Chapter 1724:
She remembered clearly. Corrine only tied her hair back when she was ready to act. And when she did, she
committed fully. There was no halfway with her.
Corrine’s voice was gentle, but her words landed with weight. “Mandy, | remember that old shoulder injury of
yours. You wouldn’t last more than two rounds against me.”
Mandy froze.
Corrine knew her far too well. And now, that familiarity had turned into a liability.
“Tellthe truth. Did something happen to him?”
Corrine’s voice remained steady, though only she knew the storm churning beneath the surface.
Mandy pressed her lips together, conflicted, her gaze fixed on Corrine. After a long silence, she finally spoke.
“Miss Holland, please trust him.” That response made Corrine’s stomach sink.
Her fists clenched at her sides, nails pressing hard into her palms.
Something had gone wrong. Nate was in danger; there was no other reason he would send her to Fragrance

Mandy hesitated when Corrine made no move toward the car. Then, after a moment's thought, she decided to
lay it all out. “Nate went to the Independent Continent and later boarded a private jet to a nearby island. Our
team spotted unidentified individuals infiltrating the island. That's when we lost contact with him. He vanished.
Jerhasn't been able to track him or pick up any signal since.”

Powell family still furious—if those two factions had joined forces, Nate might already be in serious trouble.

“Why did he need to go to that island in the first place?” Corrine asked, her tone sharpening.
“I'm sorry, Miss Holland. That's something only he can explain once he returns.” Mandy paused and then added
with quiet insistence, “Please believe in him. He'll make it back. Our team is conducting a full-scale search, and
we're expecting news soon.”
Corrine gave a slight, bitter smile. “So you expectto sit around and do nothing?”
Mandy was caught off guard by the bluntness of Corrine’s words and momentarily lost her footing in the
conversation.
After a moment's pause, she said, “Miss Holland, Nate always puts your safety above everything else. That's
why | hope you won't disregard what he’s done for your sake.”
Above everything else...
