with an undertone of restrained anger, barely noticeable unless you knew him well.
"Uncle Jayden, | can take care of this myself," Corrine replied, her voice firm
but calm.

"I've already put someone on it. We'll have answers soon!" Jayden's tone sharpened, heavy with dissatisfaction.
"This went too far. There's no way I'll let the person responsible get away with this!"
Hearing the unwavering determination in his voice, Corrine felt an unexpected warmth spreading through her
chest.
It was comforting to know her family always had her back.
She took a deep breath, steadying her emotions, and spoke with gentle resolve. "Uncle Jayden, I'm a Ford. Do
you really think I'd let anyone pusharound? I'll handle this myself. Besides, | wasn't hurt, so there's no
need to make such a fuss over it."
For a moment, there was only silence on the other end. Then Jayden let out a heavy sigh, his words laced with
reluctant agreement. "Tine, | won't interfere-but

Instead of buying a single flavor, Jayden had purchased every flavor available in Lyhaton, just because he wasn't
sure which one she liked best.
Moments like that made it painfully obvious to Karina what it meant to be

Reflecting on this, she sighed softly, her voice tinged with sincerity. "Honestly, before | met you, | didn't even
know what envy felt like.”
"What?" Corrine arched a brow, her expression calm but curious, her casual demeanor masking her intrigue.
Karina, looking slightly crestfallen, met Corrine's gaze with a trace of grievance in her eyes. "You know, I'm the

But compared to you, | feel like | don't belong."
"I heard that someone recently spent 500, 000 dollars on a bracelet at the Glorious Jewelry Auction." Corrine
gently lifted Karina's wrist, her tone light but layered with meaning. "It looks an awful lot like this one."
Karina, clearly flustered, pulled her hand away. The gemstones on her

As she made her way into the company, her phone rang. Nate's voice. greeted her on the other end. "I've
reserved a private room at Lonsong Restaurant. Care to joinfor dinner tonight?"
Corrine couldn't help but laugh softly at his request. "Dinners still five hours away. Isn't it a bit early to be
asking?"
"This was the only excuse | could cup with to see you that you wouldn't easily turn down," Nate replied, his
tone earnest yet playful.
"Unless," he added smoothly, "you'd prefer to givea proper title-like your boyfriend."
