Chapter 849: Her brows knitted together. "That is strange... where is it?" she muttered under her breath.

She was certain she had hidden it here. Did Tanya tidy it away? The thought nagged at her.

Lost in her musings, she turned, only to nearly jump out of her skin. Nate leaned lazily against the doorframe, watching her with an unreadable expression.

Her breath hitched. "When did you cout of the bathroom? How did you make no sound at all?" His lips curved ever so slightly. "The door was open, so I walked in," he said easily. His gaze flickered to the shelves behind her. "What are you looking for?" Corrine blinked, her mind racing. "Nothing," she answered too quickly. Feigning a yawn, she stretched her arms. "I am tired. I should sleep now." She moved to brush past him, but before she could take a step, his arm curled around her waist, pulling her against him. "You are acting strange tonight," he murmured, his deep voice vibrating against her skin.

Corrine forced a laugh, though it sounded hollow even to her ears. "Am I? Perhaps I am just tired." Nate arched a brow, studying her for a moment longer than necessary. Then, a slow smirk played on his lips. "Needto help you relax?" "No, thank you," Corrine declined swiftly, her tone firm.

Something about Nate felt different tonight—too eager, too insistent. He even offered to help her unwind, as if that was possible at this hour. Before she could dwell on it further, her phone buzzed, the timing almost impeccable.

A wave of relief washed over her as she walked over to the nightstand and snatched her phone up, her eyes lighting up with undisguised gratitude.

It was Karina.

A pause. Then Karina spoke again, hesitantly. "The Becker family covered all medical expenses and mental damages, but Moses and Zack must have had a hand in this. ve The Beckers packed Danna off and sent her abroad overnight. At this point, it is practically exile. I doubt she will ever return. I am not saying this to defend her, but I never expected those men to be this ruthless. If the Becker family had not compromised tonight, they might have lost everything in Lyhaton by morning."

Corrine's voice remained steady.

"Moses was not wrong Mercy has its ve place, but so does consequence."

Danna being discarded by her family was unfortunate, but herself to be veut she had only herself to blame. Had she not chosen this path, she would not have met this fate.
