The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1077

Chapter 1077:

In the Grand Palace study, Nate sat in a chair, holding a black invitation card with gold embossing.

At the center of the card was a printed iris, its petals seeming to bloom as the light shifted.

Herbert's voice cthrough the phone. “You suddenly went after the collateral branches, and now people are

talking. You've always ignored them, but now you're willing to go to extremes for a woman. Isn’t that a bit

reckless?”

Herbert wasn’t expressing sympathy for the collateral branch members.

He was simply offering a clear, detached perspective.

Everyone knew the reality of the Hopkins family.

It was a brutal world where people could vanish without a trace. The more Nate showed he cared for Corrine, the

more danger she would attract.

By taking down a branch for her, it was only a matter of tbefore the truth cto light.

Once that happened, Corrine would face an even greater wave of deadly threats.

Many in the Hopkins family hated Nate, including his own father. They wanted to eliminate him, but they feared

his methods, so they kept their emotions in check.

But Corrine, the only woman by his side and the one who had won Nate's heart, was bound to beca target.

“I suggest you distance yourself from her,” Herbert said seriously. “Even if you care for her, try to hold back. You

took down a branch for her this time. What about the next time? You can’t just destroy everything every time

someone tries to kill her, can you?”

Nate set the invitation card down, tapping his fingers lightly on the surface. “Why not?” he replied casually.

Herbert fell silent on the other end of the line, as if his words had been ignored.
