The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 311:

As he pondered this, Jules silently lamented their fate for a brief moment. Corrine’s transformation, however, caught him off guard. There was a time when Corrine would have risked everything for Bruce. Had she finally seen the light?

Jules glanced at Corrine, his eyes flickering with thought.

Looking up at Jules, Corrine responded, “I made a mistake from the beginning.” When she had inquired whether Bruce had visited Forestvale, his initial confusion turned to contempt, treating the place as if it were worthless.
