Chapter 1646:

Relief washed over Waldo as he nodded appreciatively.
At least she'd received the invitation. If Jolene dared to decline or avoid the event, he'd ensure she regretted it

The vengeful thought loosened the knot of tension in his chest, allowing his breathing to steady and deepen.
Just as Waldo pivoted to leave, Corrine’s fingers encircled his wrist, her lips curving into a knowing smile.
“Aren’t you forgetting something?”
His gaze lingered on her face before he sighed, reluctantly divulging everything he'd overheard. He couldn't help

primal instinct whispered that all these mysteries somehow converged on Corrine.

Before that engagement party, he'd questioned why Carl and Jayden shielded Corrine from certain truths, but
now understanding dawned on him.
Sometimes, ignorance provided its own form of protection.
They harbored no grandiose ambitions for Corrine; their sole desire was that she might lead a life unmarred by
turmoil—peaceful and whole.
After dinner concluded, Corrine lingered in conversation before finally retreating to her sanctuary.

Waldo’s revelations echoed through her mind.
