Chapter 856: Carl's cane, a symbol of his power, wasn't just for show. It had real weight behind it. Even Waldo and Jayden couldn't take a hit from it, let alone Corrine, who had always been sheltered.

Corrine waved him off. "Leland, I'm fine. You should go back to my grandfather." Leland, having known Corrine since she was little, knew better than to argue when she had made up her mind. He nodded, though reluctantly. But as he reached the door, he stopped. He turned around, paused, and then spoke slowly. "Miss Holland, don't blyour grandfather. He cares about you, even if his way of showing it wasn't the best." "I know," Corrine said quietly.

Once Leland left, Corrine stood up and walked into the lounge. She rolled up her sleeve and saw a dark bruise spreading across her arm, a patchwork of pain. She furrowed her brows slightly.

In truth, Carl had held back. If he hadn't, it wouldn't have just been a bruise.

Somehow, the news of what happened reached Jayden and Waldo. The two brothers arrived at Corrine's office together, almost like they had planned it.

"What are you two doing here?" Corrine asked, eyeing her uncles.

Jayden's sharp features were shadowed by a cold expression, as if a layer of ice had settled on his face. "We heard Dad hit you. We cto see if you were really hurt." "Yeah, are you badly hurt?" Waldo asked, stepping forward and tugging at Corrine's sleeve.

Jayden's expression darkened instantly. He kicked Waldo hard in the backside. "Show srespect!" he snapped.

Waldo rubbed his sore backside, realizing only then how out of line he had been. Corrine wasn't a child anymore. Rubbing his head awkwardly, he muttered, "I was just worried..." Jayden handed her a small, sky-blue bottle with intricate designs. "This is a special ointment. It's great for bruises and swelling. You should try it." Corrine took the bottle, her fingers playing with it as a faint, knowing smile appeared in her eyes.

The bottle looked familiar—almost identical to the one Nate had given her. The only difference was a steel stamp from Research Institute 101 at the bottom of this one.

"What did you do to upset your grandpa?" Waldo asked, his curiosity piqued.

No one knew better than the two brothers how much Carl adored Corrine. He would do anything for her, always giving her the best of everything. They had to settle for what she didn't want. No matter what, Carl had never raised a hand to her.

They were desperate to figure out what she could have said to make him so angry.

Corrine absentmindedly spun the bottle in her fingers and replied m casually "Grandpa wantsto break up with Nate."

"That's it?" Waldo asked, his eyes wide in disbelief. The content is on OV novelenglish.net!
