Chapter 60 A Rewarding
Task
Karina''s gaze snapped to Corrine as she listened, her lips curling into at mocking smile.
Identifying the mastermind was not challenging.
After a brief moment of thought, it became obvious-Leah, that relentless fool, was behind it all.
Karina remembered warning Corrine to be careful of Leah''s retaliation, astonished at how quickly her prediction came true.
She was curious to see if Leah could afford the consequences of her actions.
Leaning forward, Karina inquired, "What do you n to do about her?"
A cold smile curved on Corrine''s lips, carrying the lethal charm of a poppy. "I think I''ll entertain her games a while longer."
Corrine had thought that taking down the viral posts would rein in Leah''s behavior, but Leah seemed eager to stir up even more trouble.
Turning away, Corrine pulled out her phone and sent a message to Jules.
"I need a favor."
Jules called her immediately, his tone casual. "Corrine, you don''t waste any time when ites to asking for favors, do you?"
"I''ll send you a file shortly. Help me pin a video to the top of all major forums. Title it ''Popr Actress Colludes with Unknown Criminal Forces to Commit Violence in Public.'' Make the font big and bold, as obvious ast possible!" Corrine instructed casually. She added, "Be sure to blur the faces -I can''t risk my grandfather finding out."
Jules grumbled, "Am I really needed for such trivial things?"
"It''s no trivial matter when your help is needed," Corrine retorted, quickly sending a document to Jules on WhatsApp.
As Karina examined her damaged car, she fought back her dismay and caught up
to Corrine,ining, "You should''ve just revealed your real. identity and put
her in her ce. I''d like to see her arrogance after that!"
"I intentionally kept my distance from the Ford family back then," Corrine
exined. "Plus, the Ford family don''t unt their wealth."
This rule stemmed from an incident in her mother''s childhood-a
kidnapping. After Kiley was safely recovered, Carl concealed all family details to protect her.
Consequently, only a select few knew of Kiley and Corrine-Carl''s daughter and granddaughter.
Jules, having downloaded the file, scrutinized it intently. His expression was icy, a frost seeming to settle on his eyebrows. He muttered under his - breath, "She''s really pushing her luck!"
His fingers flew over the keyboard, entering strings ofplexmands. As he navigated through Leah''s data, a mischievous grin appeared on his
face.
How intriguing!
In another part of town, Matias received the rming update and dashed
into the CEO''s office.
A look of annoyance crossed Nate''s face at Matias'' abrupt entrance.
"Sir, there''s trouble involving Miss Hond," Matias reported, presenting his phone
to Nate. "This afternoon, she narrowly escaped an assault by unidentified assants in the underground parking lot. Fortunately, she was unharmed. The suspects are now in custody and under interrogation."

"Good job," Nate said, handing back the phone.
Matias epted the phone with a modest grin as Nate''s voice, cool and detached, added, "Let finance know to double your bonus this month."
It seemed that helping Corrine was definitely a rewarding task!
Matias fought back a grin, respectfully replying, "Thank you, sir!"
"Keep the online discussions clean. I want nothing that could sour her mood. Ensure there are no negative remarks about her anywhere," Nate instructed, rising from his chair.
He walked toward the expansive window with a purposeful stride, his presence dominating the room.
Although the statement was short, Matias could feel the fierce and ruthless aura behind it.
He nced at his boss''s back, his gaze intensifying with understanding.
The recent peaceful life had perhaps dulled his awareness of Nate''s true
nature.
Hidden beneath Nate''s charming facade was a mind both strategic and merciless.
Matias lowered his gaze and responded, "Yes, sir!"
