?Chapter 1489:

    They had sabotaged the brakes and driven her into this trap.

    Here, in this territory, Corrine was cornered with no escape.

    Dewey rapped on the car window. “Corrine, step out. We need to talk.”

    No sooner had he spoken than a loud noise erupted from inside the vehicle, causing Dewey to recoil, anxious that Corrine might fight back.

    As Dewey stepped back, Corrine forcefully kicked open the car door. The airbag had already cushioned the impact, wrapping around her like a shield, leaving her unscathed.

    She smoothed her clothes and stepped toward Dewey in her high heels, maintainingpleteposure.

    Dewey narrowed his eyes as he scanned her. “Corrine, I wouldn’t havee this far if you hadn’t pushed me into a corner. I’m at my limit.”

    Corrine met his gaze with icy resolve. “It seems shutting down your operations for corrections wasn’t enough to teach you a lesson.”

    Her words hit hard.

    Dewey’s expression shifted instantly.

    Lately, misfortunes had befallen the Hond family, and Dewey had suspected the involvement of the Ford family and Corrine, though proof had eluded him. Now, her words seemed to confirm his fears.

    That spiteful woman had truly set her sights on destroying the Hond family.

    Dewey couldn’t help but wonder what sins he hadmitted in a past life to end up dealing with both Kiley and Corrine. He even thought that if he had snuffed out Corrine the day she was born, none of this betrayal would have taken root.

    The longer he dwelled on it, the hotter his rage burned. It climbed fast, like mes fed by gasoline. Without a second thought, he raised his hand to strike her across the face.

    However, Corrine deftly moved aside, causing Dewey’s aggressive swing to miss entirely.

    His failed attempt to hit her threw off his bnce. Lurching forward, he barely managed to steady himself on the car hood, preventing a fall.

    Dewey glowered at Corrine, his expression darkening. “You!” he spat, his voice thick with anger. “You ungrateful brat! You’ve been a parasite on the Hond family for years, yet you keep undermining us. I should have ended this long ago!”

    Corrine’s mouth twisted into a subtle smile, though her gaze remained icy. “It’s unfortunate you missed that crucial chance eighteen years ago. You won’t get another,” she said coolly.

    Back then, rissa and Nic had conspired against her. They falsely used Corrine of pushing Nic down the stairs, aiming to disinherit her and banish her from the family.
