The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1323:

After all these years of neglect, Dewey now saw fit to worm his way back into her life only when there was something to gain. What a cruel twist of fate for Corrine to be saddled with such a father.

Dewey stared daggers at Matias, his fists clenched tightly at his sides. Despite the fury burning in his chest, he had no choice but to swallow his pride.

With a disdainful flick of his wrist, Matias brushed imaginary dust from his shoulder, then turned and walked away.

Dewey could do nothing but stand there, fuming, as he watched them.

In his mind, it was Nate who had emboldened Corrine. Without him, what reason would she have to defy him so openly? And if Corrine refused to obey, then Dewey would have to rely on his other daughter who would listen.

As Nate and Corrine slid into the car, Corrine’s curiosity got the better of her. “Why are you here?”

Normally, she’d have been overjoyed to see him. But today, seeing Dewey in his presence left her with an uneasy feeling. It was as though a treasure she’d hidden away for so long was now being eyed by a thief.
