NovelUpdateChapter 678: Jules realized the misunderstanding instantly. The guy had completely taken it the wrong way.
But revealing Corrine's true identity was not something he was willing to do just yet. Instead of correcting him, he brushed it off.
"Let's go. Showinside." Paul took the cue.
"Sure." The moment they stepped in, all eyes flicked toward them. Conversations faltered. Glances were exchanged. The shift in the crowd's energy did not go unnoticed—least of all by Leah.
She had been chatting just moments before, but now her focus was locked on the new arrival.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtIt had been a long tsince she and Corrine had last crossed paths, yet the animosity she harbored had not dimmed in the slightest.
If anything, seeing Corrine again-with that sbreathtaking beauty-only reignited the resentment that had never truly faded.
Leah's hands, which had been resting loosely at her sides, curled into fists.
Then, as if on cue, whispers began trickling through the crowd.
"I heard Jules went after Miguel Hoffman yesterday," someone murmured.
"Word is, the guy is still in the hospital." "No wonder he's not here today," another voice chimed in.

Judie Seymour was sent abroad overnight. That was Jules' doing too." This group might not have been part of Jules' inner circle, but they knew enough.
Jules had never been one to play by the rules. He did what he wanted, when he wanted, and if someone got in his way, well...
Taking down a Seymour and a Hoffman at such an important elite event? That was a public humiliation the two families would never live down.
Leah had heard the rumors too. But unlike the others, who only knew bits and pieces from gossip, she had received her information directly from Andromache.
Lowering her gaze, she masked the cold glint in her eyes and let out a soft sigh.
"I heard Judie was forced to strip and apologize in front of everyone. That was crossing the line. She is just a girl. Her reputation is in ruins now. Who knows if we will ever see her again." Silence fell over the group. Uneasy glances were exchanged.

If there had been any hope of Judie staying in Lyhaton, the Seymourm family would not have sent her away En. so hastily. They had given up on her.
Leah's lips curled slightly as she swept her gaze over the group.
Pathetic.
They were all the same-loud when it cto whispering behind people's backs, but the moment things turned serious, their voices vanished.
She knew better than to linger on the topic for too long. Drawing attention to herself now would not be wise.
