NovelUpdateChapter 380: "Why? Unwilling to dance?" Corrine raised an eyebrow and offered a sly half-smile.
"Perhaps we should try something different?” The casual tone in her voice made Leah's frown deepen.
As she stared at Corrine, Leah's face was a transparent display of her loathing and anger.
"Why not pick any bar in Lyhaton and grace it with your performance for an evening, Miss Burgess?" Corrine suggested with fake innocence.

At her suggestion, the surrounding crowd broke into enthusiastic applause. The prospect of seeing a lady of Leah's stature dance was indeed a spectacle for them.
"How dare you treatthis way, Corrine Holland! The Burgess family, along with Bruce, will not stand for this," Leah retorted.
Corrine's reply was laden with disdain.
"Do you honestly believe that I fear the Burgess or Ashton families?" Before she could continue, a stern voice cut through the crowd, saying, "Corrine, haven't you caused enough trouble?" Hearing Bruce's voice, Corrine's eyes narrowed to slits before her lips curved into a predatory smile. "Playing the gallant hero again, I see.” She pivoted to face Bruce, meeting his contemptuous stare. His eyes pierced through her with the kind of judgment reserved for storybook villains tormenting innocent maidens.
"What drives you to such cruelty, Corrine?" Bruce's voice cut through the tension like ice.
"What grievance could possibly justify this endless torment of Rita and Leah?" He had abandoned everything at the first ping of Leah's desperate message, only to witness the horrifying live stream his assistant had forwarded during his rush here-Corrine forcing Rita and Leah to their knees, compelling them to mimic dogs.
Such calculated malevolence could only spring from Corrine's mind.
Latist chapters in Gl.☐☐☐ Understanding dawned in Corrine's eyes as they flickered between the newly arrived Bruce and the tearful Leah huddled on the floor. Corrine's smile took on an arctic quality.
Of course Leah had been stalling-she'd been waiting for her champion to arrive.
Brushing invisible specks from her clothing with deliberate casualness, Corrine remarked, "They orchestrated their own downfall. I merely played the hand they dealt." "You're spewing lies," Rita spat, emboldened by Bruce's presence.

"You orchestrated this whole trap, you monster. You forced us to kneel and brought those dogs to terrorizeinto barking." A dangerous glimmer danced in Corrine's eyes.
"Miss Ashton, you've not only mastered canine impersonation but also perfected the art of victimhood." Before Rita could protest, Corrine the art pressed on, "Let's not forget who initiated this unfortunate chain of events." The world was quick to condemn her ruthlessness, yet conveniently forgot she hadn't struck first.
The instigators, having failed in their schemes and fallen llen prey to her m counterattack, had successfully painted her as the villain.
