Chapter 1597:
“How could someone like that ever be fit to bear the Ashton legacy? Everyone close to us may know Bruce's wife
is a common girl, but outsiders might think he dragged in a maid from the countryside. She’s a disgrace to the
family, an embarrassment that stains the Ashton name.”
The room had echoed with agreement. “She doesn’t belong in the Ashton family.”
“She’s clearly of low birth, unworthy of being a Mrs. Ashton.”
Corrine intended to retort, but Bruce implored her to ignore the insults and refrain from responding.
After that night, she never attended another Ashton gathering.
Tracy's words had been a deliberate blow, meant to remind her of her place. Corrine understood the message
clearly—they would never accept her. Eventually, she made her intentions clear—she wanted to leave the
Ashton family. But Bruce wouldn't accept it. He begged her to stay, claiming everything would fall apart without
her. After that, Bruce kept promising to marry her. Now, reflecting on those promises, Corrine felt relieved she
hadn’t succumbed to a marriage defined by Tracy’s scorn and mockery.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtSeeing Corrine remain silent, merely staring coldly at her, Tracy’s domineering aura diminished slightly.
“Corrine, | chere to remind you not to chase what isn’t yours.”
Corrine’s eyebrow arched, taking a moment to digest Tracy's words.
“You helped the Ashton family. That's true. But we supported you all those years too. So in the end, we're even.
No one owes anyone.” Tracy had planned to cut Corrine out of her life for good. But when Farris insisted on
handing over his assets to her, standing by and doing nothing was no longer an option. Corrine helped the
Ashton family, yes, but she was an outsider. The notion that Farris wanted to bequeath his assets to her was
unfathomable. Why should their gratitude extend to such lengths?

Tracy kept her cool, swallowing her anger. “Corrine, | don't know what you told Farris or how you got into his
head, but letmake this clear—you will never get anything from the Ashton family without a fight. You're an
outsider. Taking anything from us is out of the question. Even if Farris agrees, the rest of us won't stand for it.
And now that you're involved with Nate Hopkins, | doubt you'd want him finding out about your messy past with
your ex and his family.”
Corrine didn’t care about the Ashton family’s wealth.
Their power had already crumbled. One more blow, and they'd lose everything in Lyhaton.
If she wanted anything, she wouldn't wait for someone to hand it over—she’d take it herself.
Tracy had no right to stand before her, making demands.
There was a twhen Bruce's betrayal had made her want to destroy the Ashtons. But she had let it go,
thinking it was fate’s cruel joke.
Now, hearing Tracy’s words, she couldn't help but laugh.
