BuzzNovelChapter 1414: When Jayden was framed and imprisoned, Bryant had been one of the masterminds behind it all.
With old and new wounds tangled together, Corrine had every reason to show no mercy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe didn't care that Bryant was Nate's uncle. That didn't buy him any leniency.
And Nate had known that when he handed Bryant over to her. He gave her free rein, so she didn't hold back. With a gentle smile in his deep-set eyes, Nate gazed at Corrine. Her performance in Riverveille had been truly astonishing. He had expected her to find a way out of trouble; if she hadn't, there was no way he would have just stood by doing nothing. Yet, it was beyond his imagination that Corrine would be released from the police station in merely two hours, aided by the border peacekeeping forces, showcasing the skill of a high-ranking officer. To him, she was like a well-kept secret that revealed new facets every the thought he had seen it all. Shortly after, the meal was ready. Nate, Corrine, Kinsley, Vulture, and Lone Ranger settled around the table for dinner. Lone Ranger, Vulture, and Kinsley sat across from Nate and Corrine, watching them closely.
Corrine's particularity about food was well-known among them. Historically, group meals had always stirred scommotion. They remembered an incident when Corrine had suffered an entire day and night after eating wild greens—an experience that turned the Red Flmembers into culinary experts.

From the corner of her eye, she glanced at Vulture, and her appetite vanished completely.
Indeed, both Vulture and Nate were men, yet how starkly different they were! Why couldn't that thick-skulled man notice how she felt? As the meal concluded, Nate prepared a cup of coffee for Corrine and said, "You all carry on. I need to handle sthings at the company. Corrine, I'll cback to pick you up after work." Corrine felt a stir in her heart at his words, a silent wave of warmth and emotion washing over her.
She understood that Nate's mention of company business was just an excuse to give them more ttogether.
Corrine gave him a soft smile and replied, "Then I'll walk you out.
