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.
