The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 964:

Seeing that Moses hadn’t caught on, Zack sighed, feeling like he was wasting his time.

He lit a cigarette, leaned back on the sofa, and exhaled smoke slowly. “Haven’t you realized? Every move she makes comes from linear combat techniques.”

“Linear combat techniques?” Moses frowned. “Are you saying Corrine was trained by Frey Larson?”

The Larson family from the Independent Continent was known as the best in this style.noveldrama

Nate, who had been silent up to that point, spoke up, his voice cold. “Frey Larson retired twenty-five years ago. She can’t be his student.”

His words left the room heavy with silence.

Moses finally spoke, breaking the silence. “Why bother with that? The important thing is that Corrine is safe.”

He paused, then gave Nate a knowing smile. “Nate, our people said Andromache went to Fragrance Garden. Shouldn’t you be more worried about her telling Evelyn?”

Nate stayed quiet. He gave Moses a pointed look.

At Fragrance Garden, Evelyn was trimming flowers, with Penny standing behind her.

“Andromache got back to Lyhaton at four this morning,” Penny said.

“She left, so why come back?” Evelyn asked, just as she put down her scissors.

Penny handed Evelyn a handkerchief, keeping an eye on her expression. “I’ve heard something happened with the Burgess family.”

Evelyn walked over to the table, picked up her phone, and opened her chat with Corrine.

She sent a picture of the flowers she’d just trimmed, followed by a voice message. “Corrine, it’s Friday. Want to come to my place for dinner after work? I’ve cooked your favorite dishes.”

After sending it, Evelyn looked up at Penny. “What does this have to do with Andromache?”

Penny gently took Evelyn’s arm and led her to the living room, handing her the coffee she had prepared. “People are saying Andromache is quite close to Leah from the Burgess family.”

Evelyn raised an eyebrow, a mocking smile playing on her lips. “Would she really be that generous?”

No one knew a daughter better than her mother.

Evelyn had always understood her daughter. Despite being a woman, Andromache’s ambition was greater than anyone else in the family. If it had been…

Any different, she wouldn’t have tried to take control of the Lyhaton market after leaving the Independent Continent.

At times, Evelyn felt a quiet sense of relief that Andromache was a woman. Otherwise, who could imagine the kind of trouble she’d cause for the family?
