Chapter 204 Pulling Her

Into The Room

Corrine had just stepped outside when the group of men in black quietly dispersed, clearly following someone's earlier command.

"Sure!".

The positive murmurs surrounding Corrine weren't accidental; they were masterfully planned by Karina.

This strategic maneuvering in public perception could be partly credited to Karina's shrewd handling.
