NovelBookChapter 1095:
Zack accepted a cigarette from Herbert, twirled it between his fingers, and remarked casually, “Not much—just
helped us secure shighly profitable land deals thanks to her horse racing skills.”
Herbert said nothing. After further questioning, he was left with a deep sense of regret.
Seeing his crestfallen expression, Zack patted his shoulder and advised with utmost sincerity, “Remember this—
whatever happens, siding with Corrine is always the right choice.”
“Ha!” Herbert let out a low chuckle, flicking a lighter between his fingers. His eyes lifted slightly at the corners,
carrying that familiar, roguish charm. “So, according to you, Corrine is quite the marvel.”
Zack lit the cigarette, took a slow drag, and spoke with an air of indifference. “She’s indeed got a lot of skills.”
For someone as composed as Nate to lose his head over her, she must possess more than a pretty face. And
from everything that had unfolded recently, it was clear—Corrine wasn’t just another wealthy heiress basking in
inherited luxury.
“Did Elva meet Corrine yesterday?” Moses asked, smoothly shifting the conversation. “That woman is infamous

Herbert's lips curved into a sly smile. “She hasn't made a scene yet... but who's to say what she’s plotting
behind the curtain?”
Among the prominent families of the Independent Continent, the Quinn family stood out—not for their rank, but
for their legacy. Unlike others, they upheld a rare tradition: female leadership. Every head of the Quinn family
had always been a woman. And Elva Quinn had been handpicked by the current family head as the next in line.
Given the close ties between the Hopkins and Quinn families, it had long been assumed that Elva would
eventually marry Nate. For years, the rumors had settled into something close to fact—until Nate shattered them
by bringing Corrine back. A single act that upended expectations and sent whispers rippling through high society.
And after last night, when Nate openly competed with Elva to help Corrine win the bid, speculation only grew
louder.
“With Elva’s temperament,” Moses said while polishing a watch, “after the humiliation Nate put her through last
night—turning her into the subject of gossip—she’ll stop at nothing to reclaim her dignity.” He continued matter-
of-factly, “Remember Ralph’s birthday party last year? Over a minor dispute, she took action against a
noblewoman affiliated with the Quinn family. That woman lost her mind and has been in a psychiatric hospital
ever since. No one knows exactly what she did, but the Quinn family buried it with money.”

Despite the unsettling subject, none of the three men showed any flicker of emotion. They had all clawed their
way through the brutal battles of family succession. Sympathy had long ceased to be a luxury they could afford.
