Lucas pushed away Anya emotionlessly.This was the first time he ever pushed her away so she started to panic."Lucas, what's the matter with you?"Lucas coldly threw the phone at her and said, "See for yourself!"Anya caught the phone and all the colors immediately drained out of her face when she saw the content. 'How is this possible? How did she recover the chat history?'"No! Lucas, this must be fake! I didn't send anything like that! I didn't! It must be fake! You can't possibly believe I'd do something like that."Even with the conclusive evidence staring her right in the face, Anya still insisted that it was fake. However, how could it be fake when the conversation was not screenshots? It was as real as it gets.Lucas looked at the hysterical and unrepentant Anya and thought how unlike she was from her previous gentle and kind character. Suddenly, a smear of disgust appeared in his eyes. 'When did she become like this?'Corinne yawned lazily, looked at Anya, and said to
Corinne nodded without hesitation."Yes. Since your sister has pretended to pass out, and we all know it's impossible to wake up a person who's pretending to pass out, you need to apologize on her behalf as well!"Lucas was speechless. No one ever so brazenly asked him to apologize to them before.At that moment, Jeremy — who was sitting not far away smoking a cigarette — smirked. He narrowed his eyes slightly in both admiration and sarcasm as he watched Corinne trying to extract an apology out of Lucas.'She's still as spunky as ever. No matter where she is or who she is going up against, she never backs down from a fight to uphold justice for herself and others. Lucas has certainly met his match this time,' thought Jeremy.He puffed out some smoke rings. The more he admired Corinne, the more unhappy he became. This was because it was the same spunkiness that made her ignore his feelings and run away without telling him to get married to another man.At that moment, looking at C
The dashing Jason, however, was leaning gracefully against his car. He crooked his finger at Corinne and said, "Come here, Corinne. I'll give you a ride home."Corinne was speechless. 'Who the h*ll do these two men think they are? Car models? Anyway, what is Jeremy still doing here? Didn't he go to the hospital to check on his baby mommy?'An impatient frown appeared on Jeremy's face when he saw Corinne taking her sweet time making her decision. With darkening eyes, he said coldly, "Come over here, Corinne!"Jason was not going to let him win. He beamed an alluring smile at Corinne and said, "Choose me, Corinne. I have chocolate in the car for you."Corinne was once again speechless. The passersby kept looking at them and some of them even stopped what they were doing to watch how the drama of two guys fighting over a girl would unfold.Faced with the choice of two high-quality guys, who would the girl choose?Corinne raised her eyebrow. She first looked at the man on the left, a
"Yes, it's her. She looks exactly like the woman in the photo Sir sent. Tie her up!""But, boss! This girl looks quite pretty. It's it such a pity to kill her right away?""You just can't keep it in your pants when you see a woman!""Haha. I'm telling the truth! She's a beautiful young woman. She might even be an innocent girl. It's simply too wasteful to just kill her straight away!""Forget it. It's Sir who personally ordered to get rid of this woman this time, so we must do it efficiently with no frills. There's no time for you to mess around!"After Corinne's head was covered with a sack, her arms were twisted to her back by an incredibly strong man and were tied tightly with a rope.Facing such a situation, she did not put up a strong resistance. She just asked very calmly, "Hold on. Did you guys get the wrong person?"It was the man who was addressed as the boss who asked her, "Aren't you Corinne Carew? You're the one. We didn't get the wrong person. You're the one we're l
Jeremy looked down at her, staring coldly. "I asked you to leave when we were at the hospital, but you didn't. I asked you to get into my car at the entrance of the restaurant, but you refused. I saved you, yet you repaid my kindness by being ungrateful and trying to hit me? I think you might only learn to be careful if you were killed by those people just now!""Who says I was being ungrateful? I didn't know it was you who came just now!" Corrine frowned as she suddenly realized something was wrong. "Hold on. What do you mean? You seem to have long known someone wanted to attack me."Jeremy's silence implied that he admitted it. It seemed like he did not wish to bother telling her too much. He just turned around and walked out of the narrow alley.Corinne did not get an answer, so she quickly caught up to him and asked again, "Do you know who's the Sir those people spoke about?""Mm-hmm." Jeremy lowered his head to lit a cigarette and hummed indifferently without looking at her at
As Jeremy closed in on her, Corinne's bright eyes shifted awkwardly. "Because I hate the smell of cigarettes!"Jeremy frowned, bending over to lean closer toward her. He exhaled a puff of smoke above her head as if he was bullying her, then said with a slightly mocking tone, "If you hate the smell of cigarettes, stay away from me."Upon saying that, he put out his cigarette by rubbing it against the wall behind Corinne, then he threw it into the trash can in front of him, hitting a bullseye.Corinne hugged the wall as she walked, to begin with, so after Jeremy stopped her and closed in on her, she leaned back until there was no way she could retreat anymore.At that moment, Corinne was almost completely in the man's arms with her back against the wall and his arm above her head. She frowned, exhibiting resistance, and glared at the man unhappily, "How am I supposed to stay away from you with you being like this? Please move, Mister Jeremy, and I'll certainly stay away from you!"T
Upon saying that, the man turned around, got into the car that slowly followed behind him, and left.It was after Aaron saw Jeremy's car disappearing at the end of the street that he looked at Corinne, asking seriously, "Boss, what happened? Why did Jeremy take you home again? Also, you said some people with ill intentions wanted to attack you just now. Is that true?"Corinne felt relieved after Jeremy left, but she was not completely relaxed. She waved her hand in exhaustion and said, "It's a long story! I'm tired. Let's talk after I take a rest at home for a while!"…At that same time, Tommy sat in the front passenger seat of the moving car, turning his head to look at Jeremy at the back, who looked sullen. Tommy felt so pressured that he did not dare to say anything.However, when Jeremy got out of the car to save Corinne, he forgot his phone in the car. Annie happened to call at that time, and Tommy was afraid that it was an emergency, so he answered the call for Jeremy.Tom
"Mom, you know how dispirited Uncle Jeremy was for the past month or so! She finally found Corinne after searching so hard for a month, we can't be a burden to Uncle Jeremy. If Corinne ran off because of our poor hospitality, then Uncle Jeremy is going to be very pitiful!"Annie's mother smiled helplessly and lovingly, "Alright, stop nagging! I know you feel sorry for your uncle. I will treat Corinne cordially!"Annie smiled, feeling happy. "That's right!"At that moment, she heard the sound of a car pulling into the front yard. She got so excited that she let go of her mother's hand. "Mom! That must be Uncle Jeremy and Corinne! Hurry up and prepare more food. I'll first go out to greet them!"Upon saying that, Annie ran with excitement.Annie's mother shook her head while smiling helplessly, then she returned to the kitchen to prepare food with the housekeeper.When Annie rushed out to the front yard, Jeremy just got out of the car after the driver respectfully opened the door f
