The Betrayed Heiress' Return to Elegance 99

Chapter 99 It's Your Fault

Corrine settled into a single-seater sofa, her posture rigid with defiance.

Her gaze swept coldly across the Ashton family women, led by Tracy, challenging them with an unspoken daring that seemed to crackle with barely contained tension.

"Leah got exactly what she deserved," Corrine said, her tone cold enough to freeze the

"That's ridiculous!" Rita shot back, jabbing a finger in Corrine's direction. Her voice was shrill with anger, like a knife scraping against metal. "If it weren't for you, you heartless woman, escalating everything on purpose, how would Leah have ended up completely blacklisted by the company? Ten million in compensation? Are you trying to ruin her completely? And now you sit there acting innocent, pretending it has nothing to do with you after destroying her career. You're unbelievable!"

Jealous of her better upbringing, her superior family, and, most of all, jealous that my brother chose her over you! That's why you jumped at the first chance to retaliate against her. Honestly, it's a blessing my brother left you. Marrying a spiteful woman like you would've brought nothing but ruin to this family!"
