NovelEnglishChapter 1712:
Jules’ face set in a grim line upon seeing the blood on her forehead. “We're going to the hospital.”
Rachel regarded Corrine with worry. “Are you sure you're alright?”
“I'm fine,” Corrine assured her, her eyes tracking the road.
The truck that hit her was accelerating away, vanishing into the distance.
“That was no accident—it was intentional, probably on someone’s orders,” Rachel surmised, her voice steady.
“We'll check the surveillance cameras nearby. They might give us sleads.”
Corrine nodded in agreement and said to Jules, “First, let's head to your place.” A hospital visit would surely draw
Nate's attention.
“Understood.”
They soon reached Jules’ villa, where a doctor was already waiting to tend to her injuries.
The sight of blood on Corrine’s face prompted the doctor into swift action, addressing her wounds with expert

“Are you going to cout willingly, or do | need to cin and drag you out?” Nate's voice was low and cold,
his anger palpable.
Panic flickered in Corrine’s eyes. She rose swiftly and moved toward the window. Spotting a familiar car parked
outside, her heart dropped. She had intended to keep the accident a secret, but it seemed impossible now.
“Wait for me.”
After ending the call, she turned to face Jules.
Before Corrine could utter a word, Jules dismissed her with a scornful look. “Move quickly, before your fiancé
breaks the door down.”
Corrine exhaled. That was indeed a move characteristic of Nate.
