Chapter 1086:

Word on the street was that the Quinn family’s heiress had been chosen as the future wife of Nate Hopkins.

Yet here was Nate, dropping six million without hesitation, only to turn around and hand the item over to this

woman. His intentions were crystal clear.

Had the rumors been wrong all along?

Corrine had no interest in their thoughts or whispers. She tilted her head slightly and then gave Mandy a simple

command. “Take it. We're leaving.”

Mandy moved without hesitation. She stepped forward, carefully wrapping the stone in red silk. With a graceful

turn, she tucked it under her arm and strode away.

“Wait.” A voice, deep and weathered by time, cut through the noise.

Corrine stopped mid-step. Slowly, she turned, her gaze meeting the eyes of the man who had spoken.

He emerged from the crowd, dressed in a light gray suit. In one hand, he idly rolled two walnuts between his

“Would you dare take a gamble with me?”

“Sorry, |...” Before Corrine could finish, the old man smoothly cut in. “If you lose, I'll take the hit. But if you win,

The moment the question left her lips, a ripple of laughter spread through the crowd. Sshook their heads,

amused. Others exchanged knowing glances. With an offer like that, she still had the nerve to ask why? Was she

out of her mind?

A voice rang out from the crowd. “Miss, do you even know who you're talking to? That's Mr. Jax Foster! When he

gives his word, he never goes back on it.”

The crowd urged Corrine to accept, warning her not to waste such a rare chance.

Jax, usually aloof and unapproachable, surprised everyone with his patience. His voice took on a gentler tone,

and a faint smile creased his forehead. “Because you remindof someone | once knew.”

“That's not much of a reason,” Corrine replied evenly. She showed no sign of being rattled by his unexpected

offer. Instead, she remained guarded, her expression unreadable.

Jax seemed to notice her hesitation.
