Unfortunately, the leaf cup withered not long after, and the servants disposed of it when they cleaned his room.Jeremy was surprised that Corinne was able to fold such a cup."Someone's coming, Mister!" Corinne's voice brought Jeremy back to his senses, and when he looked up, he saw the light of a flashlight shining at the cave entrance, accompanied by the sound of a helicopter propeller coming closer.Jeremy got up, took Corinne's hand, and went to the entrance of the cave to check on the situation. A helicopter hovered low over the gorge, and someone was shining a flashlight all around as if to look for something. The search and rescue team must have arrived!Corinne raised her cell phone with the flashlight function on and waved it toward the helicopter to direct their attention to where she and Jeremy were.The helicopter pilot saw the flickering light below and immediately flew over to make a landing.The cabin door opened, and Zeke jumped out of the helicopter with Gerald.
Corinne was conflicted between laughing and crying, and she could only pat Annie's back helplessly. "There, there. Everything's fine now!"Sunny walked over sullenly and asked anxiously, "Ahem! You okay, Corinne?"Annie hugged Corinne so tightly and did not let go, so Corinne had no choice but to let Annie keep holding her. She looked up at Sunny and smiled. "I'm fine. Are you disappointed?"Sunny frowned. "Why would I be?"Corinne cocked an eyebrow and said, "If I die, you wouldn't have to do anything to deal you’re your sister's love rival, right?"Sunny snorted angrily. "I don't want you to die! I just..."At that moment, the white horse Moonshine neighed excitedly and ran toward Corinne from the edge of the cliff.Everyone was on high alert because that fierce horse had thrown Corinne down earlier for no apparent reason and might attack Corinne again.Jeremy's pupils contracted, and he strode up to Corinne to protect the two girls who were hugging, Corinne and Annie.Zeke,
Corinne ignored Zeke and walked to Moonshine's side.Jeremy smirked slightly when he saw that the always talkative Zeke was a little deflated by her actions.Corinne took off the saddle from Moonshine's body, handed it to Jeremy, and shone the flashlight on the horse's body as she buried her fingers inside the horse's fur. Slowly but carefully, she searched for something on the horse's body.A small item reflected the light from the flashlight.Corinne immediately moved the flashlight closer and spotted a diamond-studded earring embedded in the horse's flesh after taking a closer look. That earring was the same as the one that was lodged in Rosie's foot during the day!Jeremy saw the earring too, and he narrowed his sharp eyes at once.Due to her allergy to silver, Corinne did not touch the earring and turned her head to tell the crowd. "Come and take a look, everyone. This is why Moonshine suddenly lost control and went berserk today."Everyone came closer out of curiosity, and
A small ear stud would not be able to retain traces of fingerprints on its surface. Even if it did, it was already gone after it was on the horse's body for a long time.There was no surveillance camera in the woods, so there was no evidence to prove Rosie was the culprit.Nonetheless, the truth was out in the air, and everyone knew it.Instead of replying to Rosie, Jeremy raised his hand and helped Corinne to adjust the jacket on her body."It's cold out here. Let's head back to the hotel."…At Castle Horse Ranch Resort.The doctor rushed over to examine the snake bite wound on Corinne's arm, and he praised them for administering first-aid correctly. Although the snake was not poisonous, using broadleaf plantain to spread it over the bite acted as a good sanitizer to kill the germs and avoided infection.Jeremy was relieved to hear the doctor confirm that the snake was not poisonous.The doctor then advised Corinne to protect her snake bite wound from getting in contact with
Jeremy was satisfied with the response he got and left.…When Corinne came out of the bathroom with the towel drying her head, she noticed that Annie was the only one left. Unconsciously, she glanced around to look for Jeremy.Annie came over and said, "Hey, Corinne! Uncle Jeremy went out. He's probably going to take care of that awful Rosie for you."Corinne was stunned as she furrowed her eyebrows.As Annie said, Rosie was indeed an awful woman. Forget being sneaky, deceitful, and good at disguises—she even dared to attempt murder!Nonetheless, Jeremy, Rosie, Zeke, and the others had known each other for a long time. She doubted Jeremy would fall out with his friend because of her, his three-month contract wife.Besides, Rosie was best friends with Anya, the apple of Jeremy's eye. Even if he was angry at Rosie, he would not do anything serious to her for the sake of Anya.While Corinne mulled over her thoughts, Annie giggled and grabbed her hand. "Corinne, come. I'll dry you
The door was opened, revealing Sunny standing outside with a proud face.Seeing him, Annie frowned in disgust. "Why are you here?""I'm looking for Corinne," Sunny answered."And why are you looking for her? I think you're in the same gang as Rosie and don't mean well. We don't welcome you!"Sunny glared at her angrily. "Move. I didn't come here to look for you!"He pushed Annie away and walked into the room. When he saw Corinne's bandaged arm, his proud eyes looked regretful. "Ahem! I heard a snake had bitten you."Corinne sat on the chair with her legs crossed. "You heard right."Sunny sheepishly asked, "Then…are you alright?"Corinne remained relaxed with a faint smile. "I'm fine. The snake wasn't poisonous. I bet you're very disappointed."Sunny furrowed his eyebrows vehemently. "Corinne, I'm not the evil person you probably think I am. I just want you to stay away from Jeremy, but that doesn't mean I want you to die for no good reason!"Annie walked over with her hands o
Corinne bet Anya was a wonderful, perfect person to have so many people willingly protect her.She thought for a while and said to Sunny, "I'll give you a solution. Your family is rich too, isn't it? Even if Jeremy pulls his investment from Rosie's family business, your family can invest and help your sister's best friend to get through this difficulty."Sunny looked embarrassed. "I have no say in my family's financial decision yet… My brother makes a clear distinction between public and private interests, and he never likes Rosie, so that's…not going to happen."Feeling apologetic, Corinne said, "Well, there's nothing I can do to help you."Knowing her place, she knew her words did not mean much to Jeremy, and she did not have the right to interfere with his financial decision. Even if Jeremy listened to her, she was not going to be the person to plead for Rosie.It was not her style to help someone who hurt her several times, nearly costing her life in the process. She was a fir
Even after several minutes, Jeremy said nothing in response.Thus, Rosie whimpered, "Jeremy, you're aware of the situation with my family business. If you withdraw your investment, my family business is done for!"Jeremy's tall, distant self stood on the balcony. Expressionlessly, he lit a cigarette and looked down at the distraught-looking Rosie."Holden Group isn't a charity," he remarked flatly. "It's not the first time your family business has been in a downfall. Every year, the investment Holden Group has in your family business has decreased. I've been keeping an eye on them because we've been friends for many years. Today, however, you don't think of me as a friend, and I don't think Holden Group needs to help your family business anymore."Rosie shook her head fearfully and tried to explain herself. "No! That's not it! How can you think that way? When did I do that? We've known each other since we were kids. You're an important friend in my life!"Jeremy glared at her from
