NovelApexChapter 1679:
Crossing the street, they passed a car parked at the curb. Inside, Bruce sat, watching them walk side by side,
fingers intertwined. His eyes drifted to the drones still hovering above them. A sourness built in his throat,
spreading bitterly across his tongue and making his hands shake.
In his memories, Corrine had always maintained a reserved demeanor. She had always been distant—like a
flower blooming in solitude, admired from afar but never touched.
But now, here she was, openly professing her love for Nate.
Bruce found himself pondering what could have been. If there had been no rift between him and Corrine, if he
had chosen her over Leah, where might they have stood today? Would he be the one holding Corrine’s hand
right now? Would her confession of love tonight have been meant for him?
If he hadn't left Corrine, perhaps they could have been enjoying happiness together. The Ashton Group wouldn't
be caught in its current crisis, and the family’s rise in status wouldn't have felt like a brief spark that quickly

Since Farris’ rescue, his condition had worsened. Most days, he remained in a deep slumber, and on the rare
occasions he was awake, his mind seemed clouded. Sometimes he was lucid, sometimes confused. This left
Bruce splitting his tbetween business meetings and hospital corridors.

In just a few days, he had becmore drained than he would after a full week of overtime.
“We'll stop at a bar nearby,” Bruce decided.
The assistant nodded. “Alright.”
As the car pulled away, Corrine and Nate continued their dinner, enveloped in a tranquil atmosphere.
After the bold and expensive display of affection, curious glances kept drifting their way more frequently. Many
patrons were now silently regretting their earlier question about the woman named Nate—the scene had turned
