The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life

Chapter 1051:

Vulture couldn’t stay still after hearing this.

Just as he was about to put out his cigarette and stand, the door to the restaurant opened.

Nate and Corrine walked in, their fingers intertwined.

Vulture watched the pair walk in, their hands tightly clasped, letting out a frustrated sigh.

Hawk noticed their figures and leaned in, whispering in Vulture’s ear, “Vulture, Corrine’s back.”

Vulture didn’t say anything. He simply motioned for Hawk to move aside.

But when his gaze landed on Corrine’s smudged lipstick and swollen lips, his face darkened.

Nate guided Corrine back to their seats with a calm and aloof manner. “Sorry for the wait. Hope it wasn’t too long,” he said.

Vulture gave a dismissive wave, flicked his cigarette into the ashtray, and took a sip of soda. “Oh, Mr. Hopkins, you’re too kind,” he replied. He cleared his throat and turned to Corrine. “Where am I staying tonight?”

Corrine gave a small frown. “You’re staying over?”

“Of course!” Vulture slammed his cup down on the table. “I came all this way, and now you’re ready to kick me out?”

Corrine laughed. “I didn’t exactly invite you.”noveldrama

Vulture was left speechless. She hadn’t changed one bit. Just as cold-hearted as before!

When Corrine saw the frustration on his face, her smile grew wider. Though she had grown tired of her aimless days, it didn’t mean she held any ill will toward the people she once fought beside.

Just as Corrine was about to speak, Nate interrupted. “If you don’t mind, there are guest rooms at the Grand Palace.”

Corrine looked at Nate, surprised. She had originally planned for Vulture and Hawk to stay at a hotel, mainly because she knew how Nate felt.

She didn’t expect him to be so generous, offering them rooms at the Grand Palace instead.

Nate’s reasoning was simple. He figured it would be better to keep them close, where he could watch them, rather than let them cause trouble somewhere else.

Vulture, too, was surprised by Nate’s sudden generosity.

He thought Nate would be eager to get rid of him and Hawk as quickly as possible.

“Cold-hearted Corrine, I’ve spoiled you for nothing!” Vulture rolled his eyes at her. “Look at your man, he’s far more generous than you!”

Corrine smirked. “It’s been years, and you’ve really stepped up your flattery game.”

Vulture shot her a glare, embarrassed, and gave her a light kick. Though it wasn’t hard, Corrine let out a dramatic “ouch” and stumbled into Nate’s arms, as if knocked over by the wind.
