Paper confetti flew and scattered on the floor as a thin, well-dressed young woman jumped out of the box with colorful butterflies. The sight was surreal and magical.The girl ran toward Jeremy excitedly and buried herself in a hug fondly. "Jeremy, I'm finally back! Thank you for preparing this for me; I like it so much. It's so touching!"Corinne froze at the sight as her expression dulled. Suddenly, the butterflies she felt earlier…felt like a joke.Anya had come back.Every pink tulip in Lunar Century Manor was blooming for her. The reason Jeremy had asked her to come here was most likely to inform her that the apple of his eye had returned. Thus, she had to behave when she was acting as his wife to avoid causing misunderstandings with the girl he loved dearly. That must be it.She understood.For a moment there, she truly believed this day was all about her. She thought Jeremy was going to confess his love to her.Hilarious. The man told her that he could provide her with an
On the other side of the sky, a bright full moon hung in the sky as if the lively confessions had nothing to do with it.Corinne took out her phone and took a photo of the moon to post it to her social media.[The moon is so beautiful tonight.]Just a few seconds after it was posted, a friend with the nickname An liked the post. She even commented on the post, [Yeah. I think so, too.]Corinne never recalled having an acquaintance with that name in her account, so she clicked the profile.It was a girl smiling peacefully and cheerfully at the camera.She continued to look at the post the girl posted. From there, she concluded that this was Anya Rivera and her social media account.It was only then Corinne realized she was using Jeremy's phone, and the social media account logged into the phone was Jeremy's. She actually posted to Jeremy's social media account instead of hers.She did not think twice when she posted that and did not notice that was not her account.'Ugh, forget
Corinne's words did not comfort the blind elderly man, alas."Even if they have urgent matters to attend to, it's still wrong to park the car on the tactile paving. Nowadays, people are only concerned with their own conveniences and refuse to think if their actions will trouble others!"The blind elderly man did have a point.Corinne sighed and wanted to assist the blind elderly man to walk past the SUV when all of a sudden, someone shrieked, "Hey! What did you guys do?!"Corinne looked in the direction of the voice and spotted a young girl with purple hair running toward them angrily, holding a selfie stick.The girl saw the shattered window and immediately snapped crassly, "What the f*ck? The heck, you two! Why did you smash my car?"Corinne had seen this purple-haired girl when she sat at the embankment of Yonder River, and she figured the girl was an influencer.The purple-haired girl used the lavish confessions at Yonder River as a way to attract viewers by broadcasting the
"I'm not moving it! What are you going to do?" The purple-haired girl scanned Corinne arrogantly. It was then she realized Corinne was…very beautiful, and that only made her angrier.Nevertheless, she reckoned Corinne was not her match as she looked weak and timid.All of a sudden, she came out with an idea.She unlocked the phone on her selfie stick and went live, switching up so swiftly and portraying herself as an innocent victim while she complained to her viewers."Someone, please help me! I'm in danger! This old man and this girl here smashed my car without any reason, and now, this old man is lying on the ground, trying to scam me. You guys, look at how they're trying to bully me! Hic, hic…"She deliberately lowered the selfie stick so the angle was at a place where the viewers could not see her car was blocking the tactile paving.Corinne remained silent while the influencer refused to admit she was wrong. Anyhow, she helped the blind elderly man up and brought him to som
Corinne quickly readied herself as the purple-haired girl tried to attack them again. Her instincts kicked in, and she spread her arms to protect the blind elderly man behind her and was prepared to kick the girl again.All of a sudden, a group of men dressed in black appeared, surrounding Corinne and the blind elderly man. Two of the men quickly captured the crazy girl.Startled, the purple-haired influencer struggled while shouting at the top of her lungs, "Who are you people? Why are you capturing me?! Let me go!"The leader of the men shot the girl a cold glare before he turned to head toward his men. Respectfully, he bowed to the blind elderly man and said worriedly, "Sir, we finally found you. Are you alright? Why did you come out alone? The young master sent us out looking for you. He's worried sick."The blind elderly man snorted. "He has me locked up in the house every day. I just want to take a walk outside."The man felt helpless. "He's doing it for your good, especiall
The man looked up at Corinne, who stood beside his grandfather.She had a calm and indifferent expression on her face, a huge contrast when one compared her expression with the shocked expressions on the onlookers' faces. It seemed like she was in her own world.As a matter of fact, she did not look remotely shocked when she saw the man's outstanding appearance.Truth be told, Corinne thought of leaving when she knew the elderly man's family arrived, but she could not find a way out due to the men in black still surrounding them.The man nodded politely at Corinne. "Hello."Corinne nodded back. "Hello."She was no exception from the other girls when it came to judging a man's appearance. It was normal that she, too, thought the man in front of him looked very handsome, but at the same time, he looked dangerous.She had a feeling that despite his smile, the man was not genuinely happy or of any sort. In contrast to his handsome and friendly face, she felt like the man could turn
Just as Aaron's car drove off, another black car arrived and parked where Aaron did.Sunny got off in a hurry and quickly ran toward the handsome man in a grayish formal suit. "Lucas, is everything alright?" he asked tentatively. "Did you find Grandpa?"As it turned out, the man was Sunny's brother, Lucas.The man had just coaxed his grandfather into the car to go home. He glanced at Sunny when he heard his disappointing brother panting. He did not answer his question and instead asked, "Where did you come from?"Sunny would typically act haughtily like other rich kids, but he was a different person when he was with Lucas. He was well-behaved and lowered his head as if the mice had seen a cat."Lucas, I…came from Century Lunar Manor…"Lucas' expression hardened. "The term is starting soon, and you still have the time to play around? You're repeating for the third time this time. Are you refusing to let other people take away your 'school hunk' title?"Sunny was embarrassed and f
Sky Mirror Residence was situated near Yonder River. There was only one unit per floor, and it was one of the most expensive places to stay in the city center.On the 28th floor…Upon entering the unit, Corinne plopped onto the couch as if she was a jellyfish. She was so tired that she wanted to stay there and not move.At that moment, a fluffy cream-colored—a paste color of yellow—cat jumped up at her. It nuzzled Corinne with its head, demanding cuddles.That was when Corinne was willing to sit up and cuddle the cat.The cat's name was Mia. Aaron took it in and raised it when he found it in the countryside. The cat was already eight years old.Mia was a plump cat, and at first glance, people might think Mia had been living the high life since it was a kitten. As a matter of fact, Mia was there when all Corinne, Xante, and Aaron had were leftover meals. It stayed in a humid, tiny basement with them before.Many years later, Mia finally got to live in such a comfortable place and
