He used to think Corrine clung to the idea of marrying him for the Ashton fortune. He believed she aimed high,
dreaming of a more privileged life.
But the moment he discovered that Corrine was actually the heiress of the Ford family—the wealthiest nin
Lyhaton—everything unraveled.
She was born into everything he thought she wanted from him: luxury, status, and wealth. None of which the
Ashton ncould offer.
Status meant nothing to her. Money meant even less.
She had made herself clear the day she broke up with him. “Bruce, | didn’t stay for anything but you. The Ashton
family’s wealth and power meant nothing to me. | never craved the envied title of Mrs Ashton.”
He had laughed back then, dismissing her as prideful and stubborn.
But now he knew she wasn’t pretending. She had meant every word.

us?”
A scornful smile touched Corrine’s lips. “Why should | offer you that opportunity? Everything between us ended
the day we broke up. You seem to forget that, Mr. Ashton.”
He had prepared for this. Corrine was never one to sugarcoat her words. If she forgave easily, she wouldn't be
herself.
Bruce paused, then admitted, “I regret my past behavior. | failed to appreciate you and carelessly hurt you—I'm
genuinely sorry.”
Corrine laughed lightly. “No need to
apologize. It was es MOS than
a misunderstanding both see
things clearly now. That's enough. No
one owes anyone anything.” The
