Chapter 274 Corrine's Cunning Nature
Evidence suggested that Jacob had been hiding his true identity, all the while keeping a close watch on Corrine.
They needed to take measures to prevent any potential threats.
But when Matias voiced his concerns, Nate dismissed them, saying, "Let's keep this under wraps for now."
Matias was taken aback. He had always believed that Corrine's safety was Nate's
utmost concern.
Yet, before he could further contemplate, Nate decisively ordered, "Arrange for our team to guard her."
"Understood, Mr. Hopkins," Matias responded.
Corrine had planned to use her week off to spend twith Nate. But an unexpected
business trip had taken him away, leaving her to fend for herself.
She lay listlessly in bed, passing the tby watching video clips.
Then, sudden, sharp knocks at her door broke the monotony, each one more insistent

than the last.
"Coming!" she called out, throwing on a jacket as she left her bedroom and opened the door with a trace of
impatience.
Her irritation was evident when she saw Jules standing there. "What brings you here?"
"Have you had breakfast yet?” Jules asked as he presented a set of food boxes, adding, "I picked up segg
tarts from Jennifer's Bakery. They're your favorite, still warm and soft. Go ahead, eat."
Corrine raised an eyebrow slightly. "Did you call this way just to bring me

breakfast?"
"It's also my mom's birthday celebration tonight. You didn't forget, did you?" Jules
inquired.
"I have her gift ready," Corrine replied as she headed to the bathroom to freshen up.
Exiting the bathroom, she noticed Jules examining the tiara with keen interest. Corrine rushed over. "Please, put
that down!"
Jules laughed off her anxiety. "Is that really necessary? It's hardly a relic."
He observed as Corrine carefully placed the tiara back into its case. "I heard the news that last night, a wealthy
idiot paid billions for a tiara replica. | didn't expect you to be
that rich fool."
Corrine was at a loss for words.
"Be straight with me. Is there a hidden treasure map inside?" Jules asked, his curiosity piqued.
He was well aware that Corrine wouldn't make a losing bet.
Given the huge sum she'd spent on the tiara, Jules suspected it harbored ssecret
value.
Corrine took a large bite of an egg tart and responded with a flat, "No comment." Jules didn't push further.
Instead, he sighed casually. "Well, about that matter you wantedto look into..."

Corrine's interest was piqued immediately. "What have you uncovered?"
Jules raised his eyebrow, smiling mischievously. "No comment."
Corrine found herself speechless.
Her faint smile sent chills down jules’ spine.
Despite her seemingly delicate demeanor, Jules was aware of her cunning nature. He suspected she had plans in
place that would make his life exceedingly difficult.
Unable to contain himself, Jules finally answered, "I've reorganized the timeline of the entire incident and came
across sleads. Remember the widely publicized shootout in Forestvale five years ago? That night, a group
appeared, apparently searching for

someone. They intended to ensnare their quarry in a trap, but their plans
backfired disastrously. I'm convinced the individual who rescued you that night was their actual
target."
"And then?" Corrine's brow creased with concern.
