The Betrayed Heiress' Return to Elegance 243

Chapter 243 Would You Join Me Tonight

To Corrine, the Ashton family had grown as remote as strangers. Perhaps the realization came when she severed her ties with Bruce, or maybe it was when she recognized that Bruce was not the savior she had been seeking all along. It might even have been the moment she acknowledged that her feelings for Bruce were not rooted in love but in dependency.

resentment.

"I committed to staying out of it, but I won't let them continue unchecked." Nate's eyes held a depth that was both intriguing and slightly intimidating, a quiet confidence emanating from him.

He believed that the troubles Corrine faced were solely the doing of the Ashton family.

In his view, eliminating the Ashton family from Corrine's life would usher in calm and
