NovelEnglishChapter 2773 The man she loved grew wealthy off her talent while she waited for the day hed keep his promises.
That day never came.
Instead, the wife-the one who was supposedly out of the picture-confronted her at a public award ceremony.
In front of cameras and the audience, she slapped Corrine across the face.
Corrine could still hear the womans tear filled voice as she accused her of being a shameless mistress who had destroyed her marriage.
It was then Corrine realized she had been deceived.
Her lover had never planned to leave his wife.
They had never been apart.
She wasnt the love of his lifejust someone to be used to keep his business thriving.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtBut what hurt most was when, in the aftermath, he blamed everything on Corrine.
He accused her of seducing him, casting himself as a man who had erred and strayed. Though Corrine later exposed the truth with evidence, the damage was done.
Her heart was broken, and she no longer dared to trust in love.
Instead, she focused on her career, locking away her feelings behind a wall she refused to dismantle.
Corrine gave Tilda a look, arching a brow.
Okay, stop playing the concerned mom or I swear Ill walk out of here right now, she said suddenly, snapping out of her reminisce.
Tilda sighed, letting go of her hand.
She knew better than to push.
The knots in Corrines heart were ones that only she could untangle herself.
Alright, my bad, Tilda said lightly, offering a sheepish smile.
Corrine took a sip of tea, clearly ready to steer the conversation elsewhere.
So, what do you need Clives help with? Before Tilda could answer, the door swung open and Clive walked in.
Sorry for keeping you two lovely ladies waiting, he apologized with a cheerful smile.
Tilda stood up quickly, smoothing her skirt.
Its fine, Mr.
Shaw.
We only just arrived.
Corrine followed suit, giving Clive a polite nod.
Hello, Mr.
Shaw.

Clive beamed and slid into the chair opposite them, his gaze lingering on Tilda for a moment.
Without your glasses, you look Like a completely different person. Tilda e.
gave him a knowing look.
Shed replayed this scene more tthan she could count since she got e her surgery. She gave a wry smile, stifling the urge to roll her eyes.
Youre not the first to say that.
In the crew, Clive continued, didnt Brewster invite you to take on a role? Have you ever considered a career in acting? With your looks, it would be a shnot to. Tilda laughed.
Mr.
Shaw, you flatter me.
Im not cut out for performing; its best I stick to screenwriting. Clive chuckled heartily.
