LittleNovelChapter 610: The underlying message was as sharp as it was clear: The Hopkins family was not the only gin town.
"Uncle Jayden..." Corrine shifted nervously, her voice betraying concern as she feared Jayden might suggest calling off the arrangement.
Jayden saw the worry in her eyes, and his tone softened, though his gaze remained unwavering.
"Go check on your grandfather in the garden," he instructed gently, but with a firm finality.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorrine frowned, immediately realizing Jayden was sending her away on purpose. Without thinking, she glanced at Nate.
Nate met her gaze, his expression calm and reassuring. He gave her a subtle nod, a silent assurance that everything would be fine.
"Go ahead," he said quietly.
Corrine hesitated for only a moment, and then rose, deciding to leave the room. The door clicked shut behind her, leaving an oppressive silence in its wake.
Jayden picked up his glass, taking a deliberate sip, his eyes icy as they remained fixed on Nate.
"So," he began, his voice dripping with mockery, "I've heard you're here to end this marriage arrangement." His gaze lingered on Nate's face, and his words cut through the air like a blade.
"With your status, you could have your pick of any woman on the Independent Continent. So why Corrine?" Since Corrine wouldn't break the arrangement herself, Jayden was more than willing to take matters into his own hands, pressing Nate where it hurt.

"It's true," he said, his tone steady.
"There are countless women in the world. But Corrine? She's one of a kind. Irreplaceable. Unique. There's no one else like her." In matters of the heart, logic often had no place.

He didn't know where it cfrom, but he just fell in love with Corrine without reason.
Jayden's gaze lingered on Nate, his lips barely moving, as though the weight of unspoken words pressed heavily upon him. There were countless things Jayden wanted to say, but Nate's icy, unreadable eyes held him in place. Words seemed to escape him, swallowed by the coldness of the moment. In the span of a heartbeat, Jayden's expression flickered, a cascade of emotions flashing across his face-doubt, frustration, and something deeper. After what felt like an eternity, Jayden found his composure, his voice steady but resolute.
"Mr. Hopkins, you must be aware of the unique and dangerous position you occupy. You're and in doing so, young with fire, dragging Corrine into the flames. She's not just your responsibility; you're endangering her life by insisting on staying with her!" His words weren't simply a caution, but carried the weight of ingrained mistrust. The Ford family had always viewed Nate with suspicion, and from the outset, they had refused to acknowledge the marriage arrangement between him and Corrine.
When the news broke that Nate intended to break it off, Jayden and Carl had exhaled in silent relief. They thought that would be the end of it.
