Chapter 188 Do You Have A Plan For Revenge
Corrine released a soft sigh, easing into the chair with an air of resignation. "Think of this as my last gift to the
Ashton family."
Karina looked at her with a mix of concern and contempt. "I fear this 'gift' might just encourage them to take
further advantage of you!" She shook her head. "I must be frank, Farris uses his seniority as a guise to deceive.
He's well aware of the vile actions of his family yet shamelessly extends you an invitation to their celebration.
What is he scheming?"
Corrine understood exactly what the Ashton family was up to.
She had a hunch that Bruce had tipped off Farris about their encounter at the restaurant earlier.
"Their plan is to use my influence to elevate the Ashton family," Corrine said, her eyes fluttering open, a knowing
smile playing on her lips.

"Do you have a plan for revenge?" Karina, drawn in by Corrine's mysterious charm, leaned in closer. "I'd love to
hear how you're going to get back at them."
With a thoughtful expression, Corrine kept her smile, but her eyes grew sharper. "Yes, | will help the Ashton
family rise."
Their ability to withstand the consequences, however, would be their own challenge.
Farris' call interrupted her thoughts, his tone direct. "Corrine, make sure you're on time
for the Ashton Group celebration this weekend."
She had braced herself for this possibility. Still, the confirmation brought a sharp sting of sadness, tightening her
grip.
Again, she felt sidelined.
It appeared that three years of friendship could be so easily overlooked.
In a world driven by self-interest, she was always the one easily discarded.
"I respect your choice," Corrine said, ending the call.
She gathered her thoughts before calling Jules. "Have you uncovered anything about the matter | asked you to
look into?"
"Absolutely, I'm on top of it," Jules responded.
A grin spread across Corrine's face. "Sendthe details by email."
As news of Corrine's participation in the anniversary event reached Bruce, his parents. were promptly updated.
Watching Millard's overly joyful demeanor, Tracy couldn't contain her eye roll. "Do you really need to be this
thrilled?"
From her perspective, Corrine gracing the anniversary with her presence was a significant concession from the
Ashton family.

Millard retorted coldly, "You're just too shortsighted."
"Too shortsighted, am I? You weren't impressed with Corrine when she first joined our circle either," Tracy
retorted, frustration seeping into her voice as she flung her phone onto the couch. "Now that she's influential,
you suddenly want to ingratiate yourself with her? The Ashton family are such elitists."
"Enough!" Millard exclaimed, his brow furrowed. "If we hadn't driven a wedge between. Bruce and Corrine back
then, would we be begging for her help now? | admit that | underestimated her, yet I'm truly appreciative of her
contributions to our family. Without her, we'd be nowhere. But considering what you and Rita have managed, it's
no surprise people find us thankless.
Tracy let out a bitter laugh. "So now I'm the one holding back the Ashton family? Back when | tried to bring Bruce
and Leah together, you all agreed. But now that Corrine ist useful, you're blaming me!"
Millard sighed heavily, his gaze conveying a mix of frustration and despair. "Can you just be reasonable for once?
| never pointed fingers at you. The whole Ashton family is in her debt, and | worry about the gossip. Those
ruthless journalists are always on the prowl for scandalous tales that could damage our reputation."
A spark of inspiration lit up Tracy's eyes at his remark. "I think | have a solution."
