The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1014:

Over the years, Herbert had encountered countless women, each more stunning than the last. He had thought himself immune to beauty. Yet, Corrine was different. She wasn’t just a woman of looks—she was a force, someone who refused to blend into the mold of traditional elegance.

But the Hopkins family was no ordinary one—it was a dynasty steeped in power struggles, riddled with schemes and betrayals. Some of the collateral branches even conspired with each other, eager for a piece of the pie from the main branch. Sooner or later, conflict would erupt.

And in this ruthless game, Corrine was nothing but a weakness to Nate.

“Well, Herbert, if Nate has chosen her, she can’t be that bad.”
