NovelBookChapter 513: But Corrine didn't falter-her pace remained steady as she made her way toward her private room.
Leah snapped out of her daze and hurried into the restroom.
Inside, she spotted Clarissa at the sink, carefully fixing her appearance.
A glint flickered in Leah's eyes.
"Miss Holland, do you know Corrine?" Clarissa glanced up and flashed an innocent smile.

"It's just that years ago, my sister made a mistake and was thrown out of the house. We lost touch for over a decade. I never thought I'd run into her again." "A mistake?" Leah repeated, a flash of cold calculation crossing her gaze.
"Yes. She was always a bit withdrawn, never quite fitting in. I heard that after she left home, she attended Pinetree High School for a while, but apparently, she got caught up in a major scandal and ended up expelled.
Honestly... my sister's life has been quite unfortunate." Clarissa sighed again, shaking her head slightly.
Leah frowned, trailing a step behind her in thought.

Corrine approached the private dining room and encountered Nate at the doorway.
"Why did you cout?" she asked after a moment of hesitation.

Corrine offered a slight smile.
"I was just heading to the restroom. There's no need to worry," she reassured him.

As they entered the room, Nate pressed her gently against the door. His eyes, intense and probing, met hers as he caressed her cheek softly. "But you're upset," he said, his voice calm yet tinged with a trace of resignation.
Corrine looked at him, a smile slowly forming, her eyes sparkling mischievously.
"Nate, you're really odd," she remarked.
He never pressed for details, but his ability to discern her true feelings, which she thought she had masked, was uncanny. She believed she had concealed her emotions well, yet with Nate, it seemed she could hide nothing.
She suppressed the sadness and the slight ache in her heart andrested her head against his chest. "I'm fine, really," she assured him.
"Clarissa's unexpected arrival just tookby surprise."
