The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1690:

“There’s always a way out,” Chelsea said softly, echoing Corrine’s words. “But still, I can’t help feeling worried.”

She stood up and moved beside Corrine, gently taking her hand. “Corrine, do you think Jules and Rachel haven’t returned because her grandparents are giving them a hard time?”

Chelsea had always been gentle with her son. She had never once been harsh with Jules. Even when she was furious, she held her tongue. Because of that, Jules grew up bold—like a little prince who feared no one.

Luckily, Jayden and Carl were there to keep him in check.

But now, just thinking that Jules might be in trouble made Chelsea’s heart twist.

“Aunt Chelsea, Jules plays a key part in this matter, so if anyone can resolve this issue, it’s him.” She gave her aunt’s hand a reassuring squeeze. “Trust him.
