Chapter 94 Anytime, Anywhere

Since Corrine's departure from Ashton Group, she had become a complete mystery.

Even the surveillance footage documenting her movements had been meticulously erased, leaving no trace behind.

Bruce's brow furrowed deeply, a nagging suspicion brewing in his mind. Could Corrine be harboring a secret that had managed to slip past his keen perception?
