"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
"Miss Annie, Miss Corinne is someone else's wife right now, so it's not appropriate for Mister Jeremy to make any moves on her or have any relations with her anymore. Don't mention her after you go inside later, got it?""What?" Annie was so shocked, she stood up, forgetting that she was in a car. She instantly bumped her head against the roof of the car and she let out a small cry in pain.Tommy was speechless when he saw that. "Miss Annie, are you alright?"Feeling irritated, Annie rubbed her head which was in pain. She could not be bothered about the pain anymore as she asked anxiously, "How could Corinne be someone else's wife? She hasn't gotten a divorce from Uncle Jeremy, has she? How could she marry someone else?"Tommy sighed helplessly. "It's like this. Miss Corinne and Mister Jeremy were never officially married back then. Mister Jeremy only wanted to get married back then to brush off his grandfather. Therefore, there's no such thing as a divorce."Annie looked resentfu
When it got to Annie's turn, she entered the room for the interview at the Human Resources Department and greeted the three interviewers. She introduced herself, then sat down, waiting for their questions.The three interviewers looked at her beautiful resume, then looked at each other as if they found it a little surprising.After that, the interviewer sitting in the middle looked up at Anne's outstanding image, asking with slight confusion, "The previous company you've worked for is the Holden Group?"Annie nodded. "Yes!""You were able to work at such a good company like the Holden Group, so why did you resign?"Annie smiled and said, "Nothing in particular. I just felt I didn't have a future there. I wanted to try a new job and challenge myself."Her words made the three interviewers even more confused. Holden Group was known for being a company that was hard to join and had great benefits, yet there was someone who felt that she did not have a future working in the company.
All three of the interviewers remaining in the room just looked at each other."I feel this girl is a little suspicious!""She's most probably another girl who's here for the vice president.""Maybe. Mister Aaron has always been a chick magnet!""There's a lot of girls who came to get a job here for the sake of getting close to Mister Aaron, but she's the only one who's even willing to be cleaner!"…At the same time, Corinne came to the Rivera Group to work on time as well that day, and she spent the whole morning preparing the sales plan for the quarter. After she was done, she brought the sales proposal into Lucas's office.There was already a new secretary at the entrance of the office. She was a young and fine girl, and she was slacking off and scrolling on her phone.Corinne went over and asked naturally, "Is Mister Lucas in?"Regaining her senses, the new secretary quickly put her phone down and stood up. However, once she saw that it was Corinne, she immediately looked
