Chapter 1587:
Corrie unleashed her fury upon Camille, her words razor-sharp daggers that left visible wounds on Camille's
composure.
Tears glistening in her eyes, Camille turned to Brook with a trembling voice. “Am | really as awful as Corrie says?”
Her voice cracking with emotion, she shifted her gaze to Elyse. “Elyse, am | really that terrible? Did | steal
someone who wasn’t meant to be mine?”
Elyse’s response cwith gentle reassurance. “No, sweetie, you're lovely. | like you very much.”
“Elyse’s right,” Brook interjected, a warm smile playing across his face. “I love who you are. Besides...”

His expression hardened as he glanced at Corrie with unveiled contempt. “She’s the ungrateful, arrogant one.
You have no idea what she’s capable of. Nobody likes her. She's just getting what she deserves.”
Camille dabbed at her tears, her curiosity peeking through the vulnerability. “Corrie, did you really do all those
terrible things? Why act so self-righteous? Can't you see how nasty you're being?”
Elyse couldn't suppress her amusement. She wondered with genuine curiosity where Brook had discovered
Camille. The girl was sharp as a blade, yet maintained an air of innocent naiveté that perfectly masked her
calculated strikes.
Storm clouds gathered on Corrie’s face, but she couldn't unleash her thunder. In this moment, she stood alone—
no allies, no supporters. All she could do was clench her jaw and swallow her pride.
Throughout the remainder of the meal, Corrie retreated into silence. She ate in isolation, removed from the
conversation, like a ghost at her own table.
Camille, however, wasn’t content to let sleeping dogs lie.
With honey dripping from her words, she turned to Corrie. “Corrie, Elyse and | would love sliquor. Would you
mind?”
Elyse, catching Camille's drift, offered a soft “Mm-hmm” in agreement.
Already a volcano of suppressed rage, Corrie felt fresh magma surge through her veins. But catching the
calculated glint in Camille's eyes, she forced herself to swallow her pride.
Through gritted teeth and a smile that wouldn't fool anyone, she managed, “Order whatever you want. | said it's
on me. Go ahead.”

Camille tilted her head, a musical laugh escaping her lips.
“Elyse, see? | told you Corrie wasn’t entirely without merit. She's at least willing to pay for sdecent wine.”
Elyse rested her chin on her hand, her eyes drinking in Corrie’s barely-contained fury with unveiled amusement.
A derisive snort escaped her. “Indeed. She's not completely without merit.”
Corrie’s jaw clenched so tight the muscles danced beneath her skin.
Brook caught Corrie’s expression and shot her a look of pure revulsion. “Watch your face. Don’t be rude to my
guests.”
“Are you kidding me?” Corrie exploded, incredulous. “They're both dripping with sarcasm and practically
insultingto my face! | can’t even react?”
