The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1028:

“Alright,” Corrine gave a slight nod.

The moment he left, her fingers flew across her phone screen, swiftly typing in a web address.

But just as she was about to log in, she hesitated.

Her brows drew together, her expression tense. She looked like she was weighing something heavy—something that couldn’t be undone once decided.

For a few seconds, she remained still. Then, logic lost the battle against instinct.

She signed in and opened a chat window.

“I need a favor,” she wrote.

Corrine wandered down the corridor, her mind set on visiting the room Nate had mentioned, the one filled with treasures. Yet, as she walked, her gaze was drawn to a painting that hung on the wall.

The image before her depicted a grand estate, reminiscent of a garden straight out of a fairy tale.

A castle-like home stood in the heart of the scene, surrounded by a sea of flowers, each bathed in the warm, golden light of the setting sun. The whole picture radiated a quiet, almost magical beauty, like something from another world.

She could almost feel that the reality of such a place would outshine even the grandeur of the Grand Palace.

Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of footsteps echoing from behind her.

As she reached the stairway’s corner, she turned and saw a group entering through the door.noveldrama
