Most people, even skilled players, would have held back. They would have played below their abilities, allowing
him to win or at least forcing a draw to save face.
Corrine did no such thing. She had met his challenge head-on, striking with precision and refusing to soften her
edge. She had tried to leave him with no choice but to accept total defeat.
Corrine wasn't simply acting on impulse or pride. It felt more like she was seeking his recognition through her
bold approach.
Ralph leaned back slightly and spoke to the butler with an air of authority. “Since this is Miss Holland's first visit,

The butler dipped his head in acknowledgment, a practiced smile on his face. He turned to Corrine and said
smoothly, “Miss Holland, if you would cwith me.”

After exchanging brief farewells, she left with the butler.
Nate’s brows knitted together slightly as he watched her go, his gaze lingering.

through the trees. Everything else seemed to fade into nothingness.

weight. “Marry the girl from the Quinn family, and | won't stand in the way of whatever you choose to do with
Corrine.”

At that, a sharp glint flashed in Nate's otherwise cold eyes. A storm of emotion brewed beneath his controlled
exterior. “Corrine will be my future wife, your future granddaughter-in-law.”
Though Nate's voice remained light, his words carried the weight of an unshakable decision. There was no room
for argument.
Ralph's face stayed unreadable. His
voice was Sod Brest aerily Ealm.
