Over the years, Herbert had encountered countless women, each more stunning than the last. He had thought
himself immune to beauty. Yet, Corrine was different. She wasn’t just a woman of looks—she was a force,
someone who refused to blend into the mold of traditional elegance.
But the Hopkins family was no ordinary one—it was a dynasty steeped in power struggles, riddled with schemes
and betrayals. Sof the collateral branches even conspired with each other, eager for a piece of the pie from
the main branch. Sooner or later, conflict would erupt.

She nodded, her fingers fidgeting in her lap. “It's my first tmeeting them, and | didn’t bring anything. Isn't
that kind of rude?”
“I've got everything prepared for you,” Nate assured her with a confident smile.
Corrine blinked before pressing her fingertips against her temple in mock despair. “You're so thoughtful, | almost
feel inadequate.”
“No need to feel that way.” His arm snaked around her waist, pulling her gently into his embrace. “You'll just
have to repay the favor eventually.”
Corrine blinked, momentarily stunned.
