Chapter 1728:
With a deep breath, Corrine pulled her eyes away from the heavens and walked back into the cabin.
“Takethere,” she demanded, showing Jonathan the coordinates on her phone.
He glanced at the screen. His brow furrowed with concern. “That's not a place you just show up at.”
He knew the risks all too well. Years of being Nate's rival had taught him the kind of hell someone could face on
that island. And now, Corrine wanted to walk straight into it.
Corrine remained silent, her gaze fixed firmly on him, filled with determination. That resolute look made Jonathan
clench his teeth. “Corrine, what are you trying to accomplish? Is a man really worth this risk?”
He struggled to understand her perspective. Could a man truly be worth more than her own safety? It wasn't as
if men were a rare species. If Nate disappeared from her life, she could always meet someone else. Jonathan had
never imagined that Corrine could be so irrational when it cto love.
“You wouldn't understand. You're not the one standing where | am,” she said, her voice tinged with sadness that
unexpectedly tugged at Jonathan's heart, stirring an irritation he couldn't quite place.
“I know you're concerned for Nate, but you have to see that the world isn’t as straightforward as you perceive it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtto be,” Jonathan said, trying to reason with her. His patience was evident despite her silence. “Where there is
light, shadows fall. The places that seem peaceful may appear so, but those that are unreachable are often
steeped in violence and chaos. Do you grasp what I'm saying?”
“But Nate is there,” Corrine replied plainly. Her tone was even and devoid of emotion, yet her resolve was
unmistakable.
Jonathan stared at her, taking in the way she stood her ground. After a moment, his lips curled into a tight smile,
his voice sharp with exasperation. “You know, | honestly feel like strangling you right now.” She was losing
herself— all for one man.

In previous encounters, whether during meetings or sparring sessions, Jonathan grudgingly acknowledged that
Corrine’s skills were extraordinary, a brilliant testament to the teachings she had absorbed from Jacob. Yet, this
exceptional training hardly guaranteed she was equipped to confront the lurking dangers awaiting her on that
island.
“Corrine, do you truly understand Nate?” Jonathan pressed, his voice laced with doubt. He suspected that
Corrine’s fierce determination stemmed more from her knowledge of the Hopkins family’s business affairs than
any genuine understanding of Nate himself.
Corrine remained silent, merely lifting her gaze to meet his, her eyes challenging.
Unexpectedly, Jonathan's lips curled into a sneer. “Truly, ignorance is fearless, isn’t it?” he drawled.
His words, dripping with venomous
sarcasm), caused Corrine to from
