The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1645

Chapter 1645:

Jules lit a cigarette, drew deeply on it, and exhaled his reply through wisps of smoke. “I’ll head back later.”

“Alright.”

Upon returning to the Ford Mansion, Corrine discovered Jayden, Chelsea, and Waldo lounging on the living room sofas.

Harmony enveloped the space as the family sipped coffee and deliberated over the intricate details of Jules’ forthcoming wedding. Chelsea dominated the conversation with unbridled enthusiasm, while Jayden and Carl contributed little more than attentive silence. Chelsea’s animated expressions betrayed her unmistakable approval of Rachel.

Corrine lingered briefly, exchanged a meaningful glance with Waldo, and then quietly slipped away.

Drifting toward the veranda, she pressed her palms against the cool balustrade, her gaze drawn to the meticulously pruned pine trees standing sentinel in the courtyard.

Sunlight painted them as dignified gentlemen, yet darkness transformed them into looming beasts. Their dual nature reminded her forcefully of someone she knew—a man outwardly detached and composed during daylight hours who, when night fell and pretenses dissolved, could no longer conceal the primal wildness etched into his very essence.

Lost in contemplation, she was startled as Waldo’s voice emerged from behind.
