However, not only was Corinne not embarrassed, but she also nodded frankly. "Well, I am not used to it. I rarely spend money on such insignificant leisure and entertainment. I'm usually pretty frugal with my spending."Rosie chuckled and looked at Corinne with the attitude of an aristocrat looking down on commoners."It doesn't matter. We just have different values, and you'll get used to it gradually. Rich and idle people like us usually have a lot of free time, and there's nothing we need to do by ourselves, so we like to play around and spend money everywhere, spend some money to have some fun."Corinne's expression was brief. "Oh, that sounds nice.""Corinne, you should stay with us to nurture and be immersed in this life from now on," said Rosie, sounding tolerant and accepting. "Otherwise, you'll have different views when you're with Jeremy, who was pampered since childhood, and it'll be difficult for you to live together!"Corinne raised his eyebrows. "Is that so? Well, he
Jeremy walked in slowly and tossed the phone back to Sunny.The man's eyes were fixated on Corinne. He walked up to her, and as if caring for his child, he raised his hand to tuck her hair behind her ear. "Even if we have different views, we can seek the common ground while reserving differences.”Corinne was startled.'Seeking common ground while reserving differences'?It sounded rather daunting to hear such words from the mouth of this cold-blooded, indifferent man.After regaining her senses, Corinne's lips unconsciously twitched. Did he hear what she said earlier? Was he angry?Rosie, too, was shocked to have heard how Jeremy described his relationship with Corinne. It was hard for her to accept it, but she did not dare to show it.She could only explain with a sheepish smile, "Jeremy, I was just joking with Corinne!"Jeremy slightly turned his slender body and stood beside Corinne in a serious manner, looking at Rosie darkly. "Inappropriate jokes aren't funny."Rosie's s
What was this? Did this little rascal just recall bidding him farewell?Corinne turned and smiled at Rosie. "Sorry to make you spend a grand, Miss Rosie, and I almost forgot to say goodbye to you, too."Jeremy's face sank.Rosie was stunned for a moment, feeling that Corinne's words had an ominous undertone to them, but she could only respond with a smile as all eyes were on them. "Oh, you're too polite, Corinne!"Corinne smiled, walked toward her, and returned Rosie's 'warm' hug before she whispered in her ear, "I just forgot to clarify with Miss Rosie that I never urged Jeremy to divest, and I didn't even know that he invested in your family. You just provoked me, is all."If I ever wanted to seek revenge, I'll do it myself, and I'll never punish you by provoking your friendship with Jeremy. If I do it myself, it'll be worse than what he would've done. I don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either."If you dare to challenge me again, I'll kill you."Rosie felt a chill
Jeremy glanced at Sunny. He stared at Corinne, whose back faced them as she stood outside the suite door not too far away, and merely replied, "Nothing."Sunny sighed despondently. "My sister always said that she'll be back soon, but she hasn't come back after so long! These days when my sister isn't at home, no one looks after me and instead belittles me…especially my brother. When he sees me, he criticizes me and bullies me all day long!""If you want to know when she'll return, call her yourself and ask.""Forget it. It's better for Anya to rest and to recuperate abroad, and I don't want to put pressure on her."Jeremy closed his eyes, his gaze indifferent. "Since Rosie's foot is fine, you should look after her on your sister's behalf and send her home safely."Sunny nodded obediently. "Alright, I understand. Jeremy, where are you going?"Jeremy was walking away as he replied, "I have something to do at home, so I'll be taking my leave now."Seeing that Jeremy was about to le
Only Annie would speak a few words with Tommy from time to ease the awkward, cold atmosphere.…The car arrived at the Levine family mansion, and because Annie was sitting in the middle, Corinne consciously got out of the car to make way for her.Annie got out of the car and asked Corinne and Jeremy if they wanted to head inside for a moment and sit. Both of them declined the invitation unanimously.The difference was only that Jeremy refused directly, and Corinne was a little more hesitant.Annie had no choice but to reluctantly say goodbye to Corinne before she obediently walked back into her home.Corinne got into the car again, still seated near the window as she put on her earphones and continued to close her eyes and rest.The man finally spoke and asked her in a calm tone, "What are you listening to?"Corinne closed her eyes and simply answered, "A song.""What song is it?""A pop song.""..." Jeremy's eyes darkened, his jaw tightened, and he stopped talking.Corinne
The little rascal's tone was not friendly at all. She was not in a good mood, no doubt.What happened to Corinne?Jeremy's eyebrows sank slightly. "Okay, but what are you throwing at me?"Corinne spread her hands. "Mister, I'm not throwing a temper tantrum. I just think that when no one else is present, we don't need to act as a husband and wife, nor do we need to cultivate a relationship. Men and women are different, and we should consciously keep a distance."After all, Anya, Jeremy's true love, was coming back, and it seemed that the man had not moved on from her, too.Corinne was not interested in meddling in other people's affairs. Even if she was misunderstood as a mistress, she would never actually stoop to being one.For instance, Sunny and Rosie saw her as such, so they would trouble her repeatedly.As for what happened that fateful night a few days ago, she had to give him a little hand because he was poisoned. She would erase that memory and seal it forever as if it n
Jeremy cleared his throat after being told off by his niece. "If you can easily see something, why do you need to say it formally?"Annie said affirmatively, "Hey, it's very necessary! We girls hate ambiguous relationships the most! If you don't express your intentions but still make intimate gestures to others, girls will feel that it's irresponsible teasing and feel as if we're not respected, so of course we'll be angry!"Jeremy hesitated slightly. "She's already angry. What should I do?"Annie was stunned. Was Jeremy…actually asking her for a solution?This was a first; her all-powerful uncle had never done this before, and she felt a sense of importance."Duh, you have to make up for it as much as possible! Pick a suitable time, formally express your heart to the other party, let her know that she's the one you're dead set on, and give her enough sense of security! Pay attention! There must be a sense of ceremony! Let me emphasize this, there must be a sense of ceremony! There
After hanging up the phone, Corinne lazily leaned on the sofa and continued to watch the television as she ate her potato chips.20 minutes later, Annie hastily arrived at the Holdens estate and dragged her into the car, insisting on taking her shopping to buy Jeremy a birthday present.Corinne felt helpless. Why did she need to buy Jeremy a birthday present?She was just an extra, playing the role of his wife with zero pay, yet all of a sudden, she had to give him a gift?No matter how she looked at it, this felt unreasonable.…Downtown Commercial Street.In a famous designer store in VK Mall, Annie sat in front of a glass counter, carefully selecting the dazzling array of delicate accessories."Aunt Corinne, what kind of gift do you think Uncle Jeremy will like more?"Corinne stood aside and tried on a pair of sunglasses disinterestedly and replied casually while looking in the mirror, "I don't know."Annie frowned and turned to look at her, showing a troubled expression.
