Chapter 284:
Ever since Corrine had left their family, Rita had eagerly awaited the moment when Corrine would be humiliated.
However, contrary to her wishes, things had turned out differently.
Her old resentments and current frustrations were nearing a breaking point. A sinister glint appeared in Rita’s eyes, reminiscent of a snake poised to strike its prey.
This time, she resolved to thoroughly tarnish Corrine’s reputation. She was curious to see who would still stand by Corrine.
Motivated by this idea, Rita leapt from her bed and hurried over to her computer.
Meanwhile, Corrine had just started her day at the office when Karina rushed in, exclaiming, “Those ruthless people from the Ashton family are causing trouble again.”
“What’s going on?” Corrine inquired, glancing at the visibly upset Karina while shutting the file she was examining.
“Have you not caught the news yet?” Karina asked, eyes wide with disbelief as she stared at Corrine.
She had come into the office to retrieve the belongings she had left at Corrine’s place the previous evening. However, a startling post she encountered online hastened her steps.
Karina hurried over, only to discover that Corrine seemed less affected than anyone else would be.
With a calm sip of her coffee, Corrine said, “Your things are over on the couch.” She then calmly opened her laptop. Under a social media post concerning the Ashton family anniversary, an anonymous user had pinned a link.
Clicking on the link, Corrine was directed to a new revelation.
“Startling Revelation! Scandalous Snapshots of Ashton Group CEO’s Ex-Fiancee!”
Minimal text accompanied the post, yet it displayed images of Corrine in tattered attire.
Upon seeing the photographs, a wave of paleness washed over Corrine’s face, her eyes reflecting pure shock.
No one could grasp the origin of these photos more profoundly than Corrine.

They were remnants of her abduction ordeal.
Corrine remembered that day as if it were yesterday. Bruce had arranged dinner after work, and they had plans to browse wedding dresses together.
However, Bruce failed to appear. As she exited, assailants ambushed and subdued her.
She struggled, but they stuck a needle into her neck. A wave of darkness hit her, and everything went black.
Awakening to a nightmare, she found herself surrounded by masked figures photographing her in vulnerable poses.
Though she resisted fiercely, the damage inflicted was irreversible.
Memories of her smashing the cameras resurfaced in her mind.
Yet, these photographs had leaked somehow.
The misleading post claimed that Corrine had fabricated these images for financial gain, concealed her questionable background, and misrepresented herself to secure a union with the Ashton family.
Corrine gripped the mouse so tightly that her knuckles turned white, her entire body trembling.
Taking a steadying breath, she clicked to view the comments.
