Chapter 1561:
“Why must you pry into everyone's affairs? Aren’t you beyond the age for such juvenile gossip?” Corrine shot
him a glare.
Jules found himself momentarily robbed of response.
He stared after her retreating form before springing into motion and falling into step beside her. “Why such
venom at this early hour? Did you two quarrel?” Corrine’s telling silence confirmed his suspicion immediately.
“You actually fought with him?” he probed, his voice softening with genuine concern.
Corrine marched forward, her silence hardening into a wall between them.
With gentle determination, Jules captured her wrist. “Enough stoicism. Talk to me.”
Without waiting for her protest, he guided Corrine toward the spacious terrace adjoining the balcony.
Rachel emerged from her chamber just in tto witness Jules escorting Corrine away with conspiratorial haste.
The pair's secretive actions so early raised questions in her mind—had something significant transpired?

returned to the Ford household, Mr. Ford has showered her with affection, reserving only the finest for her. You'll
grow accustomed to it, Mrs. Ford.”

Mrs. Ford.
The servant bowed slightly. “Mrs. Ford, breakfast awaits your presence downstairs.”
Rachel acknowledged this with a gentle nod before turning away.

On the terrace, Corrine was recounting the harrowing details of her kidnapping to Jules.
His expression darkened like gathering thunderclouds. His hands curled into tight fists within his pockets as his
jaw clenched with barely contained fury. “Corrine, have you lost your mind? Something this catastrophic happens
and you keep the family completely in the dark!”
“Yet here | stand, perfectly unharmed,” Corrine replied with deliberate casualness.
Jules’ voice dropped to a dangerous chill. “And if fate hadn't been so generous? What then?”
Corrine knew she was in the wrong and had no words to counter.
Jules took a deep breath, struggling to contain his anger, yet the peril she had faced compelled him to rebuke
her.
“You knew you were drugged and weak, yet you recklessly chose to take risks instead of using your wits! What
were you thinking?” Jules exclaimed. “Thankfully, Nate arrived just in time, or you wouldn't be standing here
right now!”
