"Bruce really doesn't know when to quit." Despite Nate's public declaration of his relationship with Corrine, Bruce continued to pursue her, his ulterior motives transparent to everyone watching.
At these words, the other men at the table turned their attention toward Bruce.
"Is that Bruce from Ashton Group?" Cutler examined Bruce with calculating eyes. "He appears emotionally unhinged. Could desperation have truly driven him to madness?" Moses' interest sparked instantly, his eyebrow arching with intrigue as he motioned subtly to Cutler. "You're familiar with him? Do share-we could all use sentertainment." Flicking a lighter between his fingers, Cutler cast a sideways glance at Moses before responding with measured nonchalance, "Leah avoided prison previously because of her pregnancy. The Ashton family faces quite the predicament now. Farris' health has been failing for years. Should Leah deliver her child successfully, Bruce and his parents would naturally claim a more substantial portion of the estate. But recently, the child was lost without any apparent reason, and their plans crumbled to dust. Now Leah has returned to incarceration, and the Ashton family finds itself in complete disarray. It's rumored that Ashton Group's shareholders have united against Bruce, declaring him unfit for leadership and demanding his resignation. Farris had to personally step in to save what little remained of Bruce's reputation." Moses let out a derisive chuckle. "Serves him right."

More importantly, if not for Corrine's strategic brilliance and tireless dedication to the Ashton family, they would never have risen to becLyhaton's new elite; the Ashton nmight have faded into obscurity years ago. And how did Bruce repay Corrine's loyalty? After using her talents, he not only refused to acknowledge his debt but actively sought to exploit her further, trampling over her dignity when she no longer served his purposes. Bruce had perfected the art of ingratitude.
Suddenly, Bruce snapped. He grabbed Corrine's arm and dragged her toward the stage. Today, I'll make sure everyone knows what kind of woman you really are!"
His emotions spiraled dangerously out of control. Lost in a whirlpook of his own making he becblind to the shocked gazes of the crowd around them.
