Chapter 668: She settled into the hanging wicker swing, lazily scrolling through gift ideas on her phone.

Then, from the neighboring suite, she heard it—muffled footsteps, followed by hushed voices.

Corrine had not paid much attention to the conversation at first. Eavesdropping had never interested her.

But the moment she caught a familiar voice, her focus sharpened. Moses and Zack sat on the stone steps of the balcony, their postures relaxed, but the weight of their words was undeniable.

"Andromache might be ambitious, but her schemes alone are enough to give her the confidence to make a move against Nate in Lyhaton," Zack remarked. His tone was casual, yet it carried a quiet confidence, as though he had already assessed every possible angle and dismissed the unnecessary ones.

Moses lit a cigarette, inhaling deeply before exhaling a slow curl of smoke into the night air.

"That may be true," he said, his voice measured, “but Andromache hasn't been idle these past few days. She's been meeting with members of the collateral lines of the four major families. You don't actually believe those are just casual visits, do you?" The moment his words settled, an uneasy silence lingered between them. After a pause, Moses continued, his tone grave.

"From what I hear, the Burgess family is involved as well." While most people might overlook the significance, Zack knew exactly what that meant. The tangled history between Corrine and Leah was no secret to him. If they knew, then it wasn't surprising that Andromache pieced it together too. Leah had been stirring up trouble for Corrine in the past few months. Even if her past manipulations had been scrubbed from the internet, memories were not so easily erased.

"Andromache may not hold much influence in Lyhaton," Moses mused, flicking the ash from his cigarette, "but as a member of the Hopkins family from the Independent Continent, she has no shortage of people willing to carry out her bidding." He wasn't complimenting her. If anything, he understood all too well the sway that the Hopkins ncarried. People aligned themselves with power, not out of loyalty, but for their own gain. Andromache only needed to make the right promises, and the families of Lyhaton-whether big or small-would flock to her side.

Zack let out a low chuckle, his voice laced with mockery.

"And what is the Burgess family capable of doing now?" Corrine smirked to herself, amusement flickering in her eyes. Indeed, the Burgess family had long lost any meaningful standing. If Andromache truly believed that allying with Leah would be enough to bring Corrine down, then she was gravely mistaken.

Just as these thoughts passed through her mind, a knock sounded at her door.

Startled, she stood up quickly-too quickly. Her elbow grazed a flowerpot on the balcony, sending it, teetering cony, it, e.

toward the edge. Instinct kicked in.

She reached out and caught it just before it tumbled over, her heart thudding from the near mishap.

Letting out a quiet breath of relief, she carefully set the pot back in place before stepping away from the Fand balcony and toward the door. When she opened it, she was met with a familiar face.

"Leland?" she blinked in slight surprise. The content onovelenglish.net!
