Comeback Of The Adored Heiress

Chapter 1290:

Her first instinct was to turn back, but as she stood amidst the bustling streets, staring at the unfamiliar yet breathtaking cityscape, something inside her refused to retreat.

She had come this far. Would she really walk away now?

Uncertain of her next move, she clutched her phone tightly. That was when she noticed a new post on Waylon’s social media.

It was a photo of the morning sunrise. She recognized the backdrop instantly—a corner of Mila’s Fashion Square.

It wasn’t far. Evie pursed her lips. She would go take a look.

At the Fashion Square in Mila, Jenny Holmes sat on a bench, casting a frustrated glance at her best friend and business partner, Waylon.

Something was off about him. She couldn’t pinpoint exactly what, but after that phone call, his entire demeanor had changed. Now, he was like a man burdened by a thousand regrets. Once the workday ended, he had dragged her here, and they had been drinking until dawn. Jenny lifted her gaze to the dimly lit sky, her thoughts interrupted when Waylon twisted open yet another bottle of beer.

She stamped her foot impatiently before speaking, her voice tinged with concern.
