The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1665:

Back in the private room, the joint meal between the Ford and Hoffman families began.

Carl, now frail with age, had to leave early due to his health.

Corrine escorted him to the car and turned back toward the building when a voice called out, “Miss Holland.”

She turned to find Zeke approaching, his expression composed, his tone formal.

“Mr. Cooper, is there something you need?” she asked with a polite, distant smile.

Zeke took a file from his assistant and stepped closer. “This is what you asked for.”

Inside were the legal documents regarding the Holland family villa. Corrine had tried to bid for the villa at an auction, but opposition from other influential families in Pinetree City had complicated things.

With few options left, she had struck a deal with Zeke. He would help her win the villa, and in return, she’d open doors for him in the Riverveille market.

“The auction for Holland Group is next week.” Zeke handed her the folder, his dark eyes watching her. “Don’t you want to take a look? Maybe it’ll spark something,” he thought.

Corrine didn’t even glance at the folder. “There’s no need.”
