Anya's eyes were completely red from all the crying. She forced back another round of tears and said, "I'm sorry. I know I shouldn't cry, but I'm just worried about Sunny…"Sunny's heart immediately went out to Anya. He held on to her trembling shoulders and said, "Anya, don't worry about me. I'll be okay. I'm willing to bear the responsibility alone and will accept any punishment from Jeremy, so why don't you go back with Edmund first?""But Sunny…" Anya could not get any further with her words as she was sobbing too much.Corinne laughed and said, "Miss Anya, I must say I really admire you."Sunny looked at Corinne with a puzzled expression on his face. 'What is she laughing about?'Anya was stunned. She turned her doe eyes to Corinne and asked innocently, "Corinne, whatever do you mean by your words? You admire me?"Corinne nodded. "Yeah, I really admire you. You have a bestie who was willing to do everything to set me up for you, though it's quite unfortunate she eventually e
Corinne simply scoffed.Anya watched the interaction between Corinne and Jeremy. How they were behaving was nothing out of the ordinary, yet it was the most intimate she had ever seen Jeremy being with another woman. Her eyes sank and she clenched her fists tightly, so tightly that her fingers dug into her palms.At that moment, Edmund also felt like they were intruding on something, so he quickly took out something he was sure Jeremy would be interested in."Mister Jeremy, Mister Lucas asked me to give this to you. This phone used to belong to the female influencer. The original video remains untouched on the phone. We hope this will help you clear up all those unfounded rumors about Missus Holden."Jeremy glanced at Tommy, signaling him to take the phone.Tommy immediately took the phone from Edmund's hand and checked the video stored inside. It was as Edmund said; only then did he nod at Jeremy."Mister Jeremy, how do you intend to punish Mister Sunny?" asked Edmund.Jeremy d
Jeremy narrowed his eyes at Anya before turning back to face Corinne with a questioning look, asking her what he should do.Corinne furrowed her brow. 'Why is he looking at me like that again? What… Is he asking me to be the bad guy here 'cause he's too embarrassed to turn down his 'savior'? Man, he's really devious, huh? Oh well, I'll help him out this one time, seeing as how he's been really nice to me for the past few days.'Corinne rested her chin on one hand and lazily turned to look at Anya. "Miss Anya, you know that your brother's subordinate can't be late to work, yet you don't seem to realize that this applies to your Jeremy, too."The combination of the word 'your' and 'Jeremy' caused the man beside her to frown.Anya felt wronged. The corners of her eyes turned down, making her look even more fragile and innocent. "No, Corinne. I didn't mean it like that… I just thought that it'll be fine if Jeremy is late since he's the boss of the company, whereas Edmund is just an ord
Sunny stayed behind in the dining room, waiting for Corinne and Jeremy to give out his punishment.The maid placed a steaming hot plate of breakfast food in front of Corinne, who was so hungry that she immediately dug in. As she was shoveling the bacon and egg into her mouth, she sensed a pair of eyes boring into her. She did not know how to describe the look, but the closest she could get was that it felt like she was being entwined by a flaming thread that was getting tighter around her body.She instinctively frowned and glared at Jeremy. "Mister, why are you still here? Shouldn't you be off to work right now?"Jeremy furrowed his brow in mock anger. "You just can't wait for me to leave, huh?"Corinne shook her head. "No, it's not like that. It's more like you've finished your breakfast, so instead of wasting your time here, shouldn't you head off to work where your staff is waiting for you?"Jeremy pursed his lips and said, "There's no rush."Corinne twitched the corners of h
Corinne completely ignored Sunny. Instead, she yawned, walked past him, and up the stairs. She had only one thing on her mind, and that was to go back to sleep.Sunny was dumbstruck. He chased after her unhappily and said, "Hey, Corinne! Aren't you going to punish me? Hello?"Corinne paid him no mind and continued walking up the stairs.Anger began to rise in Sunny. He did not like being ignored and was about to go upstairs to give her a piece of his mind when Bowen grabbed his arm and said, "Mister Sunny, Ma'am would like to take her nap now. Why don't you wait for her to wake before asking her to punish you?"Sunny furrowed his eyebrows. "Why is she so lazy? It's already late morning and she still wants to sleep?"Bowen did not like anyone from the Rivera family talking like this about his employer, so he dropped his usual politeness and said, "In any case, you're not to bother Ma'am. You're to wait for her quietly until she decides to come down on her own accord!"He then inst
Everything originated from Jeremy's change of attitude toward her.Corinne waved her hand and said, "It's fine. I'll get lunch on my own."Bowen hurriedly asked, "Where are you going, ma'am? Shall I ask the driver to send you there?"Corinne walked toward the gate and said, "No thanks. I was thinking of going out for a walk anyway."Bowen still did not feel at ease. "Umm... Did you bring your cell phone with you? Is it fully charged? That'll make it much easier for Mister Jeremy to look for you. It'll be terrible if something happens to you and he can't contact you."He remembered when Jeremy came back from a business trip and was unable to reach Corinne after she did not return the entire night. Jeremy searched frantically for her throughout the night and barely stopped short of turning the entire city upside down.Just thinking of this left Bowen feeling horrified.Corinne changed her shoes at the entrance while saying, "Don't worry. I won't lose it! You should get back to wha
Sunny scratched his head. "Well, my sister said that the conflict between the Riveras and the Holdens will deepen if no one comes forward to take responsibility. If that happens, her relationship with Jeremy will be affected..." His voice unconsciously became softer as he spoke.At that moment, he realized how inappropriate it was to talk about his sister and Jeremy in front of Corinne.Corinne, however, did not care at all and simply curled her lips in a smirk. "Will you die for your kind sister if she tells you to?"Sunny nodded without thinking. "Of course!"Corinne could only give him a thumbs up. "What an awesome younger brother you are!"Though her words and actions were that of praise, Sunny felt that it was a little weird, almost as if there was some deep yet negative implication in her praise. Still unconvinced, he followed Corinne and asked again, "What do you mean by that, Corinne? My sister treats me the best, and I can't just leave her to die if she's in danger. My li
A bus happened to arrive as soon as Corinne arrived at the bus stop. She regained her senses, jogged a couple of steps, and hopped on the bus before finding a seat by the window.Sunny chased after her and boarded the bus too, but since it was his first time taking a bus, he did not know that he had to swipe a card before getting on. In his embarrassment, he had to go back and scan the QR code to make payment after the bus driver reminded him in a loud voice.After paying the fare, Sunny sat next to Corinne with a sullen face.Corinne ignored him and had a pleasant mood as she looked at the scenery outside the window.Sunny frowned, stared at Corinne for a while, and asked in confusion, "Hey, Corinne. You're Jeremy's wife now. Why do you still take the bus?"Corinne leaned lazily on the chair with a relaxed expression on her face. "What's wrong with taking the bus? Isn't the service good?"Sunny glanced around inside the bus and saw that it was generally clean and spacious. There
