The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 39 The Ford Family

Nate's eyes met Matias' with a fleeting look.

Understanding the unspoken instruction, Matias responded, "I'm on it

immediately."

Just ten minutes later, Matias returned to the conference room, his face serious. He noticed that a cold tension

had filled the air. Clearly, someone had made the mistake of angering Nate.

Regaining his composure, Matias quickly approached Nate and handed him a tablet. "Sir, please take a look at

this."

Nate accepted the tablet, which showed footage of Corrine entering the Ashton Group premises.

As he observed her poised and graceful figure, Nate's expression turned sharply concerned. "How did her resignation go?"

"Without any issues," Matias responded, providing every detail about Corrine's resignation, though his voice wavered slightly toward the end.

Nate's expression hardened, his eyes cutting through Matias like a knife.

Matias cleared his throat, proceeding with caution. "We lost sight of Miss Holland. After she left the Ashton Group offices, it appears all nearby surveillance systems stopped working."

It was evident that someone was intentionally obscuring Corrine's movements.

The room instantly felt colder, as if winter's chill had settled in.

Nate's stare was stern and penetrating, his mouth set in a thin line, exuding a dangerous aura.

Matias, standing nearby, felt the overwhelming force of Nate's anger, his forehead beading with sweat..

Nate was visibly furious.

After a brief pause, Matias said, "Sir, I've deployed agents to look into it. We expect to have updates shortly."

"And how soon might that be?" Nate's tone was both calm and chilling, making one uneasy.

A chill ran through Matias as he sensed Nate questioning his competency.

Right before he was about to apologize, Nate abruptly stood up. "This meeting is over."

He then exited the room, walking briskly with confident steps.

Matias quickly packed up the papers scattered on the table and hurried after Nate, making calls to push his team to expedite their investigation.noveldrama

Upon reaching Nate's office, Matias received the investigation report on his phone and quickly reviewed the details, his expression turning more serious,

He wasted no time upon entering the office and handed the phone over to Nate. "Sir, please take a look."

Nate's stern expression softened slightly as he went over the details, and the cold atmosphere around him gradually lightened.

A slight, nearly undetectable smile appeared on Nate's face, his voice carrying a note of curiosity. "Ah, the Ford.

family."

"Should we proceed with the investigation, sir?"

Considering the recent events related to Corrine, Matias had decided to be more vigilant.

He was now committed to reporting anything related to her directly to Nate without delay.

Matias stood nearby, waiting for Nate's instructions, but Nate didn't respond.

Suspicious, Matias glanced over and saw Nate's reflection in the large, pristine window that acted almost like a

mirror.

Nate stood with his back to him, busily typing something on his phone. A slight grimace crossed Matias' face.

Though Nate had added Corrine on WhatsApp, they hadn't exchanged messages since she asked to visit Evelyn.

Nate's fingers moved quickly over the screen, typing, “What are you up to?"

Before sending it, he felt it came across as too intrusive and inappropriate.

His brow furrowed as he deleted it and typed a new message, asking. "Have you had lunch?"

But this also felt dull and impersonal.

After several attempts, Nate settled on sending merely a rose emoji, abandoning his initial efforts.
