Chapter 6 Unwelcome

Shadow

When Corrine fell for Bruce, a man from the wrong side of the tracks, the prestigious Ford family-Corrine's mother's family-vehemently opposed their relationship. Yet Corrine, with her characteristic stubbornness, remained unmoved by their objections. Driven by what she believed to be true love, she severed ties with the Ford family, concealed her identity as Carl Ford's granddaughter, and immersed herself in the complicated world of the Ashton family.

Carl's fury erupted upon discovering her actions. In a calculated move to reclaim his granddaughter, he immediately froze her bank accounts, cutting off her financial lifeline.
