Chapter 1019:
“Yes,” Nate answered without a second thought.
Ralph looked down, deep in thought.
“The coffee’s nearly finished. Lettop it up for you,” Nate said, offering.
As the rich aroma of coffee filled the air, Ralph spoke with a meaningful tone. “This coffee has always been your
grandmother's favorite. Maybe it’s just the passing of time, but it tastes different now. If you don’t like it, don’t
feel you have to drink it for her sake.”
Nate's eyes tightened a bit, but he smoothly shifted the conversation. “I'll be heading out after the meeting
wraps up.”
“Leaving so soon?” Ralph sounded surprised.
Nate placed the coffee pot down slowly, speaking in a calm tone. “You're getting older. It's better | leave before |
cause you any more stress.”
Ralph laughed bitterly. “Hah! As if you haven't already upsetenough!”

He added with a sharp edge, “Don’t think | don’t know you’re bringing her to the meeting!”
Nate didn’t react to Ralph’s words. “Grandma arranged everything. As her grandson, I'm just following her
wishes.”
“You!” Ralph's face turned red with anger, but he couldn't vent his frustration.
Nearby, Presley saw Ralph's flushed face and lowered his head, pressing his lips tightly together.
Standing in front of Ralph, the former head of the Hopkins family, Presley knew better than to speak out or show
any sign of amusement. He was well aware of the serious consequences that could follow. Despite Ralph's
bluster, everyone knew he was completely under Evelyn's thumb.
Whatever she decided, he wouldn't dare disagree, no matter how much he resented it.
Just like now, even though he knew Nate bringing Corrine to the meeting was against the rules, he didn’t have
the courage to stop it, knowing it was Evelyn's decision.

“I'm getting old, and | may not have the strength | once did, but your father won't stand by while you act
foolishly,” Ralph said.
A cold light flashed in Nate's eyes. “You know I've never cared about these so-called father-son bonds.”
Ralph’s brow twitched slightly as he looked off into the distance. “The weather's been so unpredictable lately. It
was clear just a moment ago, and now the wind’s starting to pick up.”
As noon drew near, Corrine and Nate stayed at the family estate for lunch.
