The Jilted Heiress' Return To The High Life novel Chapter 261

Chapter 261 Who Isn’t Intrigued By Mysteries

Jacob initially believed Corrine was there for the mysterious tiara.

Effortlessly, Corrine tossed a grape into her mouth, her movements exuding a natural grace. Her eyes, bright and full of resolve, shimmered. “I absolutely need to have it!”

“Do you like it?” Nate asked.

Turning toward him, Corrine asked, “It’s a tiara of mysterious origin featured at a Forreal auction–don’t you wonder about its story? Moreover, if it were not valuable,

why would Forreal feature it as the highlight of the event?”

It seemed that the tiara might conceal some hidden mysteries.

Uncovering such secrets would require someone driven by a deep–seated curiosity.

“I’ll start the preparations,” Jacob said.

Corrine gave a nod of acknowledgment.

As Jacob left, Nate closed the catalog he had been flipping through. “Do you enjoy

solving mysteries?”

“Who isn’t intrigued by mysteries?” A playful spark danced in Corrine’s eyes.

Nate’s gaze softened as he looked at her, his eyes showing a warmth and affection previously unseen by others.

He said, “I’m open to sharing everything you want to know.”

“I’d rather discover it on my own,” Corrine responded, her chin resting on her hand as she watched the screen displaying the event.

The screen offered a sweeping view of the hall.

Distinguished men in suits and women in graceful gowns mingled, the room filled with Lyhaton’s influential figures, giving it the air of a grand social gathering.

The hall radiated an extravagant luxury.

Suddenly, Corrine’s attention was drawn to a few familiar faces among the attendees.

Leah and Bruce entered, with Rita trailing closely behind.

Bruce had become a prominent figure in Lyhaton since the Ashton family’s impressive resurgence, regarded as a burgeoning star with vast potential. His newfound status made him a sought–after partner among the daughters of wealthy families.

Yet, his involvement in a scandal with Leah, the heiress of the Burgess family, during Ashton Group’s anniversary had tarnished his reputation somewhat.

Onlookers scrutinized Leah as she stood beside Bruce, taking in every detail of her

appearance.

Today, Leah chose a champagne–colored strapless mermaid dress that clung to her body, enhancing her elegant silhouette. Her hair flowed down her shoulders in soft waves, subtly revealing her collarbone.

Her beauty drew many admiring glances, particularly from the gentlemen present.

Quietly, she averted her eyes, masking her true feelings. The spotlight thrilled her, and she had quickly become the event’s focal point.

“Leah, this venue is breathtaking!” Rita couldn’t help but marvel at the lavish sculptures and the immense crystal chandelier above.
