Chapter 530: Thirty minutes later, he walked out of the office, his mind a tangled mess of frustrations.
His thoughts churned, drowning out the world around him-until, suddenly, the car lurched. The tires screeched. The metal frtwisted violently as the vehicle slammed into a streetlamp.
By morning, news of the Ashton Group CEO's accident had spread like wildfire. Speculation swarmed the internet, forcing Ashton Group to act fast, sealing off any leaks before rumors could spiral out of control.

The car rolled to a smooth stop outside the Ford Group building. As Corrine stepped out, Matias sneaked a glance at Nate through the rearview mirror.
He hesitated.

Matias nodded without hesitation.
"No woman dislikes a well-planned date."
Nate leaned back, his gaze clouded with thought. Without another word, he pulled out his phone and began typing.
