?Chapter 1316:


    Corrine wasn’t sure what to make of the request. Was Rachel just being friendly, or did she have some other reason?


    After a quick moment of thought, she nodded. “Alright.”


    Rachel’s face lit up instantly. “Great! I’ve been stuck in that hotel for days, and I’m dying of boredom!”


    Rachel didn’t know her way around and didn’t want to bother Jules, fearing he might find it irritating. Now, with Corrine agreeing to apany her, she finally felt at ease.


    Feelingpletelyfortable, Rachel grabbed Corrine’s arm as they got into the car. They headed straight for Modern Square.


    Neither of them noticed the group stepping out of Silver Spoon just as they climbed into the vehicle.


    At the front of the group was Dewey.


    Although he only caught a glimpse of Corrine’s back, he recognized her instantly.


    Since arriving in Lyhaton, he had inquired about her everywhere. Strangely, no one seemed to know anything about her at all.


    Corrine was a mystery in Lyhaton. Unless she wanted to be found, no one could dig up any information on her or get near her.


    Now, as Dewey watched her climb into a luxury car, a sharp glint shed in his eyes.


    Had she aligned herself with another powerful figure?


    The moment the car pulled away, Dewey didn’t hesitate. He took off after it, running at full speed while quickly scribbling down the license te number.


    Corrine and Rachel pulled up to Modern Square and parked their car.


    Instead of diving straight into shopping, they made their way to a nearby café. There, they treated themselves to coffee and pastries, taking their time. As soon as the coffee arrived, Corrine reached for her spoon. She dipped it into her cup and stirred slowly, watching the dark liquid swirl inzy circles.


    ?????????ν??????.??????, ???????? ???????????????? ????


    Neither of them spoke. Corrine had no intention of breaking the silence first. She had a strong feeling that Rachel’s invitation wasn’t just about grabbing coffee. There had to be something more behind it.


    That suspicion barely had time to settle before Rachel, clearly unable to contain herself any longer, blurted out, “Actually, I asked you out because there’s something I want to ask you.”


    Corrine lifted an eyebrow. “About Jules?”


    Rachel gave a small nod, pressing her hands together as if to steady herself. “I’ve only seen him twice, so there’s a lot I can’t ask him outright. That’s why I need your help.”


    “Twice?” Corrine’s shock was unmistakable.


    She had assumed they had spent plenty of time together in the past few days before deciding to get married. Even if they weren’t deeply in love, she expected more than just two meetings. The truth caught her off guard. Suddenly, everything made sense. Chelsea’s insistence that she have a private conversation with Jules was no longer a mystery.
