The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1106:

His words, though polite toward Ralph, only stoked the flames of division within the family.

The Hopkins family had once been torn apart by a brutal fight for leadership, leading to betrayal and bloodshed. To avoid more tragedy, Ralph had made Nate the head at a crucial moment. Nate had proven himself to Ralph, calming the unrest in just six months. But his rise stirred discontent, especially among Ralph’s sons. They resented both Nate and Ralph. They couldn’t understand why Ralph had skipped over his sons and handed control of the family to his grandson.

Merrick’s words reignited the simmering anger among the group.

Before Ralph could respond, the butler rushed in.

He noticed all eyes on him, took a deep breath, and quickly made his way to Ralph. Leaning in, he whispered, “Sir, Mr. Nate Hopkins has left!” Though he spoke softly, Merrick, ever calculating, caught the whisper. He set his coffee down with a soft thud, capturing everyone’s attention.

“As head of the Hopkins family, leaving without a word is quite disrespectful to all of us,” Merrick said, igniting a wave of murmurs from the others.

Seeing things get out of hand, Ralph raised his hand to calm the room. The group had long held grudges against Nate, and now they had a perfect excuse to voice their discontent. They weren’t going to let it slip by.

One by one, they listed Nate’s past mistakes for the Elder Council.

As darkness fell, a black Bugatti Veyron roared through the streets, as fast as a bolt of lightning. Nate gripped the wheel so tightly his arm muscles stood out. In the dim light, his sharp features seemed more intense, making the fury in his eyes even clearer.

While he was driving, Moses called. “Nate, we lost track of Corrine once they went into a tunnel.”

“Get there now, and hurry!” Nate barked, his voice hard.

After ending the call, Nate floored the accelerator.

Corrine’s car had been cruising along without issue until they entered the tunnel.

As they neared the tunnel’s exit, a massive truck suddenly sped toward their convoy, sending the lead car flying over ten feet before it barreled straight toward Corrine’s vehicle.noveldrama

Mandy reacted fast, swerving the car to dodge the wreck, but another car blocked their way out.

With nowhere else to go, Corrine and Mandy were forced to leap from the car to escape.

Just then, the tunnel exit collapsed.

Presley clicked his tongue and grinned. “Well, now this is getting interesting.”

He shared a 100k with Saul, and together, they opened their car doors and stepped out at the same time.

Saul and Presley quickly caught up with Mandy and Corrine.

“The signal’s getting weaker here…”

Mandy tried to call Nate to update him, but the weak signal made it impossible to connect.
