The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 890:

“Corrine, over here!” Karina’s loud voice interrupted Bruce, calling from across the lobby. Karina rushed toward Corrine, her eyes sweeping over Bruce with clear disdain, as if he were something unpleasant to look at.

The open contempt stung, and Bruce couldn’t help but feel insulted. He frowned, his voice tight. “You didn’t come to see me?”

Corrine scoffed. “Mr. Ashton, you’re giving yourself too much credit.”

“Corrine?” Tracy’s voice rang out from behind. Spotting Corrine, Tracy marched over quickly in her high heels, clearly ready for a confrontation. “What are you doing here? What do you want? Listen up, today’s Bruce and Leah’s engagement. You’d better behave yourself, or the Ashton family won’t let you off easy!”

Corrine didn’t even flinch at Tracy’s warning. She glanced up, her eyes skimming over Bruce without a hint of interest. “Congrats. You finally got what you wanted.”

Bruce’s face tightened at her words, his lips pressing together as his fists clenched at his sides.
