Chapter 1011:
Corrine noticed and flashed a knowing smile. The treatment they received clearly showed how powerful the
Hopkins family was on the Independent Continent.
During the ride, Corrine quietly rested her head on Nate’s shoulder, gazing out the window as the world rushed
by.
The towering skyscrapers, lit up with neon signs, gave off a futuristic feel. The streets were alive with luxury
cars, and even the rarest sports cars seemed to be a da dozen here.
As it neared eleven o'clock, the convoy of Rolls-Royces smoothly made its way up the hillside to the Grand
Palace.
The entire area, with its grand buildings, sparkled under the lights, resembling a shining pearl set against the
hillside—a sight of true elegance and grandeur.
Presley stepped forward and opened the car door with a bow of respect. Corrine stepped out, taking in the

things changed around here.”
“You don't get it!” Presley snapped, glaring at him. “The cabmeeting is coming up, and we don’t know how
many people are keeping an eye on us.”
If something went wrong now, they could lose everything. Presley sighed again, the weight of it all heavy on his
mind.
