The Betrayed Heiress' Return to Elegance 186

Upon his return to the Ashton estate, Bruce made his way directly to Farris' quarters.

Bruce's entrance caught Farris' attention, prompting him to pass the birdcage he held to a servant. "What has brought you here? Is there trouble at the company?"

Another servant set a glass of water before Bruce.

With the servant's departure, Bruce said, "Grandpa, Leah and I ran into Corrine while we were with Kason Collins today."

Farris simply met Bruce's eyes, silently urging him to go on.

"I observed a curious thing about Kason's behavior toward Corrine," Bruce said. "With

his elevated status, you'd think he'd barely acknowledge our Ashton family, and even less so Corrine. Yet, he approached her with an unexpected mix of respect and a touch

of fear."

Farris was somewhat acquainted with Kason's reputation.

Kason was known for his integrity and sternness. If not for the help he received from the Burgess family years ago, Leah would find it difficult to meet him now.

Farris' brow creased with concern. "Do you suspect that Corrine might have concealed parts of her background from us?"
