The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 77

Chapter 77 Opportunity To

Deal With The Bitch

Exiting Nate’s car, Corrine meandered down the avenue without a clear direction.

The struggle within her was undeniable, pulling her apart.

Nate’s actions had stirred something within her heart.

Still, a lingering voice of reason cautioned her to remember past pains once the immediate wounds had healed.

Her three–year relationship with Bruce had drained all her sincerity, only to leave her with nothing but disappointment.

Nate had only recently entered her life, just a few days ago.

With a sigh of frustration, Corrine combed her fingers through her hair, entertaining the idea that maybe things would just sort themselves out.

A wry smile crossed her face as she remembered Karina’s earnest prediction, saying that she would fall for him soon.

And indeed, Karina had been right.

Lost in her thoughts, she was jolted back to reality by her ringing phone. It was Karina. “Corrine, weren’t you supposed to be here by now?”

“Just caught a cab, I’ll be there shortly,” Corrine responded, swiftly hailing a taxi and climbing aboard.

She reached the bridal studio ten minutes later.

The studio sat within a quaint villa on Harmony Street, flanked by birch trees, offering a serene escape.

This villa stood out with its melancholic, vintage allure, complete with pointed arches

and rose windows.

A bronze plaque marked “Redamancg” adorned the exterior.

While Karina managed the studio’s every detail, from design to location, Corrine contributed financially and occasionally managed client orders.

Upon entering, she was immediately greeted by Ivy Frazier, a staff member, who said to her, “Karina’s in her office.”

Corrine acknowledged with a nod and ascended the spiral staircase straight to Karina’s office.

Within the cozy room, an elegantly dressed woman leisurely enjoyed her coffee on the couch.

“Ah, you’ve arrived,” Karina exclaimed, a look of relief washing over her as she saw Corrine. She approached Corrine and introduced her to the woman on the couch, saying, “This is Corrine Holland, our chief designer, and meet Fatima Seymour.”

The Seymour family was among the top four influential families in Lyhaton.

“Hello,” Corrine said warmly, offering her hand.

Once introductions were done, they settled into a deep discussion about wedding dress designs.

As Fatima outlined her vision, Corrine absorbed every detail, jotting down notes before taking Fatima’s measurements.

“We’ll prepare the initial sketches and have them ready for your review within a week. Feel free to request any adjustments,” Corrine assured her.

Fatima’s face lit up. “That sounds wonderful, Miss Holland, thank you.”
