NovelApexChapter 1662:
She had been jealous of Corrine for as long as she could remember.
The first tshe met Corrine at the Ford family mansion, she had sensed something different. Even then,
Corrine had been quiet and reserved, but her beauty and grace were impossible to ignore. There was something
otherworldly about her, something that felt unreachable.
Try as she might, Callie had never been able to match that elegance. Every attempt to imitate Corrine only
invited ridicule.
And now, watching Corrine bask in admiration among the most distinguished guests, Callie’s jealousy seethed.
Since Jayden’s incident, Chelsea's relationship with the Hoffman family had cooled. The once-frequent invitations
stopped. When Callie showed up unannounced, they always had excuses ready to turn her away. Over time, the
distance becpermanent. The marriage arrangement with the Cooper family in Pinetree City had quietly
dissolved and was never brought up again.
Callie knew then that Chelsea would no longer fight for her.
While Callie’s world slowly crumbled, Corrine only rose higher, shining with a brilliance that made everything
else fade in comparison. Callie’s nails dug into her palms as she clenched her fists, but she didn’t feel the pain.

and added,
“If | were you, I'd accept reality and walk away for good.”
Callie stared at Gregory, her gaze cold.
He kept talking, mostly to himself.
“Speople are just born lucky. They float through life like it’s nothing—getting everything the rest of us only
dream about. It's like the universe rolls out the red carpet just for them.”
Status, wealth, and power—things others chased their whole lives—meant nothing next to those lucky ones.
Sof them didn’t even need love.

In Gregory's eyes, Corrine was exactly that kind of person.
“Callie, you'll never compare to her,” Gregory said, his voice steady.
Corrine was simply out of Callie’s league.
Corrine was the heiress of the Ford family. She was loved, protected, and admired. And her boyfriend? Nate—
head of the powerful Hopkins family from the Independent Continent.
Either one of those alone would overwhelm the Hoffmans. But Corrine had both.
From now on, everyone in Lyhaton would know—Corrine was untouchable.
Callie knew everything Gregory said was true. But jealousy had long taken root in her heart.
