Zeke looked at Sunny and teased him. "Hey, Sunny, did you hear that? Jeremy is asking you to treat us again."Sunny looked so focused staring at Corinne that he was startled when he heard Zeke calling him. Sheepishly, he said, "Um… My brother suspended my car, and I spent all of my money on last night's dinner. I don't have any money left on me, so I can't treat tonight…"Jeremy looked indifferent and raised his chin. "It's alright. It's on her tonight."Who?When Corinne realized Jeremy was talking about her, her cheeks puffed like balloons as she furrowed her eyebrows.So weird! Why should she treat them to dinner? She did not know them nor was she close to them. Most importantly, Jeremy was the one who insisted on bringing her here.Everyone had their eyes on Corinne, who was going to buy them dinner tonight.Corinne had no intention of that, however, and proceeded to say, "No, I'm not…"Jeremy grabbed her shoulder and pulled her toward him before she could finish her senten
The impatient Annie walked up to Corinne and said, "Hey, Corinne, let's get you to change to your equestrian clothing!""Equestrian clothing?" Corinne raised an eyebrow. "I didn't bring any."Annie was surprised by this. "You didn't bring any? I brought a spare one with me, so you can wear mine! Though, I don't have an extra pair of boots.""I have a spare pair." Rosie smiled gently. "But I don't know if it fits her."Corinne said, "My shoe size is 5.5."Rosie said, "I'm wearing 7.5. It's slightly bigger, but you can give it a try."Corinne nodded. "Alright. Thank you."Rosie's smile brightened. "We're friends. You don't have to be so polite!"As such, the three girls headed to the changing room.In the changing room…Corinne put on the equestrian clothing Annie gave her. It was a red color suit, and the unique fitting of the equestrian clothing fully embraced her curvy figure.The shape of her face looked exquisite with her hair tied in a messy bun, giving her a cool yet cu
The scream startled everyone."What was that?""Did something happen in the changing room?""I think that's Rosie's voice!"Corinne and Annie heard it, too. They exchanged looks with each other in surprise and shook their heads, showing how baffled they both were. After all, they did not notice anything weird about Rosie when they left the changing room.Thus, all of them rushed to the changing room to check out what happened.In the room, Rosie looked in pain as she sat on the bench with sweat all over her forehead. She looked so hurt that she began to turn pale.Everyone saw how tormented she looked.Sunny approached and asked, "Rosie, what's wrong?"Zeke stood in front of her and asked softly, "Rosie, did something happen?"Rosie looked up and said in a trembling voice, "My…my leg…"What was wrong with her leg?As she said that, everyone looked over at her leg.She was only wearing one of the boots, and her free foot was outstretched as if she was enduring severe pain.
Sunny stared at the ear stud, and his anger disappeared immediately. Helplessly, he looked back at Rosie. "Rosie, I think you dropped your ear stud into the boot. You have to be more careful next time."Rosie looked at the ear stud on the doctor's hand and shook her head sheepishly. "No, this isn't my ear stud. I never wear this kind of ear stud…""Are you saying this ear stud isn't yours?" Suddenly, Sunny became alert. "Did someone put it into your boot? Is someone here trying to hurt you?"Everyone was surprised when they heard that. They had known each other since they were kids, and their families went way back. None of them would use this method to hurt their friends.Rosie was stunned when she heard that. After a while, she realized something and looked at Corinne, who was standing in between Jeremy and Annie, in disbelief."Corinne, I didn't do anything to you. Why did you do this to me?" she lamented.Everyone was dumbstruck by what they heard as they glanced at Corinne i
Obviously, Rosie was hoping Jeremy would take her side and aid her.Zeke and the others looked at Jeremy and wondered how he would handle the contradiction between his wife and a friend.No one could tell what he was feeling as he did not portray any obvious expression on his face. He said in a deep voice, "Yes. I know you'd never accuse anyone without any reason."With that being said, it showed Jeremy was on Rosie's side.Corinne felt disheartened hearing that. She looked down and stretched her mouth into a sarcastic smile. No one was on her side, and it would not be a surprise if no one here believed in her.Over the period she cooperated with Jeremy, they had been through a lot. Heck, they even slept together. It was just…disheartening when the man she sacrificed her body to save took the other person's side without thinking about it.Trust was the hardest thing to gain in this world.Everyone gazed at Corinne as if they had their own interpretation of the incident. Some of
Reeling in shock, Corinne blinked her bright eyes at Jeremy. 'He believes me?'Rosie's eyebrows furrowed in confusion. "But Jeremy, didn't you say you believe that I wouldn't accuse Corinne without a reason? Why are you saying this now?"Jeremy's expression remained neutral. "Yes, I believe you wouldn't accuse her without a reason, so why don't you tell us why you do it anyway and accuse my wife?"As it turned out, Jeremy was not on her side after all despite saying otherwise. Moreover, he was certain Rosie did it to herself with his question.Rosie started to panic and played the victim's card. "Jeremy, we've known each other for so many years! You know me. How could you suspect me?"Jeremy did not react to this, however, as he said, "Time isn't the standard to test everything. Although I just know my wife, we trust each other, and we won't suspect each other just because someone tried to instigate our relationship."Rosie was stunned. Her eyes reddened as something bitter welle
Jeremy replied instantly, "She doesn't need to prove anything to you."Rosie felt incredulous hearing this. "Jeremy, what has gotten into you? You're not this kind of guy! It isn't too long since you two are married, and you're allowing her to blind you from the truth?"Jeremy ignored her and turned, intending to lead Corinne out.However, Corinne pulled her hand out from Jeremy's hand and turned to face Rosie. "If I can prove that ear stud isn't mine, are you going to apologize to me?"Rosie was stunned for a while before earnestly saying, "I will apologize to you if you can prove the ear stud isn't yours."Corinne raised her brow. "That's not enough. If I can prove it, you have to pay for everyone's expenses today. Surely an apology won't be enough after you tried to accuse someone without any reason."At first, Rosie thought Corinne was going to make her suffer. When she knew all she needed to do was pay for everyone's expenses for the day, she scorned Corinne mentally.This
Thus, Rosie smiled gently and said nicely, "I am truly sorry, Corinne. It's a misunderstanding. Why didn't you tell us earlier that you're allergic to silver? If you'd said it earlier, this wouldn't happen."Corinne raised her brow and replied, "Miss Rosie, do you know you nearly made me a criminal just because you misunderstood me? Are you trying to blame me for not proving my innocence earlier?"Rosie smiled sheepishly. "Uhh… Corinne, that's not what I mean…"Corinne chuckled. "Miss Rosie, I don't care what you're trying to say. Just don't forget that you're paying for all of our expenses today."Despite the bitterness she felt, Rosie could only nod 'understandingly'. "Yes. Don't worry, Corinne. It's my fault. I'm willing to accept the punishment. Everything is on me today. Think of it as my compensation to you."Just as Corinne wanted to say something, someone pulled her.Jeremy's face appeared right in front of her and gave her a fright.He leaned over to examine her ear and
