?Chapter 914:


    Reporters who had been following them caught the scene and posted it online, stirring up even more controversy around Leah’s engagement scandal.


    Before anyone could fully grasp the situation, the fashionpetition organizers stripped Adalynn of her past award and banned her for five years.


    A blogger revealed that Adalynn’s previous award-winning work was now under suspicion of giarism, leading to her expulsion from the fashion council.


    As the scandals from Leah’s engagement party took over the inte, oneizen joked, “It’s like a domino effect of drama!”


    Karina, seeing the trending topics on social media, couldn’t hide her satisfaction.


    “Leah’s going to have her hands full for a while,” she said. She put down her phone and nced at Corrine, who was lounging by the hot spring. “I’m curious, where did you get those photos of her? Why wait so long to release them? People like her deserve to be exposed right away.”


    Corrinezily opened her eyes, a sly smile spreading across her face. “If I had released them earlier, I wouldn’t have gotten to enjoy watching Bruce and Leah’s engagement mess.”


    She stood up slowly, stepped out of the water, and wrapped herself in a towel. “Since they enjoy being together, let them have their moment.”


    “Isn’t that being too soft?” Karina wasn’t sure Corrine was really out for revenge.


    Corrine picked up a ss of wine and swirled it slowly. “I think the best revenge isn’t about ending someone, but about breaking them down piece by piece, watching their spirit fade until they’re just going through the motions.”


    She added, “Even with Leah’s pregnancy scandal out in the open, the fact that she’s Andromache’s goddaughter makes it impossible for Bruce to divorce her. Not being able to divorce means the Ashton family will have to live with Leah every day. There’s nothing worse than having to share a roof with someone you can’t stand. It eats at both the mind and soul.”


    Karina grinned slyly. “When ites to revenge, you really are a master.”


    “This is just the first gift I’m giving them.”

    “You’ve got a second one in the works?” Karina eximed.


    “Of course!” Corrine lifted her ss, downing the wine in one smooth, celebratory gulp before setting it down with practiced ease. A yful glint danced in her eyes. “But not now.”


    Karina’s excitement dimmed, her brows knitting together. “Why not just get it over with?”


    A slow, amused smile curved Corrine’s lips. “Because it is much more fun to make them squirm.”


    After parting ways with Karina, Corrine made her way back to the hotel suite.


    Inside, Nate, Moses, and Zack were deep in conversation, their words tapering off the moment she stepped in. Their wariness was subtle but unmistakable.


    She arched a brow. “Do not mind me.”


    “She is my family.”
