NovelUpdateChapter 926: Still, Farris knew that if it hadn't been for Corrine, the Ashton family would have gone under years ago.
The room fell quiet. Outside, Tracy was fuming.
If Millard hadn't held her back, she would have stormed in.

"You shouldn't have stopped me!" Tracy hissed angrily. "I need to know what he's thinking! Giving everything to an outsider instead of us. Has he lost his mind?" Millard thought for a moment before speaking. "Dad must have his reasons and plans. We don't need to worry." "No way!" Tracy shot back, pushing his hand away. "I don't care about his reasons. I can't just stand by and let an outsider take what's ours!" With that, she turned and walked out, not looking back.
Corrine's phone rang, and she answered it with a furrowed brow. This odd family never missed an opportunity to make their presence felt.
"Miss Holland, if possible, I'd like to meet you privately to discuss something," Tracy said, trying to sound polite, but her tone was dripping with arrogance.
Corrine closed the contract in front of her, spinning a pen between her fingers. "Sorry, that's not going to happen." Tracy was momentarily caught off guard.
She gripped the phone tightly, trying to hold back her frustration. "With Mr. Hopkins backing you, no wonder you think you're above us." Corrine's eyes narrowed, her voice cold. "What are you trying to say?" Tracy hesitated, then spoke earnestly. "You've done well with Mr. Hopkins' help. You must not care about the Ashton..." "With him by your side, your future is secure. I'm sure you don't need Farris' small inheritance, right?" Inheritance? Corrine frowned slightly.

After she and Bruce split, he tried again, calling it an apology. But m Corrine knew it was just a just a cover-up.
The real goal was to keep her connected to the Ashton family. She had to admit, Farris was clever and calculating.
He was using the inheritance to trap her, forcing her to stay tied to the sinking ship that was the Ashton family!
"Miss Holland, with Mr. Hopkins, you must have bigger opportunities. If ave you have children with him, your status will rise even more. Farris' small inheritance is nothing to you," Tracy went on.
"You cto the Ashton family with nothing, and Farris treated you well. For old times' sake, you should help him avoid making a mistake, right?" Tracy pressed.
