NovelGoldChapter 1096:
Herbert arched an eyebrow, his attention flickering toward the watch Moses was absently toying with. His
expression darkened slightly. “Since when did you develop such terrible taste?”
“It's a limited edition,” Zack said meaningfully.
As they spoke, Corrine and Nate entered the garden. Throughout the discussion, Corrine had remained largely
silent, an observer rather than a participant. Her eyes were lowered, indifferent to the conversation.
Just then, Presley approached, leaned in, and whispered something to Nate. “Sir, news from the Hopkins family
home. They've arranged a family dinner—and specifically extended an invitation to you and Miss Holland.”
At those words, a subtle shift passed through the group. All eyes turned to Nate. His gaze remained impassive as
he gave a curt response.
Once Presley departed, Moses was the first to break the silence. “Nate, you're not seriously considering taking
Corrine there, are you?” The Hopkins family estate wasn’t just an ancestral home—it was a battlefield wrapped
in silk and etiquette. This so-called family dinner was nothing more than a well-laid trap. No matter how capable
Corrine was, stepping into that den prematurely was a gamble they could not afford.

practically waving a red flag in front of it.

The Hopkins family wasn’t a house of nobles; it was a court of predators. To march in now, without a strategy,
was nothing short of a death wish.
“Corrine, listen...” Moses began, his voice low and careful. But Nate cut him off, his tone leaving no room for
argument. “If you want to go, we'll go. I'll deal with whatever comes.”
Moses stifled a groan, swallowing his protest. Damn! They had both lost their minds! The words burned in his
throat, but Zack’s hand on his arm stopped him. There was no point in arguing. They knew Nate too well. Once
his mind was set, no force on earth could move him.
