The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1024:

Seeing the confusion on his face, Corrine patiently explained, “It’s simple really. They wanted to make sure that if something went wrong, you wouldn’t be able to trace it back to them. The vehicles’ appearance was meant to throw you off. As you pointed out, both the framework and engine have unique codes. By destroying those, they made sure you couldn’t find any leads.”

She continued, “If you can’t trace it, you’ll start searching wider, suspecting shadows, while the real culprit stays hidden among your imagined enemies.”

As she spoke, a soft look appeared in Nate’s eyes, one that no one had ever seen before. His Corrine was truly brilliant.

Her words revealed a side of her he had never fully realized.

To everyone around, Corrine’s knowledge of car mechanics seemed to go far beyond the basics. Her expertise even outshone Saul’s and Presley’s.

At that moment, Presley’s opinion of her had shifted significantly. He couldn’t help but say, “It’s a shame their plan never had the chance to play out.”

His voice dripped with sarcasm aimed at the mastermind.

Corrine replied with a shrug, “Why do you think those three cars were at the intersection?”

“Wasn’t it meant to trap us there?” Presley asked.noveldrama

She glanced at him and let out a quiet sigh. “Those three cars had 4.0-liter twin-turbo engines, capable of hitting 585 horsepower. If we hadn’t dodged when we did, even our modified Rolls Royce wouldn’t have stood a chance. It would’ve been a deadly crash.”

The appearance of the three vehicles at the intersection wasn’t by chance. It was a planned attempt on their lives.

When Presley heard this, a cold shiver ran down his spine.

He had thought about the risk of the three vehicles crashing into their Rolls Royce, but he never imagined it could’ve ended in something so deadly.

Before, their enemies had only aimed to cause minor harm. Now, they were growing bolder.

They were clearly showing their intent to take Nate out.

On the drive back to the Grand Palace, they stopped and started several times, finally arriving twenty minutes later.

Presley opened the door and watched as Corrine and Nate walked away.

He still couldn’t shake the feeling of shock.

He had always thought Corrine was just a pretty face, but now it seemed she was nothing like the typical socialite.

Saul lit a cigarette, took a long drag, and blew out a perfect smoke ring. “Don’t compare Miss Holland to the usual socialites,” he said in a laid-back tone. “Corrine is no ordinary woman.”

“Didn’t you say she was just a member of the Ford family in Lyhaton?” Presley asked.

“Yeah,” Saul replied, nodding. “But I warned you not to underestimate someone our boss is interested in.”
