NovelBookChapter 775: Bruce's gaze flickered, but he recovered quickly. "Deep down, you still have feelings for me, don't you?" he asked.
At his words, Corrine's frown relaxed-just slightly. "Did that over-the-shoulder throw break your brain?" she mocked, a smirk curling at the corner of her lips.
Bruce's jaw tightened, his once-handsface turning ice-cold. He studied her for a few moments, his expression unreadable.
"You can't forget me. I know you, Corrine," he said, his tone slow and deliberate. "You're someone who values emotions deeply. If someone treats you well, you treat them even better.

Nate was there.

"Why are you out here?" Corrine asked, quickly closing the distance between them.

"If I ever see you pestering her again, I'll make sure you're removed from Lyhaton," he hissed at Bruce, his voice calm yet razor-sharp. "Who do you think you are?" Bruce scoffed. "Lyhaton isn't your territory." At that, Nate finally lifted his gaze. "We'll see about that," he said coldly.
Rivals always clashed fiercely.

He glared at Nate's and Corrine's retreating figures, his eyes blazing el with anger
"Do you even know about our past?" he challenged, voice taut with m селаци defiance "We were together for three years. Three years!" Nate halted and fixed his gaze on Bruce.
"And what exactly are you trying to say?" His voice was sharp, edged with warning.
Bruce's heart pounded, but he refused to back down. "She and I had a wedding ceremony," he pressed on, clenching his fists. "We almost got married."
