The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1021:

To his surprise, Corrine simply replied with a casual “Oh,” and then lazily rested her head on Nate’s shoulder.

Presley looked at her, puzzled.

Why did her response feel like an insult?noveldrama

Corrine rested casually against Nate’s shoulder, her demeanor unfazed, as though the sight of the three imposing off-road vehicles meant little to her.

Presley, still unwilling to back down, taunted, “Miss Holland, if you’re frightened, don’t hesitate to scream. It’s perfectly understandable…”

“Why don’t you show us how it’s done first?” Corrine quipped, raising an eyebrow, her lips curling into a sly smile.

Presley had no words.

“These vehicles have only been modified to go faster. They’re not as daunting as they appear.” Corrine spoke with calm assurance. “If you’re rattled now, I might start questioning your competence.”

Saul, seated in the passenger side, was almost ready to clap.

She was the kind of woman Nate would choose, without a doubt—maintaining a composed, unruffled manner even in the midst of danger.

Behind the wheel, Presley was still unconvinced, but his mischievousness had evaporated. “Miss Holland, you seem quite familiar with modified vehicles?”

“Just a little hobby of mine.”

Before Presley could respond, one of the off-road vehicles shot forward, cutting through the convoy with precision, while another barreled straight toward the car holding Nate and Corrine.

The crash was forceful enough to jolt everyone inside the car.

Without thinking, Nate shielded Corrine with his arm.

“Mr. Hopkins, Miss Holland, hold on!” Presley yelled, jerking the steering wheel to the side. As the other vehicle almost slammed into them again, he whipped the car’s rear out of the way.

Another car of Nate’s convoy closed in on the enemy’s vehicle from behind. With his team’s help and a swift maneuver, Presley forced the off-road vehicle off its course, sending it flipping over.

But he didn’t let up—he pushed the accelerator harder and slammed into the off-road vehicle, causing it to surge forward over ten feet before crashing into a large rock.

The convoy came to a stop when all three off-road vehicles were halted. Doors flung open in synchrony, and a swarm of bodyguards in black suits surrounded them.

The three off-road vehicles formed an efficient circle around them. Presley and Saul wasted no time unbuckling their seatbelts and rushing out to assess the situation.
