The second floor of Twilight hosted high-end sound-proofed private VIP rooms from the noisy bar downstairs. The two floors were practically worlds apart.Corinne's call to Annie went unanswered, and she did not know which room Annie was in.The bar's general manager saw Corinne and came forward respectfully. "Miss Corinne, are you looking for Mister Aaron?"Corinne shook her head and asked, "Did you see which room Annie Levine went to?"The manager said, "I did not. We haven't received anyone from the Levines today."Annie probably did not go through the normal registration process because she sneaked up to follow Jeremy.Corinne thought for a while and asked, "Which room is Jeremy in, then?"The manager answered truthfully, "He's in the Snow Room."The Snow Room was the largest and most luxurious VIP room in Twilight, reserved only for the most elite of guests.Just as she was about to go to the Snow Room to see if Annie was there, Sherlyn's rowdy voice came from behind. "I'm
Even though it was described as a private VIP room, the interior was more like that of an entire floor due to how spacious it was.The lights were dim, and there was a live band playing some music.Everyone was dressed to the nines, and they were all having a good time, with groups of three to five clinking glasses with each other as they chatted and laughed.Corinne glanced across the crowd in search of Annie's figure.All of a sudden, the pink-haired young woman came running toward her. "Hey there, Au—"Corinne stretched out a finger and pressed it on Annie's lips and stopped her from uttering the word 'aunt'. "Call me by name when you're outside!"Annie curled her lip. "Oh, okay! Corinne..."Corinne frowned slightly and examined Annie's body to see if there were any injuries. "What's wrong? Why'd you call me to come up and save you?"Annie hugged Corinne's arm anxiously, turned around, and pointed behind. "It's them! They bullied me!"Corinne glanced over and saw three well
The man smiled at Corinne and handed her a dice cup. "I wouldn't want you to accuse me of bullying you, so we'll play a game that's not too complicated. We'll just roll the dice, and the one with the highest score wins that round. If you win two rounds out of three, then you win the game. Sounds good?"Corinne nodded earnestly. "Okay. Thanks."Annie's eyes reddened with anxiety. "Corinne! It was my fault! You don't need to play with them! I'll drink as many bottles of beer as they want!" She then thought to herself, 'I can't let my aunt play against those three sleazebags! They'll bully her if she loses! I don't want that to happen..."Corinne patted Annie's restless hand. "Shh! Be quiet, will you? It's going to be fine."'What do you mean it's going to be fine!' Annie wanted to call her uncle over for help, but her cell phone had been snatched by one of the men earlier!Though the contest had not yet begun, they were already surrounded by a crowd of men who came in to watch the e
Annie seemed to be in a dilemma and uttered, "But..."Corinne stared at her and immediately caught on. "There's some important stuff in your phone, isn't there?"Annie nodded embarrassedly.Corinne massaged the top of her nose bridge and turned to look at the man. "What other game do you want to play?"The man looked at Corinne's confident expression. "Winning or losing doesn't matter this time. We'll spin this wheel of fortune. I'll return her phone in exchange for you playing this game once!"Corinne looked down at the device on the table and felt that it was a particularly pointless game."Fine. I'll do it."The man smirked. "The rule is that you have to press the button with your eyes closed. Whatever option you land on will be my 'punishment', and whatever option I land on will be your 'punishment'!"Corinne frowned and objected to it a little. "Why is it that we're choosing punishment for each other instead of for ourselves?"The man shook his head. "Because otherwise, i
Corinne had to pass by Jeremy to reach that man. Though she did not look at Jeremy, she could still feel his gaze.She walked over without paying attention to him, but someone stuck out his foot from nowhere and tripped her!In that split second, Corinne lost her footing and fell on Jeremy's muscular chest.The rowdy onlookers fell silent for an instant, and the atmosphere turned deathly quiet.Zeke wanted to stir things up a little, so he blew a whistle that broke the silence.Everyone started to whisper to each other."Bold of her to choose Mister Jeremy!""Isn't she aware of who he is? How dare she touch him!""She seems to have done it on purpose!""Isn't it obvious? Which woman in New Capital City wouldn't want to get close to Mister Jeremy?""I bet Mister Jeremy will shove her away. He's not the kind who'll let any random woman cop a feel of him."When Corinne looked up, her black eyelashes fluttered, and she had a helpless look of embarrassment in her eyes. "Mister...
The man forgot all about it until Annie brought that up again, and he immediately called his companion to come over and return the phone to her.After taking back her phone, Annie glared at them unhappily. "Told you that Jeremy is my uncle. Do you believe me now?""Yes, yes we do! Sorry for being so ignorant! It was our mistake!""We swear, we didn't know she was your niece, Mister Jeremy!""I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"No one would have thought that the pink-haired woman who snuck in was Jeremy's niece. They suspected her to be some random girl who was trying to get close to Jeremy.They were lucky not to have anything disastrous happen to them after their antics!The three playboys gathered in front of Annie and bowed deeply to her and Corinne to apologize. "We're sorry! Can we please implore your good grace not to hold a grudge against us?"Annie rolled her eyes at them, pointed at the door of the Snow Room, and said, "Scram. Don't ever let me see you again."The three men
Jeremy said without the slightest change in expression, "It wasn't necessary at first, but I can't let any man get close to my wife during the duration of our marriage. Walking past me to kiss another man is something that must never happen again."Corinne rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at the street view outside the car window, and snorted sarcastically. "That's rich coming from someone who didn't even lead by example. Didn't you go on a date with another woman in public?"Jeremy narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you jealous?"Corinne was baffled by that remark, and her lips began to twitch. "Me? Jealous? We're not even a real couple. I'm only angry because you kissed me so forcefully without warning and even made me suffocate!"Jeremy cocked his eyebrow slightly. "If I remember correctly, you didn't give me a warning either when you kissed me the other day."Corinne was at a loss for words and her brows had furrowed into a deep frown. "Ahem! How is that the same? Mine was
[Road to Success: (disappointed emoji) Nothing. I'm in a bad mood today, so I wanted to talk to my master.]Corinne replied, [What happened?][Road to Success: (angry emoji) I saw my sister's love rival in Snow Room today, so I wanted to help her vent her anger. I tried to make that woman trip so she'd fall face-first into the ground in front of everyone, but that damn woman deliberately fell on the man that my sister liked and even took advantage of the moment to kiss him on the lips. I'm furious!]Corinne stared lost in thought at the computer screen. The world was such a small place, and he turned out to be the one who tripped her!Zeke and the curly-haired woman were not the only ones with Jeremy at that time. She faintly remembered another handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was about 17 or 18 years old. That must have been 'Road to Success'![Do you think there's a possibility she fell that way because of the angle you tripped her? It's not like she can c
