Francine was so angry that she did not know how to argue. With gritted teeth, she said, "You're still a disgusting, hideous two-faced woman, acting pure and naive with Jeremy and my grandmother when you plotted so many things behind them!"Corinne smiled. "So I'm a pure woman and a bad one too? I have thousands of different faces. Good people see my good side, and bad people see my bad side. Miss Francine, why don't you think of the things you did before running your mouth at me like this?"This young lady had the face of an angel yet was able to laugh so menacingly like a devil, taking revenge on those who tried to hurt her.A chill crept up Francine's back. "Devil! Y—You're a devil!"Corinne raised an eyebrow slightly. "It's up to you how you treat me if I'm a devil or not. I warned you before, though. I told you to not mess with me, but you refused to listen."At this point, Francine accepted she had lost, yet she did not understand one thing. "So how did you do it? You're the
Corinne looked at Francine as her carefree demeanor dropped, revealing a more serious behavior. It was time to talk business."The only reason I came in to tell you all of this is that I want to let you know you don't have to do all this just to kick me out of the house. When the time comes, I'll leave on my own. Even when you want me to stay a second longer, I won't."Francine was stunned. She asked curiously, "When the time comes? What do you mean?"Corinne raised an eyebrow. "You don't know? The reason your brother married me is that he wanted to gladden your grandfather, preventing his health from worsening. Three months from now, when your grandfather's health is stabilized, our marriage will end. At that time, my job is done. You can let whoever you want be your sister-in-law."Francine frowned as she found it hard to believe. "Why should I believe you'll leave when the time comes? Don't try to fool me. I've seen all types of women; they're always on the lookout for new ideas
Jeremy looked at Corinne. "Grandma is fine now. Tommy has sent her home."Corinne nodded reassuringly. "Alright. It's good to know she's alright. I'll get going, then. Bye, Mister!"She thus continued walking.A few steps later, she stopped again to look back and asked curiously, "Mister, why are you following me?"Jeremy raised an eyebrow. "Didn't you say you were treating?"Corinne's lips stretched into a forced smile. "I said I was going to treat Grandma and let you tag along. Now that she can't go, it's not happening."'Hmph! Let me tag along, huh?' Jeremy's eyebrows furrowed as he sneered. "Then let me treat you. We still need to eat, don't we?"Corinne was not interested and waved her hand dismissively. "You go ahead. I have a date!"Jeremy narrowed his eyes. "With who?"Corinne furrowed her eyebrows unhappily. "Do I really need to tell you?"Jeremy glared at her coldly. "What do you think?"'He's too controlling! How am I going to put up with him?' Corinne grumbled me
A party ground was a place students loved to gather. As such, that sort of place was unsuitable and also childish to a handful of successful businessmen and rich kids.Zeke looked around bitterly at the gaudy, garish decorations on the party ground. He voiced his dissatisfaction, "Jeremy, when did you become so childlike, coming to this place where only kids like to play?"Jeremy sat on the uncomfortable sofa of the private room and glanced back at Zeke. "If you don't want to stay here, we can go wherever you want." Zeke shrugged. "Forget about it. We're here already."Gerald walked over to give Jeremy a glass of whisky. He then cheered elegantly with Jeremy. As he drank the whisky, he looked at Zeke. "We're either at the pub or the club. It's too boring. This place is refreshing, I'd say, and it looks nice enough!""You're right!" Zeke smiled and went over to sit with them.They cheered."Let today be the day we reminisce about our good old days as students!" Zeke said.To be
With the door closed, it left a lot to the imagination.Jeremy lowered his head to light up a cigar. He leaned back on the wall and puffed out the smoke. The smoke lingered around his face.…In the private room.The electronic dance music and the disco light created a party ambiance that was lively and noisy."Corinne, what do you play on doing now that you've graduated?" Despite sitting very close to each other, Chester needed to shout for the person next to him to hear what he said.Hearing the question clearly, Corinne sat up straight and half-yelled as she answered, "I don't know yet. But why are you here? You're not graduating this year."Chester pursed his lips shyly. "Umm… A few of my best friends graduated today. They invited me over."Corinne nodded to show that she understood.Truthfully, Chester came because of her. With Corinne having graduated, it would not be easy to see her. He had secretly fallen in love with her for three years. Since he first saw Corinne in
Jeremy's question had Chester feeling awkward. "Umm…I'm… I'm Corinne's junior."Jeremy looked down at him and said, "Do you think I'd be at ease, knowing I'd leave Corinne with a junior who has feelings for her?"Chester's face turned red. He frowned. Being a young adult, he was angry when someone suspected his character. "I admit I like Corinne, but I'm not a thug. I'll never do anything to her. I respect her very much!"Jeremy narrowed his eyes, raised the cocktail he took away from Corinne, and swirled it. The corners of his mouth were lifted. "My, oh, my. You're so brave to confess your love to her when I'm standing here.""I…" Chester's cheek became even rosier. Obviously, he felt embarrassed.Seeing the embarrassing situation her classmate was in, Corinne furrowed her brow and stood up. "Mister, I promise I won't drink anymore. Can you please leave if there's nothing else?"Jeremy looked at her with his dark pupils. "Kicking me out?"Corinne shook her head. "I'm not kickin
"Whoa, really?""Thanks, Corinne!""Yeah, thanks! You're too generous!"Corinne's eyes widened, and she looked at Jeremy in equal parts surprise and anger. 'D*mn him! What in the world is wrong with him? He expects me to treat everyone here today? It's common practice to go Dutch when it comes to gatherings between students, and there are more than a hundred students here today. Does he have any idea how much this will cost?'A little smirk appeared on Jeremy's lips when he saw Corinne's face scrunching in shock. He retracted his hand from her head, put it in his trouser pocket, and turned around gracefully to head out.After he left, all the other students were in awe of Corinne's grand gesture. The girls surrounded her and asked who her handsome family member was, and Corinne brushed them off with a simple response.By contrast, none of the male students dared to approach her. After all, a family member of their university's most beautiful woman was in the private room just opp
Corinne, who was sipping juice from a glass with a straw, cocked her eyebrow and stared at Ivanka. "Can't you play and sing your composition?"The charming Ivanka smiled gracefully in response and said, "I can, of course, but it's a little dull to be singing all by myself. Everyone's hoping to see me sing and dance at the same time!" After saying that, she turned around and asked the students around her, "Isn't that right, everyone?"A few of the male students around her nodded eagerly at the idea of a beautiful young lady singing and dancing."Yeah! We haven't seen Ivanka dance yet!""I heard that she studied ballet before, so she must be super graceful when she dances!""It'll be difficult for us to meet again in the future once today's graduation party is over. Watching Ivanka's performance would be the best closing chapter to complete our four-year journey here at university!""Yeah! I'm looking forward to her performance too!"Ivanka knew that she would receive support from
