Chapter 62 Manipulating Public Opinion
Corrine maintained her composure, though a faint glint of mischief danced in her eyes. "Weren't you the one who
claimed that courting a woman. requires sincerity, humility, initiative, and, most importantly, unwavering
commitment? Are you planning to contradict yourself now?"
Nate let out a quiet, amused chuckle at her pointed remark. "I thought my sincerity had already proven itself to
you, but clearly, I'll need to raise the bar."
"Progress has to cstep by step, doesn't it?" Corrine replied smoothly as she stepped into the sleek, private
elevator.
"Then let's see how you evolve into Mrs. Hopkins."
Nate's tone carried a teasing warmth, his words wrapping around her like a soft breeze, stirring something
delicate within her heart.
A soft blush warmed her cheeks. "I have work to finish now. I'll see you
tonight."

On the other end of the call, Nate paused briefly, his voice turning gentle. "See you tonight."
The richness of his tone, laced with a quiet affection, seemed to soften
even the cold, mechanical hum of the phone.
After hanging up, Nate turned to Matias, his expression shifting into something more decisive. "Take care of the
online uproar quickly. | don't want it ruining her mood-or her appetite-this evening."
"Miss Holland has already started addressing it," Matias explained calmly.
"To prevent interrupting her plan, our team is actively managing the
comments."
He added after a brief pause, "The police mentioned that the Ashton and Burgess families are pushing to resolve
this privately."
Nate's eyes darkened, a cold gleam flickering within them. "Lyhaton isn't a playground where the Ashton and
Burgess families dictate the rules."
His words made it clear-settling privately was out of the question. If they continued testing boundaries, Lyhaton
would no longer accommodate their arrogance.
Matias felt the weight of the unspoken threat, a chill brushing over him. Nate's determination to shield Corrine
was undeniable.
"The attackers have already stained their hands with enough filth. Securing justice won't be hard," Matias said.
Nate nonchalantly loosened the top button of his shirt, his voice steady yet firm. "Make sure it's resolved
cleanly."
"Understood, sir," Matias responded with a crisp nod, his tone steady and professional.
At the stime, a sensational post titled, "Popular Actress Colludes with dominating
Unknown Criminal Forces to Commit Violence in Public,
online discussions, fueling a frenzy of public outrage.
Leah had orchestrated the chaos, goading her fans to retaliate against Corrine. In her mind, as long as the
damages didn't result in physical harm, she could easily sweep it under the rug with money.
After all, enlisting fans to go after rivals was practically an unspoken rule in the industry. But this time, her plan
had spiraled far beyond her control.
The mere accusation of partnering with criminal elements to execute her revenge threw Leah into a state of
panic. Frantic, she poured funds into scrubbing the post from every corner of the internet, but her efforts only
seemed to bleed money without making a dent in the backlash.

Growing desperate, she directed her marketing team to re-edit the footage from the Lonsong Restaurant
entrance and pair it with a copy of her hospital diagnosis report from the previous night.
As anticipated, the newly edited video stirred fresh waves of hostility against Corrine online.
"In broad daylight, she has the audacity to act like this! She needs to be punished severely!"
"She's nothing but a bully to our sweet Leah! We won't let her off so easily!"
"An apology isn't enough. She needs to face the law for what she's done!"
Leah watched the supportive comments pour in, a flicker of triumph breaking through her previously grim
expression.
Reclining on the hospital bed with a silk face mask plastered across her skin, she closed her eyes and allowed
herself to savor the image of Corrine humbling herself in desperation.
There was no way Corrine could outmaneuver her. Leah was sure of it.
Even with the Ashton family's supposed backing, Corrine was no match for her- and now, with their ties severed,
she stood no chance at all.
The memory of Corrine's two sharp slaps from the night before resurfaced, sending a jolt of anger through Leah.
Her teeth clenched, her hands balling into tight fists beneath the sheets.
