?Chapter 546:


    “Apologize?” Dewey scoffed.


    “Since when does a father apologize to his daughter? Besides, the Burgess family in Lyhaton is also involved. If things escte, they won’t escape unscathed.”


    Dewey was well aware of rissa’s machinations and had tacitly endorsed them. Having learned of the grudges between Corrine and Leah, he saw an opportunity.


    In his eyes, sacrificing Corrine to secure a deal with the Burgess family was a just rpense for his years of investment in her upbringing.


    “Leah never personally participated in the n from start to finish. Everything was handled by rissa, which is undeniably unfavorable for her!” Nic expressed her concerns with a troubled tone.


    Dewey, with a furrowed brow, was clearly aware of the issue as well. Initially, their strategy was solely to appease the Burgess family, overlooking the potential fallout when things went awry. Perhaps Dewey doubted Corrine could salvage the situation.


    “Dad, should I apologize to Corrine?” rissa asked, worry evident in her voice.


    “I’m concerned she might take drastic measures against us.” Dewey pondered deeply for a while and then advised, “Why don’t you contact Leah and see if she can help you? After all, thiswsuit began because of her.”


    rissa pressed her lips together, her gaze dropping to conceal the coldness flickering in her eyes. Her feelings toward Leah had turned to sheer loathing. She recalled Corrine’s warning. Despite knowing Corrine’s tactics, Leah had still insisted rissa handle Corrine, clearly using her as a pawn. But despite being aware of the maniption, what could rissa do? In a society dominated by power, the Hond family’s reliance on external support was a necessity. Even with the knowledge that they were being exploited, they had no alternative but toply.


    “Then I’ll call her now,” rissa said, pulling out her phone to dial Leah’s number.

    At that moment, Leah was enjoying a spa treatment. The sight of rissa’s iing call made her frown slightly.


    “Who is it?” Jocelynn asked curiously, noticing Leah’s reluctance.


    “It’s rissa,” Leah responded, her eyes gleaming with a trace of mockery.


    “I thought I could use her to teach Corrine a lesson, but she’s turned out to be an ipetent fool. She even dared to drag me into this mess.”


    “I suggest you tread carefully with rissa,” Jocelynn, familiar with rissa’s reputation, warned.


    “Be wary of her interaction with Bruce.”


    “I’m well aware of that,” Leah affirmed.


    That was why she hade to Pree City without notifying Bruce this time.


    “I’m curious, though. Why do you always target Corrine?” Jocelynn probed.


    “Is it because she nearly married Bruce?”


    Leah sat up slowly, contemting the question.


    “Men are skilled at saying one thing and meaning another,” she responded.


    “They im to have moved on from their exes, but their words often mask their true feelings. Only by eliminating Corrine can I ensure Bruce’s thoughts are truly free of her.”


    Jocelynn, stunned by the revtion, sat up abruptly.


    “You believe Bruce still has feelings for Corrine?” she asked, her eyes wide with surprise.
