The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1577

Chapter 1577:

After a long pause, Carl finally spoke. “So, you plan to let her return to the Independent Continent just like that?”

Seeing that he no longer opposed the engagement outright, Evelyn’s voice softened. “You’ve raised Corrine well. She’s kind, thoughtful, and strong. I’m not cruel. I won’t force her hand. If she chooses to give up the chance to return to the Independent Continent, it means she’s leaving behind her title, her place in the most powerful family, and accepting the fate that she’s the only survivor…” Her voice faltered for a moment, her eyes growing distant.

Carl stared at her. “She’s not anyone’s pawn. She’s her own person. I hope you remember what you said today.”
