But just as he took his first step, Saul and Matias appeared, blocking his path.
Bruce stopped abruptly, a deep crease forming between his brows.
“You smeared my nin front of everyone, Mr. Ashton. Did you really think a lexcuse like ‘I had too much
to drink’ would clear your name?” Corrine’s voice rang out sharply behind him.
Bruce stiffened, turning slowly to see Corrine leaning against Nate's shoulder.
She stood with her arms folded, one finger gently tapping her arm. The slight lift at the corners of her eyes
softened her stunning face with a graceful curve.
Beside her, Nate held her close, his arm wrapped protectively around her waist. With his tall frand quiet

But deep down, he couldn't lie to himself—there was truth in what he’d said, though clouded by alcohol. The
thought of Corrine belonging to someone like Nate stung deeply. It hurt that she’d hidden her true identity.

scontrol. “We dated for three years and almost got married. Those are facts. So if it’s true, how can it be
considered smearing your name?”
The implication was clear: what they once shared couldn't just be erased, so Nate dating a woman Bruce had
discarded was also true.
Corrine’s lips curled into a bright smile, but the gleam in her eyes was anything but warm. “You're right—it's a
fact. So why not tell everyone about the little affair you had with Leah during those three years? Don’t act like
the victim now, pretending | was the one who betrayed you.”

She hadn’t intended to drag this out. Bruce wasn’t worth the effort. But he kept pushing—twisting the past to
use her as a tool to ridicule Nate—and that, she wouldn't tolerate.
“And while you're at it, why not explain how you ditchedat the altar for Leah, leavingto face everyone
