The Jilted Heiress' Return to the High Life - Chapter 134

Chapter 134:

The Ashton Group simply couldn’t afford to clash with Ford Group.

As he mulled over the situation, something caught his eye—a figure that seemed oddly familiar.

He stopped mid-step, his brows knitting together. Was that… Corrine? But then he hesitated. This was Ford Group, not somewhere she could casually stroll into. He shook his head. He had to be mistaken.

His assistant’s voice broke into his thoughts, uncertain but cautious.

“Could it be that Corrine upset someone powerful in the past?”

Back then, Corrine had poured everything she had into Ashton Group. Her hard work had been undeniable, but she’d left behind whispers—harsh rumors that still lingered in the air.

Hearing this, Bruce frowned.

“When we get back to the office, try to get some information from the assistant who worked with Corrine.”

It didn’t make sense for anyone at Ashton Group to have wronged someone at Ford Group. If it had happened, the likely culprit was Corrine. She often acted impulsively, unaware of the ripples her actions caused.

No one could guess how many enemies she had unknowingly created for Ashton Group—or the kind of weight she’d carried on her shoulders while doing so.

Corrine had just stepped into her office on the top floor when Natasha entered, holding a stack of neatly organized files.

“Miss Holland, these are the candidates the planning department shortlisted for the spokesperson role. Please review and make your choice,” Natasha said, her tone professional yet relaxed.

Corrine’s recent return to the company—and her rejection of Leah’s endorsement—had put significant pressure on the planning department. To meet her high expectations, they had spent weeks carefully evaluating and selecting candidates.

Corrine flipped through the topmost file.

“Jolene Sampson?” she murmured, her lips curving slightly as a spark of curiosity danced in her eyes. Tapping her fingers lightly on the document, she said, “We’ll go with her.”

Natasha nodded, unfazed by the decision. Her smile grew as she replied, “Understood.”

The announcement of Ford Group’s new resort spokesperson sparked an immediate stir online.

One netizen asked, “Who even is this model?”

Another chimed in, “I heard Leah was supposed to get that endorsement. How did Jolene suddenly snag it? Could she have someone powerful backing her?”

“Wasn’t Leah blacklisted for crossing the wrong person?” someone speculated. Another added, “Are we forgetting something? Jolene was exposed for school bullying when she first debuted! I wouldn’t be surprised if she sabotaged Leah to snatch this deal for herself.”

Someone sighed heavily and said, “I really feel bad for Leah. She doesn’t deserve this.”

Fueled by the determined efforts of the online community, it didn’t take long for Jolene’s past to surface. Her history of underage clubbing, smoking, drinking, and fighting spread across social media like wildfire.
