The bloody-faced female nurse repeatedly stabbed the dead Sunny. Yash finally came to his senses and realized the seriousness of the situation. "Hey! Hey! What are you doing?! Stop!"Upon hearing the voice, the female nurse stopped moving and raised her bloody face to look at Yash. A half-smile appeared on her face as she asked sullenly, "You wanted me to stop? Didn't you tell the receptionist your request that we avoid your group and target this guy? You even said that you wanted to scare him to death! Wasn't that your request, too?"Charlene and her friends were incredibly angry after hearing what the female nurse said. They completely forgot about their fear and looked angrily at Yash."How can you be so evil, Yash?!""Yeah! How could you do this?!""Sunny died because of you! Hic, hic..."Yash was embarrassed and frantic after being accused by his female classmates. He gritted his teeth, stared at the female nurse, and yelled, "What are you talking about? I asked you to scare
However, the three girls breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Sunny's sister was playing a prank on us all along! It was just a false alarm..."Sunny stepped forward to shield Corinne, worried that Yash might get angry and hurt her. He then said, "Tch! You said that I'd pee my pants because I'll get scared, but you're the one who ended up yelling for your mommy!"Yash gritted his teeth and stood up. "How dare the two of you join hands to trick me!"Sunny had an air of confidence as he said, "Weren't you the one who wanted to trick us in the first place? You paid double the ticket price to bribe the actors into targeting us and letting your group have an easy time! Don't even bother playing if you can't accept that you might lose!""It doesn't count! Even though I paid them double, none of them went through with it and did as I instructed!" Yash felt a little embarrassed and started to become unreasonable as he pointed fingers at several of the actors headed by Corinne.Sunny frown
Sunny was not the only one who was rattled by Lucas' sudden appearance. Even the group of students following behind him felt rattled and nervous.It was the girls' first time meeting Sunny's elder brother, and they did not expect him to be so much more handsome than Sunny. They seemed awestruck by his presence, more so because he had the charm of a mature man.Yash and his guy friends were all quiet. Though they were not afraid to confront Sunny, they did not dare to cause trouble in front of his elder brother Lucas. The Riveras were one of the strongest and most influential families in the city, perhaps even the whole country. None of their families could ever compare to the Riveras' status.Lucas's handsome eyes became even more sullen when his question remained unanswered. He frowned and asked a second time, "Which one of you is Luna Rivera?"No one came forth even after a while.Sunny was so guilt-ridden and terrified right that he sweated profusely. He knew better than anyone
Corinne was at a loss for words. 'What did I do? I didn't provoke anyone! Why am I needlessly attacked here?!'"Don't point at her," a deep, booming voice sounded from not far away. Though the voice was loud, the tone sounded almost deafening to anyone who heard it. Everyone felt a chill down their spine as they looked over in the direction of the voice.Standing in the distance was a tall, handsome man. His neat and handsome hair highlighted his beautiful facial features, which looked good from every single angle. His entire person was reminiscent of a walking sculpture, and he carried an aura of prestige despite his expressionless face.Jeremy walked over calmly and exuded a daunting aura from his body.Lucas narrowed his eyes and shot a hostile glance at the man.Sunny was stunned, and he wondered why Jeremy would be there.Meanwhile, the rest of the people felt oppressed by the increasingly tense atmosphere and did not dare not speak out as they looked anxiously at the exchan
Jeremy's cold expression turned even gloomier. "I've never forgotten Anya's kindness, and I will repay it for you.""Is that so?" Lucas sneered and glanced at Corinne with a hint of sarcasm.Jeremy did not seem to have anything to argue about regarding that issue. He was only polite to the Riveras because Anya had saved him in the past. With no further remarks, he immediately took Corinne's hand, led her away, and said, "Let's go home."Rather than leaving, Corinne grabbed his hand in a signal for him to wait a while instead of leaving in such a hurry.Jeremy stopped, frowned slightly, and glanced at her. 'What does she want now?'However, Corinne merely looked calmly at Lucas as she said, "Can I ask you something, Mister Lucas? Do the Riveras have a tradition where one must always pledge their lives to the person who saved them?"Lucas narrowed his eyes. "What are you trying to say?"Corinne smiled. "Does Jeremy have to pledge himself to your sister because she saved his life?
Corinne had a lot to say, and she smiled softly as she continued, "And another thing. Luna isn't a copyrighted name, is it? If it isn't, why can't I use it? Names that aren't copyrighted can be used by anyone, and you have no right to define what name I can or cannot use. The alphabet was created long ago, not by you or your family."Furthermore, I do not wish to claim that I am associated with the Riveras. If I wanted to have a relationship that I could use to show off, I would've changed my last name to Holden. You Riveras should stay away from me in the future!"After ending her sharp and direct tirade, Corinne stretched her arm and took Jeremy's arm meekly as she said, "Let's go! I'll treat you to some food. I saw a restaurant upstairs that looks pretty good!"Jeremy snapped back to his senses and frowned. "You're treating me?"Corinne nodded in a matter-of-factly manner. "Yeah! I'm treating you using your money. Something wrong with that?"Jeremy smiled brightly and curled hi
Anya nodded. "She is, and she's even married to the Holdens, a first-tier family."Sherlyn's complexion turned ugly. "What did you say? How is that even possible?!"Anya had a kind expression on her face as she said, "It's raining outside now, Miss Sherlyn, so if it's alright with you, may I come in and talk to you in more detail?"Sherlyn thought for a moment and decided to let Anya in. "Sure. Come on in, and make sure to tell me the details of what you just mentioned! I want to know how Corinne married Jeremy, and what's with her marriage."Although she had no clue as to who the mysterious woman was, everything the woman said reminded her of the events that happened.Corinne disappeared on the day that Sherlyn nearly married Jeremy and did not even come home that night. When Corinne reappeared the next day, she came back wearing a branded high-end men's suit jacket and suddenly told their father that she wanted to move out, Sherlyn then kept a close watch on Corinne and secretly
Lilliana tugged Marvin's arm in equal parts grief and anger, "Marvin! Corinne picked up all sorts of bad habits from the countryside, and she has strayed off the right path even after she was accepted into a university in the city. All she thinks about is how to use her opportunistic means to claim connections with upper-class families!"When she saw that Sherlyn had attracted Jeremy and was about to be married into the Holdens, Corinne got jealous and planned to snatch that chance away from her. After Sherlyn quit the entertainment circle to get married, her acting career was never as good as it was before, and the chance of getting married into a good family had been taken from her too! Sigh..." As Lilliana spoke, she felt sorry for what happened to her precious daughter and wiped away her tears in distress.Marvin was unhappy, and he frowned when he saw how dejected and downcast his wife and daughter were. He frowned deeply from the moment Anya began to explain what had happened,
