The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1108:

Darrion’s expression darkened. “Enough!” he snapped, his fury barely contained. “Nate destroyed my family. I’ll make him feel that same agony!”

At his signal, a wave of men in black surged forward.

“Miss Holland, you—”

Mandy’s sentence was abruptly cut off as Corrine launched herself from the car’s roof, driving her knee into an attacker’s chest. The impact sent him crashing into the men behind him.

Presley stood frozen in disbelief. That night on the island, Mandy had told him Corrine was an exceptional fighter, but witnessing it firsthand was another thing entirely. The men in black were no amateurs either—they were well-trained and highly skilled.

Darrion watched Corrine with mild intrigue. She was unlike what he had anticipated—beautiful yet deadly. If his men underestimated her for even a moment, she’d tear through them. Each of the four…

People were expert combatants. Darrion doubted that even his hundred-strong force would be enough to overpower them.

But he had another plan.

“Bring her here,” he ordered sharply.noveldrama

“Yes, sir!” one of his men responded immediately, disappearing for a moment before returning with a large bag.

He tossed it to the ground and roughly yanked Karina out by the neck.

“If you don’t want her to die, I suggest you stop now,” Darrion threatened.

A gunshot rang out, and Corrine came to an abrupt halt.

Her eyes flickered with emotion at the sight of Karina.

She hadn’t expected Darrion to capture her.

The bright lights made Karina squint, and when her vision adjusted, she saw Corrine. Tears welled in her eyes.

But sensing Corrine’s worry, she forced herself to suppress her fear and smile. With the tape over her mouth, it looked more like a grimace.

“State your terms,” Corrine said coldly, wasting no time.

Darrion was momentarily surprised by her directness, but it played in his favor.

“Simple,” he said. “I want you to kill Nate.”

Saul and the others stiffened immediately.

Plenty of people wanted Nate dead, but few had the ability to make it happen.

Corrine, however, was different.

She was the one person Nate let his guard down around.

If she chose to betray him, the job would be effortless.

With the way Nate was fixated on her, he might even hand over his life willingly.

Corrine’s lips curled into a faint smile, yet her eyes were as cold as steel.

“I offered you a chance to negotiate, not fantasize.”
