"Where the hell did she come from? Oh my god! She's so ugly that it hurts my eyes!""Scram, you ugly girl! Stop butting in!""Go! Beat it!"Corinne, with her phone in hand as she recorded them, walked toward them and said, "I've recorded everything you did, and you guys have committed a crime. Once I pass this video to the police and file for a lawsuit, you guys'll be sentenced to a light sentence, and there will be a record in your file even if you guys are still juveniles."You guys are from rich and reputable families. I don't think I need to mention how much this is going to affect your education, career, and future once you get a record in your file, right?"Yash and his friends looked dismayed and anxious. Obviously, Corinne struck a sensitive spot. Thus, they looked at each other warily, hesitating."You b*tch! It's none of your business! Get her phone!" Yash reprimanded.He refused to be threatened by a woman who came out of nowhere. Most importantly, the woman looked th
Yash adjusted his necktie and rejected Corinne's proposal. "Psh! We won. Why should we compete again? I don't have the time."Corinne did not panic either. She calmly took out her phone to play the video she took minutes ago."I recorded you guys where you guys ganged up to hit Sunny. If you don't agree to compete one more time, I'll report this to the police. I'd like to see if your parents would support you to obtain ownership of Lunar Century Manor, or if they'd beg us to close the case because they don't want you boys to have a bad record.""You…" Yash did not have a choice.He already tried once, and they could not defeat her. Heck, they could not even get close to her!"Fine! Let's compete one more time! You won't beat us in the game anyway!"Corinne stayed calm. "Since there's no gaming room here, let's play a mobile game. What about 'Guardian of the King'?""Sure!" Yash smiled confidently after hearing Corinne pick the game. "First thing first, I agree to compete, but I
Yash and his friends comfortably sat on the couch, knowing they were going to win the game. He sneered at Sunny when he saw how sour he looked—like the sore loser he was."Sunny Rivera, I was going to be kind and let you go if you were willing to bark like a dog, but you made the wrong choice. You're going to lose Lunar Century Manor to me, but you're still going to bark like a dog—and this time on a live stream. You asked for this. Bear in mind I didn't push you into this!"Although Sunny was not confident, there was no turning back for him. The least he could do was act tough and rebuked with gritted teeth, "The game hasn't started yet. We don't know for sure who's going to win!"Yash snorted. "Don't cry when you bark during the live stream!"Sunny gave his everything. "Stop talking crap and start the game!"Everyone took out their phone and opened the game.Since Yash and his friends had five people, they made a team themselves. Corinne and Sunny waited for the system to pair
"You got lucky, Sunny!" Yash stood up, took out the betting contract from his pocket, and crumpled it into a ball before throwing it at him.Sunny caught the ball of paper, uncrumpled it to see if it was correct, and immediately tore it up."You would've lost even if you didn't cheat. Why is it so hard for you to accept that? How about another game if you can't accept it? If you lose, you're going to call me 'daddy'! Are you brave enough to take up that offer?""I don't have that much time to play with you!" Yash obviously did not dare to play anymore. His expression turned sullen, and he turned around to bring his companions away in defeat.Sunny could finally hold his head high.On one side, Corinne leaned lazily against the sofa, exited the game, opened her chat group [Old Driver's Club], and moved her finger to send a big reward to the group. [Good game. This is for you!]Aaron's avatar then popped up. [You asked us to join you in a game, but now that it's over, you're just g
Corinne could not help but recall Jeremy's attitude toward her. He made it abundantly clear that he could give her everything except his feelings during the three months of their agreement. That alone was proof that he only had feelings for Sunny's sister.Her expression turned dark, and she chuckled. "Thank you for your reminder, but I'm not interested in making friends with a kid." She then walked away at a leisurely pace.Sunny was unhappy that his offer to make friends with her had been ruthlessly rejected, so he followed Corinne resentfully and lashed out, "Who are you calling a kid, Corinne? I'm not a kid! I'm not!"Corinne ignored his pestering and allowed him to follow her out. She strolled slowly and began looking for Sherlyn in the banquet hall. After searching for some time, Sherlyn was still nowhere to be found, so she walked over to a swing chair made of rattan by the floor-to-ceiling window and sat there for a moment. Since the chair was facing the windows, she had the
Sunny nonchalantly rubbed the wound on the corner of his mouth. "I'm fine. I just knocked into something by accident! So, what is it that you wanted to tell me again?"Felix said worriedly, "Umm... I was asked by Ma'am to bring you home so you can do your homework. She said that the university entrance examination is coming soon, and if you don't study hard enough, you'll be sent to a military camp to be disciplined."Sunny frowned when he heard that.Corinne smirked and said, "Hurry up and go home. You need to do your homework, or your momma's gonna spank your little bottom!"Sunny's face turned red after he had been thoroughly embarrassed in front of the friend he just made. He said arrogantly, "Hmph, stop teasing me! I'm not a child, and my momma stopped spanking me long ago!"Felix looked at Corinne a little strangely and wondered why Sunny was in the company of a certain 'Missus Holden' whom Sunny used to loathe. He was also surprised that Corinne was dressed so sharply that
Corinne frowned when she heard that name. "Do I have to go there with you? Can't I choose to skip this?"Sherlyn saw Corinne's displeased expression and lashed out sharply, "Know where you stand, Corinne! You're my assistant now, so you have to do whatever I ask you to! You can't just take a one-thousand-and-five-hundred-dollar salary and assume that you can pick and choose what I assign you to do!"Corinne massaged the top of her nose bridge. "Fine." The thought of meeting Jeremy again gave her a headache, but Sherlyn showed no intention of letting her off work just yet. 'I'll go. Jeremy might not necessarily notice me with this kind of clothes I'm wearing today.'"Sherlyn." The middle-aged man from earlier walked over slowly and called out to her. He was none other than Sherlyn's so-called 'godfather'."Sherlyn, Mister Jeremy and the others are upstairs. Let me bring you over to introduce you."Sherlyn got up happily from the swing chair. "Coming! Thanks, Goran!"Goran looked a
Sherlyn was incredibly happy to receive such praise, but because she had not raised her head since coming in, she had no idea what the man who praised her looked like. Earlier, Goran advised her before they went in that she would be more likable to those young men if she showed an innocent and youthful attitude.Goran patted her on the shoulder and said to her, "Sherlyn, this is Mister Zeke Callen. Say hi to him!""Hello, Mister Zeke." Sherlyn then raised her head slightly and smiled coquettishly. She was greeted by the sight of an extraordinarily-handsome young man. He seemed to be a somewhat frivolous character with dashing facial features and a debonair aura to him.He was so much more handsome than any actor she has ever worked with before!Goran continued to introduce her to the next person. "Sherlyn, this is Mister Gerald Lemington, president of Lemington Group.""Hi there, Mister Gerald."Gerald nodded and sipped his tea."This man over here is the host of today's banquet
