Chapter 152 Corrine Is Trending
The journalist wondered if this woman was out of her mind. She was seriously considering a defamation lawsuit!
Did she fail to grasp the gravity of her
predicament? . How could she stand there with such defiance?
The media's probing intensified for a moment.
"How can you claim innocence without showing us proof?"
"Why were you detained alongside the suspects if you're innocent?"
With a small smile, Corrine replied, "Perhaps the motives of the person who tipped off
the police deserve scrutiny."
As the situation unfolded, the police officer named Jack rushed to the scene.
He surveyed the gathering briefly before pulling Wilbur aside and whispered, "Sir, the two suspects are ready to

"I'm on my way to see them," Wilbur replied, preparing to depart.
However, Jack held onto his arm, casting a significant glance at Corrine. "It appears Miss Holland should
accompany us."
"What are you implying?" Wilbur's expression grew stern, his intense stare shifting
Jack.
Jack stammered, "The suspects claim that Miss Holland was... working with them."
The moment the words were spoken, all eyes landed on Corrine, filled with ridicule and scorn, as if waiting to see
how she would get out of this.
Corrine's gaze hardened, a trace of coldness flashing in her eyes. "Since I'm not going
anywhere, let's discuss this inside."
As she walked past Matias, she murmured, "Send a message to your boss for me..."
"Why don't you tell him directly?" Matias suggested, nodding subtly toward
someone
behind Corrine.
As she turned, Corrine spotted Nate walking toward her, clad in a sharp black suit.
His assertive walk and authoritative aura defined him as a man who commanded every
situation.
He paused in front of Corrine, offering his hand. "Care to joininside?" Locking eyes with him, her expression
softened into a warm smile. "I'd love to."
Their fingers intertwined, sparking an unexpected warmth in her chest.
At the Ashton residence, Rita stumbled upon a hot topic on social media and dashed
from her room to the card room. "Mom, you've got to see this! Corrine's trending!" At the mention of Corrine's
name, Tracy's smile dimmed, her expression souring. "Please, let's not talk about her. Just her nirks me!"
The ladies at the card table exchanged knowing looks, their faces reflecting a mix of
emotions.

Despite Tracy's efforts to dismiss Corrine from their memories, everyone in the
room
was aware that Corrine had once saved the Ashton family from social ruin.
Now, with the Ashton family celebrated as the top new socialites in Lyhaton, the guests preferred to keep their
thoughts private.
"It's been forever since | heard that name."
"Right, she seemed to disappear after her split from Bruce."
"People ought to be grateful. Without Bruce's intervention, who knows her fate? Yet, despite his acceptance of
her background, she scorned him. After tasting a finer life,
she seemed to forget her roots."
Though the remark of the last person was likely unintended, its implications resonated deeply. Tracy perceived it
as a subtle slight against her family, as if to mock them.
The mood at the card table grew tense, and Tracy's interest in the gwaned. After completing the hand, she
quickly found a reason to dismiss her guests.
