“And how soon might that be?” Nate’s tone was both calm and chilling, making one uneasy.

A chill ran through Matias as he sensed Nate questioning his competency. Right before he was about to apologize, Nate abruptly stood up.

“This meeting is over.”

He then exited the room, walking briskly with confident steps.

Matias quickly packed up the papers scattered on the table and hurried after Nate, making calls to push his team to expedite their investigation.

Upon reaching Nate’s office, Matias received the investigation report on his phone and quickly reviewed the details. His expression grew more serious. Without wasting any time, he entered the office and handed the phone over to Nate.

“Sir, please take a look.”

Nate’s stern expression softened slightly as he went over the details, and the cold atmosphere around him gradually lightened.

A slight, nearly undetectable smile appeared on Nate’s face, his voice carrying a note of curiosity.

“Ah, the Ford family.”

“Should we proceed with the investigation, sir?”

Considering the recent events related to Corrine, Matias had decided to be more vigilant. He was now committed to reporting anything related to her directly to Nate without delay.

Matias stood nearby, waiting for Nate’s instructions, but Nate didn’t respond. Suspicious, Matias glanced over and saw Nate’s reflection in the large, pristine window that acted almost like a mirror.

Nate stood with his back to him, busily typing something on his phone. A slight grimace crossed Matias’s face.

Though Nate had added Corrine on WhatsApp, they hadn’t exchanged messages since she asked to visit Evelyn.

Nate’s fingers moved quickly over the screen, typing, “What are you up to?”

Before sending it, he felt it came across as too intrusive and inappropriate. His brow furrowed as he deleted it and typed a new message, asking, “Have you had lunch?”

But this also felt dull and impersonal.

After several attempts, Nate settled on sending merely a rose emoji, abandoning his initial efforts.

Corrine had just reached the Ford family’s grand mansion.

Nestled in the bustling center of Lyhaton, the mansion was surrounded by high-value properties, including a luxurious hotel on the left and the elite Timme district with its pristine gardens on the right. Yet, even these impressive neighbors seemed modest next to the Ford mansion, which covered an expansive thirty thousand square feet.

This magnificent home stood out in the luxurious neighborhood, showcasing the Ford family’s unrivaled status in the city.

As Waldo drove through the slowly opening gates, he pulled the car to a stop along the roadside within the estate.

Taking a deep breath, Corrine swung the car door open and gracefully stepped out.
