Chapter 1718:
Jules observed the estate with cold, calculating eyes, watching for any movement.
“Sir, shall we go in?” his assistant asked.
Jules held a cigarette between his fingers, leaning back in his seat with casual indifference. A slight smile tugged
at his lips as he released a quiet sigh. “With Nate involved, | won't have any chance to prove myself tonight.”
Though his words suggested frustration, his expression revealed genuine relief. He knew Nate would protect
Corrine. And even if Nate chose not to completely destroy the Garcia family, Jules was certain they would pay
dearly for having hurt Corrine.
Colton barked out orders, urging everyone to grab only what was essential and abandon the rest.
There was no tto waste—escape had to cfirst.
Nate’s bold strike on the Garcia Estate laid bare the entire plot: Fabian’s attempt to hire someone to kill Corrine

Pinetree City and stall the Ford family’s expansion. He never imagined it would spiral this far. For the first time
since inheriting leadership, Fabian had suffered a devastating blow.
The sting of being outplayed—especially by a woman—clenched tight in his chest. A metallic taste filled his
mouth as he suddenly coughed up blood. “Ugh.”
“Honey!”
“Dad!”
Panic overtook his wife and children. Servants scrambled in all directions, the room erupting in chaos.
Colton’s face tensed with alarm, but he forced composure into his voice. “Don’t just stand there—call an
ambulance!”
The family paced in restless silence, waiting for an ambulance. Then, a servant burst through the door, gasping
