The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1050:

Corrine shrugged slightly. “Twelfth.”

She wasn’t the weakest, but being the youngest, she was last.

Almost everyone in Forestvale had heard of the Twelve Sovereigns. No one had ever seen their true faces, but people knew the group was made up of both men and women.

Normally, foreign powers were hard to control local forces, but the Twelve Sovereigns defied that rule. Wherever they went, things worked differently.

The twelve of them were all powerful in their own right, but together, they were unstoppable.

Nate was a bit surprised to learn that Corrine was one of the Twelve Sovereigns.

“Did you go to Forestvale a few years ago because of them?” he asked.

Corrine shook her head. “Meeting them was an accident.”noveldrama

She had once lived a carefree life, but one day, it all felt pointless, like something was missing.

Then, she had stumbled upon the whereabouts of Bruce, who she had thought was her savior.

In that moment, she had decided to leave everything behind and search for him.

Sadly, after three years together, she was left alone and realized that Bruce wasn’t the one she had been looking for.

Noticing her change in mood, Nate pulled her close, his strong hand gently rubbing her slender back. “How did Vulture find you?” he asked softly.

For years, Corrine had enjoyed a peaceful life, free from any disruptions, all thanks to Jules’ quiet efforts behind the scenes. But with Vulture’s sudden arrival, it was clear someone had leaked her location.

“He probably got the info from Lone Ranger,” Corrine said, explaining openly as she pursed her lips. “Lone Ranger is excellent at gathering intel. If he wants to find something out, he can. I only asked him to check out those three off-road vehicles, but I didn’t expect Vulture and Hawk to show up.”

She certainly hadn’t expected their arrival to stir up so much trouble. Nate reached out and ruffled her hair. “So, I almost misunderstood my fiancée’s good intentions.”

“Misunderstood is a bit too much,” Corrine said, gently pushing him away to create some space between them. Her eyes gleamed with a playful smile. “But can you tone down the jealousy? Stop losing your cool over the smallest things.”

Nate’s hand found the back of her head, pulling her in as he leaned down and lightly bit her lip. “I’m afraid I can’t!” After all, his fiancée was just too irresistible. As her fiancé, he felt a sense of insecurity.

Back at the restaurant, after Corrine and Nate left, Vulture ordered a meal.

He settled confidently on the sofa, digging into a tomahawk steak.

He ate quickly, but as the minutes passed, there was still no sign of Corrine and Nate. Impatience crept across his face.

Hawk, with no appetite, looked like a worried father waiting for his daughter to come home, glancing nervously at the door. “Where do you think Nate took Corrine? Our Corrine is so delicate; she’d be at a disadvantage if there’s any trouble!”
