The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 834:

“Beautiful lady, may I have the honor of this dance?” A poised hand extended before her, and Corrine glanced up to find Nate standing close, his presence effortless yet commanding. A faint smile graced her lips. “Of course.”

The two stepped onto the dance floor, and the crowd instinctively parted, giving them space.

The grand hall pulsed with elegant music, transforming the atmosphere into something almost surreal—an opulent dream of silk, chandeliers, and enchantment.

The guests lost themselves in the melody’s allure, all except for one: Danna.

After suffering Nate’s cold indifference, she had considered leaving in humiliation. But the thought of retreating while Corrine remained was unbearable. She was a well-off young lady, not someone who could be so easily discarded. Aside from looks, in what way was she inferior to Corrine?

If Corrine could stay, why should she flee in disgrace?

Her eyes never left them, tracking their every move, jealousy twisting inside her as Nate’s hand rested on Corrine’s waist.
