The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1034:

“In my world, there are only two kinds of women,” Nate said as he stood, casually circling the chair before stopping in front of her. “You and then, everyone else.”

“A fiancé with such strong principles?” Corrine let out a quiet laugh.

“Every man should strive to be a gentleman,” Nate responded smoothly. At his words, the amusement in Corrine’s smile deepened, reaching her eyes.

“There’s an event tonight.” Nate took her hand and intertwined their fingers. “Come with me?”noveldrama

Corrine glanced down at their clasped hands, neither agreeing nor refusing.

Before coming here, she had anticipated meeting Nate’s friends and family.

But Herbert and Rosalie had already made their intentions clear. They were testing her.

Rosalie’s attitude, in particular, conveyed sheer disapproval. She clearly thought Corrine wasn’t good enough for Nate.

Seeing Corrine’s silence, Nate lifted his gaze. “You don’t want to go?” he asked.

“I’ll go,” Corrine finally said, her lips curving into a subtle smile. “After all, they’re your friends.”

If they weren’t, she wouldn’t have cared in the slightest.

In the evening, six Rolls-Royces and two limited-edition sports cars pulled out of the Grand Palace.

Moses blasted his horn at Zack while revving the engine of his striking pink sports car, and then sped off in a flash.

Zack, on the other hand, maintained a steady pace behind the Rolls-Royce convoy, unhurried.

He turned to Rosalie, who sat beside him. “You went too far earlier,” he remarked.

Rosalie blinked, giving him a look of innocent confusion.

“I don’t care what your issue is with Corrine, but I’m warning you,” Zack cut off her attempt at feigning ignorance, his voice growing colder. “Don’t go too far.”

Rosalie chuckled lightly. “I was just making conversation. How is that going too far?” she retorted. “Besides, I was only stating facts.”

“Can’t you see how much Nate cares about her?” Zack frowned. “Whatever you’re planning, think twice. If you push too hard, you’ll regret it.”

In Lyhaton, Zack had witnessed firsthand Nate’s deep care for Corrine. However, Rosalie remained unfazed. “That’s precisely why he needs to see the reality of his situation,” she countered, irritation coloring her tone. “You call yourself his friend, yet you stand by while he makes a mistake?”

She scoffed, her voice sharpening. “A month ago, the Elder Council investigated the rumors of his involvement with a woman. None of those sent returned. Now,”

“He’s parading her openly, practically confirming the gossip. He’s handing his enemies the perfect excuse to strike.”

After a pause, Rosalie exhaled sharply, her arms crossed. “Fine, I’ll admit it. She’s more beautiful than the Quinn heiress. But what of it? She lacks depth. She knows nothing of adversity. She won’t stand by Nate when times get tough.”
