LittleNovelChapter 804: Bruce blinked, slowly pulling himself back to the present. Reluctantly, he tore his gaze away. "Let's go," he muttered absentmindedly. Leah's recent scandal had made the crowd ravenous for entertainment, and now that she was present, their whispers couldn't be contained.

As Leah entered, a swarm of high-society members converged on her, offering warm greetings that reeked of insincerity. Leah knew their concerns weren't genuine. When the storm had hit, none of them had reached out to check on her. Now, they were all eager to play the part of sympathetic friends. If they wanted to put on a show of deep friendship, she was more than happy to play along.
Her reputation was in tatters, and this was a chance to stitch it back together.
Leah sighed softly, her gaze drifting downward as though lost in regret. "I was wrong," she admitted, her voice a soft murmur. "I let jealousy cloud my judgment and did things I shouldn't have." "Jealousy clouded your judgment?" someone asked, raising an eyebrow. "Could it be that Miss Holland's beauty outshone yours, Leah?" The comment, wrapped in a layer of flattery, eased the anger simmering inside Leah.
No woman could remain immune to compliments about her looks.

"Is there truly a woman that stunning in Lyhaton?" "In today's world, beauty isn't rare," someone chimed in. "But natural beauty? That's the real treasure." The remark hinted at the assumption that Corrine's beauty was the result of surgery. Leah understood the insinuation but chose not to correct it. Instead, she responded cryptically, "Miss Holland's beauty is undoubtedly striking. Otherwise, why would she have stayed at Bruce's company for three years and secured so many investments on her own?" The rich ladies around Leah exchanged knowing smirks, their contempt as clear as day.
Leah observed their expressions and, with calm resolve, added, "When you meet her, don't let her intimidate you." "Is she attending the charity event tonight?" Danna Becker asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.
"Yes, we just crossed paths," Leah replied, a faint smirk playing at her lips. "And look! Here she comes now."
The crowd turned as one to see Corrine and Nate making their entrance, triggering another wave of murmurs. Nate's tall, commanding stature exuded an air of nobility, his mere presence silencing the room, as if he wielded an unspoken authority that no one dared challenge.
Standing beside him was Corrine in her high heels, barely reaching his chest, casting her as delicate and demure. But together, they formed a striking contrast, an unexpected harmony between the two of them.
