The Betrayed Heiress' Return to Elegance 161

Chapter 161 Completely Wrong

At the Ashton residence, Rita stared blankly at the television screen, unable to tear her

eyes away.

She had never expected events to spiral so dramatically, ending in a way she couldn't

have fathomed.

The heads of CBP and the cultural relic department had publicly stepped forward to clear Corrine's name, not only exonerating her but also unveiling her esteemed status

as a first-class restoration specialist and a special consultant.

Farris sat in silence, his expression grim as the weight of the revelation sank in. Even

consultant for the cultural relic department.
