Chapter 1020:
“While you're in this place, follow the rules here,” Ralph said flatly. “Don’t go out at night unless you have to.
This place has its own set of rules. Don’t let the luxury fool you.”
Corrine was a bit surprised. “Thanks for your concern.”
After the meal, Nate and Corrine left the estate.
Once outside, she let out a heavy sigh.
“Nervous?” Nate asked, holding her hand.
He could feel the sweat on her palm.
Corrine glanced at their joined hands and thought for a moment. “Ralph doesn’t like me.”
“Whether he likes you or not doesn’t matter,” Nate replied, kissing her hand. “What matters is that | love you.”
As they walked, Corrine asked, “Are there a lot of rules here?” She could understand most rules, but the one
about not going out at night confused her. Was the security really that bad?
Nate opened the car door for Corrine and explained, “There are five main families on the Independent Continent:
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtthe Hopkins, Quinn, Seymour, Burton, and Powell families. The Elder Council keeps everyone in check.”
As the car began moving, Nate’s voice, smooth and compelling, continued, “More than twenty years ago, the
continent was thrown into chaos. Once things settled, the Elder Council passed a rule banning unnecessary
outings after curfew.”
Corrine nodded, deep in thought.
She remembered Nate mentioning that the Independent Continent had once been ruled by the powerful Higgs
family. But then, a disaster struck, and the entire Higgs family vanished overnight.
Corrine’s instincts told her that the chaos from over twenty years ago was likely tied to the Higgs family’s
disappearance. But that was just her guess, and it didn’t really concern her.
After leaving the Hopkins family estate, Nate's convoy made its way toward the Grand Palace.
The further they went, the fewer cars they saw on the road.
As they passed an intersection, three heavily modified off-road vehicles suddenly appeared. Their reinforced
bumpers were positioned threateningly toward Nate's convoy.
Presley and Saul exchanged a glance, a smirk playing on their lips.
At times like these, there were always sfools eager to show off.
The car sped up quickly, shaking Corrine out of her drowsiness. She looked at the off-road vehicles trailing them.
“Who are they?” she asked.
