Chapter 975: Leah's pupils constricted. She fixed Corrine with an unblinking stare. Shock flickered across her face, but it quickly twisted into pure loathing.
Her temper snapped. She shot to her feet, thrust a finger at Corrine, and shouted, "Corrine Holland, enough! I already said sorry. What more do you want? Don't push your luck, or you'll regret it!" Nate's forehead creased slightly. His tone remained smooth and measured. "Does an apology mean she has to forgive you? You give yourself too much credit." His quiet words carried weight, sending a chill down Leah's spine.
Sonia inhaled deeply, tension tightening her voice. "What will it take for you to spare us?" Corrine's gaze lifted lazily to meet Sonia's. Without a word, she strode toward Leah.

"We're at the police station, Corrine!" Leah's voice trembled, betraying her fear.
Corrine merely smiled and extended her hand, palm up.
Matias, who had been unnoticed until then, stepped forward and handed her a lawyer's letter with a polite gesture.
Corrine took the paper with just two fingers, then lightly tapped it against Leah's face.
Though the paper was thin and light, every tap sent a jolt through Leah's chest, making it hard to breathe.
Leah fought to mask her fear, but her gaze avoided Corrine's, unwilling to meet her eyes.
The edge of the paper slid down Leah's cheek, sharp like a blade, making her whole body freeze.

A confident smile spread across her red lips. "Take this. I'll see you in court." Both Leah's and Sonia's faces changed instantly, their eyes wide with fear.
"Corrine, you're pushing us too far!" Sonia snapped, her teeth clenched. "Leah didn't hire anyone to kill! You're wasting your ton this nonsense." Corrine gave Sonia a look full of mockery before glancing back at Leah. "Why don't you take a look at the letter?" Leah's eyelashes fluttered, and she lowered her gaze. She noticed Waldo's law firm's seal on the document.
The words on the paper were clear: Leah was being sued for kidnapping.
Leah's composure shattered. Her face, already pale, turned even more ashen. So, Corrine already knew she was behind the kidnapping.
Leah had been keeping a close eye on Bruce ever since she decided to return.
