Chapter 1123: Previously, she had used Leah to target Corrine, and now she was manipulating Darrion to challenge both Nate and Corrine. Andromache was indeed a venomous, vindictive woman.

A flicker of anticipation lit up Karina's eyes. "What are you planning?" she asked eagerly.

For someone who delighted in being the center of attention, like a celebrated socialite, there was no greater punishment than a fall from grace into the depths of obscurity.

Just the previous night, Nate had shown signs of jealousy and om competitiveness, and now Moses seemed eager to take Karina away. It was hard not to suspect it was at Nate's request.
Nate met Corrine's gaze with composed calmness, his expression unreadable. This silent exchange made Corrine wonder if she was reading too much into the situation.
