The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1215:

Corrine’s gaze sharpened, eyes narrowing with a cold, dangerous glint. “I’m not sure about the trouble, but I can promise you won’t be working here after today.”

Without another word, she walked straight toward the elevator.

Seeing this, the receptionist quickly called for security to stop her.

Just then, Waldo’s assistant noticed Corrine and rushed over. “Miss Holland, what brings you here?”

“Where’s Waldo?” Corrine asked, getting straight to the point.

The assistant’s eyes flicked to Waldo’s office door, which was firmly shut, as if recalling something happening inside. He hesitated before replying, “Mr. Ford… he stepped out for a bit.”

From the brief pause, Corrine had a hunch about what was going on. She made a beeline for the office.

“Miss Holland…” The assistant quickly moved to stop her.

Just as he took a step, Corrine spun around. “Oh, I just remembered something.”

“What is it?”

“The receptionist who greeted me earlier… I don’t want to see her again.”

Without waiting for a response, she walked straight to Waldo’s office.

But as soon as she entered, she regretted it.

No wonder the assistant had tried to stop her.

Her uncle, who usually showed little interest in women, was now locked in a passionate kiss with a woman pressed against the desk.

If she wasn’t mistaken, that woman looked like… Jolene!

“Ahem.” Corrine cleared her throat. “Maybe it’s time for a little break?”

At the sound of Corrine’s voice, both Waldo and Jolene froze in place.

“Why are you back so soon?” Waldo stood up slowly, trying to stay composed as he adjusted his glasses. He looked at Corrine, clearly embarrassed, while taking off his jacket to cover Jolene protectively.

Corrine glanced at Jolene, now wrapped in Waldo’s jacket, and said with a knowing tone, “Yes, it was quite sudden.”noveldrama

Waldo, who usually remained calm even in difficult situations, felt an unusual wave of nervousness when he noticed Corrine’s strange smile.

He shut his mouth tightly and quickly glanced at Jolene, wrapped in his suit jacket. With a hint of desperation, he said, “Corrine, can you step outside for a moment?”

“Of course,” Corrine agreed, giving Jolene, still in the jacket, a meaningful look. She then walked out of the office.

Once the door closed, Jolene took a deep breath, shoved Waldo aside, and angrily tossed his suit jacket onto the floor. “Waldo, you’re a lawyer, yet you tried to force yourself on a woman?”

Whether from the jacket or something else, Jolene’s cheeks flushed softly. The corners of her eyes curved upward seductively, and every small gesture seemed to draw attention.
