The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1666:

In the past, Corrine had the Ford family behind her, which made the Hoffmans tread carefully. And now, with Nate’s support, even ten Hoffman families wouldn’t dare step out of line.

Callie was well aware that the Hoffmans had managed to maintain their place as one of Lyhaton’s four major families largely thanks to the Ford family’s backing.

Losing that support because of her? That was a price too steep for the Hoffmans to pay.

But if sacrificing her could restore the Ford family’s favor, they wouldn’t hesitate for a second.

Just then, Gregory came out of the private room and froze when he saw Callie gasping for air in Corrine’s grip. Alarmed, he rushed forward.

“Let go! You’ll strangle her!”

But before he could reach them, Corrine looked up. Her gaze was sharp and emotionless—like a knife ready to slit a throat at the slightest misstep.

Gregory stopped in his tracks, chilled by the look in her eyes. Regaining a bit of composure, he said,

“Miss Holland, I don’t know what Callie said to upset you, but I apologize on her behalf. Please, let’s not turn this into a scene, not today of all days. It’s Jules’ wedding.”
