Chapter 752: Her mind went completely blank, and she stumbled backward, barely able to stay upright.

How could this be? How could Emily and Luna be involved with Ford Group? Her mind raced, piecing it all together. Had they always been playing her? Had they pretended to be on her side just to get close to her? Her fists clenched so tightly that her nails dug into her palms.

After what felt like an eternity, Leah managed to refocus. "Do we know who's buying the company shares?" Corey shook his head, his expression grim.

If he knew, he wouldn't be in this predicament.

"Any word from Bruce's investigation into Corrine?" he asked, a flicker of suspicion in his voice.

He couldn't shake the feeling that this entire mess had something to do with her.

Things had seemed settled with Corrine-until now. Who could have anticipated such a turn of events? Corrine was truly a harbinger of chaos, a walking storm that left destruction in her wake.

It was as though she carried misfortune in her very presence-nothing ever seemed to go right when she was involved.

Leah shook her head slowly, her face etched with frustration. "No, nothing yet." Earlier, after Bruce had been duped by the private investigator, he had shifted his focus to Corrine's origins. But after a thorough search, they found nothing tying her to the place she was born.

Corey's brow furrowed slightly as he answered the call.

"Mr. Burgess, bad news! All the partners we were negotiating with-they're pulling out." The assistant's voice crackled urgently through the line, loud enough for Leah to hear every word.

Her heart skipped a beat as she rushed to Corey's side. "But we have signed contracts! If they breach them, they have to pay double the penalty!"

The assistant's voice trembled with stress. "The contract stipulates that if any negative news about the m company surfaces during the contract period, the partners have the right to terminate it. Now, we're the ones facing the penalties, not them." In that moment, the floor beneath Leah seemed to crumble.

Corey's expression remained unreadable as he spoke into them V phone.
