The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 307 Fulfilling All Your Desires

The group of employees concluded their reports with practiced efficiency. "Mr. Hopkins, we'll take our leave if there's nothing further."

Nate acknowledged them with a subtle inclination of his head.

As the employees

departed, their gazes lingered on Corrine, who sat examining the crossbow with remarkable composure. Her delicate hands traced the weapon's contours as naturally as if she were handling a cherished keepsake.

Their surprised expressions betrayed their thoughts-

most women would shrink from such a device, yet she appeared thoroughly fascinated.

Indeed, the companion of a powerful man proved herself extraordinary.

"What's your purpose here?" Nate directed his question to Moses, who hastily retrieved the fallen folder from the floor. As Moses approached Nate's desk, his attention was

drawn to Corrine's striking presence on the sofa. Her pristine white suit complemented her dark hair, which had been elegantly arranged in a twisted bun, save for one rebellious strand that curved gracefully acr forehead.

Every aspect of her bearing radiated refined sophistication.

Corrine shifted, crossing her legs with fluid grace while maintaining her practiced hold on the crossbow.

Moses found himself mesmerized by this unexpected fusion of elegance

and audacity.

Yet something about her stirred a distant memory he couldn't quite grasp.

"Zack will be joining us shortly. Perhaps we could spend the

evening together?" Moses suggested.

To his astonishment, Nate turned toward Corrine. "Would you care to join us?"

Corrine lifted her gaze

to meet Nate's. "I'd be delighted. My vacation affords me the time."

Royal Fortune Entertainment Center stood as Lyhaton's crown jewel of luxury.

Its vast complex housed everything from a sophisticated casino to an opera house, cinema, shopping mall, and hotel-living up to its bold promise of "Fulfilling all your desires."

Despite the city's abundance of

entertainment venues, Royal Fortune

maintained its unrivaled appeal,

especially after nightfall when prestigious vehicles lined its

entrance in a dazzling display of opulence.

Upon entering the private room, Corrine's heart nearly stopped at the sight of Jules among the gathering.

A wave of dismay washed over her as she contemplated this cruel twist of fate.

Of all possible encounters, why here?

Jules, positioned in a corner, immediately noticed their arrival.

His gaze fixed on their intertwined hands-hers and Nate's.

The soft sound of his glass meeting the table resonated through the suddenly hushed room.

Moses glanced between them, sensing the tension. "Are you two acquainted?"

Before Corrine could formulate a response, Jules interjected with bitter amusement, "She's my cousin. I'd know her anywhere."

"Since when did you have a cousin?” Moses exclaimed thoughtlessly, knowing Jules' reputation as the Ford family's sole heir.

Nate met Jules' antagonistic stare with the barest hint of a smile. "Corrine Holland, my girlfriend."

Though framed as an introduction, his words carried the weight of a declaration.

Jules' features contorted with barely contained anger at Nate's proclamation. His jaw tightened visibly as he released a derisive snort and drained his glass.

Zack approached with perfectly

timed intervention, smoothly guiding

Jules aside. He turned to Corrine

with impeccable courtesy, as if they

e'

were perfect strangers. "Miss. Holland, I'm Zack Liam. May offer you a drink? Or perhaps you'd prefer juíce?”

His manner was smooth, unassuming. Anyone who didn't know better might have mistaken him for a stranger meeting Corrine for the first time.
