[Look! She's getting all anxious again!][Is she Corinne?]LuckyAnn replied, [I'm Joe Mama!]Corinne looked at the screen and knew right away that the enthusiastic individual with the 'LuckyAnn' username was Annie. She exited the live stream and sent a message to Annie. [Go to bed. Don't waste your time with them.]Annie quickly sent another message. [But I'm pissed at them, Corinne! They're slandering you when they don't even understand what's going on!][I didn't do anything wrong, so I have no reason to be afraid of anything. Be a good girl, and ignore them.]Annie sent another emoticon denoting her frustration. Corinne did not reply to her anymore and clicked into the group chat just below her chat with Annie.[Aaron: What's going on, boss? Why are people slandering your university entrance exam all of a sudden?][Xante: Our boss is the top student in the university entrance examination. That much is undisputed. Everyone in her year knows that she excelled in her studies!]
Jeremy wiped his hair with a dry towel. He sat at the edge of the bed and saw Jason's message when he glanced at her phone.His expression turned gloomy. "Do you still contact Jason in private?"Corinne looked at him. "Not at all. He sends me messages once in a while, but I've never once replied to him."Jeremy's tone sounded a little displeased. "When did he send you a request?"Corinne never intended to hide the truth from him. "When you and I were done with the wedding photos, he sent a friend request invitation to me after we left the Lunar Century Manor. I didn't accept it at the time, but he kept sending requests several times every day. I felt a little bad ignoring him, so I accepted it."Jeremy leaned closer to her and rubbed her head. "Ignore him whenever I'm not around."Corinne blinked curiously. "That was what I planned to do all along! But isn't he your good friend? Shouldn't I show a little more courtesy to your friend for your sake?"Jeremy stared into her eyes an
Corinne's cheeks felt warm when he called her his 'wife'. She immediately sat up and said, "I didn't take a shower last night, so please excuse me while I freshen up."Jeremy chuckled as he watched her dash into the bathroom and lock the door. He got up and changed his clothes, too.After Corinne came out of the shower, Jeremy went in and freshened up as well. The two of them then left the bedroom and went downstairs for breakfast.However, Jeremy was not too happy when he saw an outsider in the dining hall.When Pamela saw her grandson and granddaughter-in-law, she beckoned with a smile. "Jeremy, Corinne, you two should sit and have some breakfast. I made some delicious oats today! Taste it and see if it's to your liking."Corinne smiled obediently. "Thank you, Grandma."She then looked politely at Greg and said, "Good morning, Grandpa."Greg was still unhappy over the previous day's incident and let out a disgruntled grunt.Corinne did not take offense. She was about to sit w
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. He walked up and pulled a dining chair so he could sit.Greg and Pamela glanced at Chester when he stood up for Corinne.Francine looked at him before turning to Jeremy and noticing his scowl. She wanted to tug on Chester's clothes so he would keep his thoughts to himself.Greg cleared his throat and said, "Did you just say you can vouch for her, young man? How exactly are you going to do that?"Chester had a firm expression as he explained, "Corinne became the highest scorer at the university entrance exams with her excellent results, and many famous universities wanted her to enroll with them. The University of New Capital City's dean personally sought Corinne out and enrolled her at the university. This is something every student of the university knows."If the rumors online were true, she wouldn't have been able to maintain her good grades after her enrolment. However, she continued to excel and make the university proud. As soon as that news went vi
Corinne genuinely liked the food Pamela prepared and was not simply trying to flatter Pamela out of politeness.Greg was already biased against her, so he naturally took issue with her words and actions.She treated her elders politely, but she was never one to suck up to anyone. If a person did not like her, she would not make the extra effort to try and win them over.Pamela felt very embarrassed. She could only glare at her stubborn husband and sigh helplessly. She then said to Corinne, "Don't mind him. Eat as much as you want. There's still plenty in the kitchen!"Corinne did not take offense to Greg's attitude toward her and smiled obediently. "Okay!"Her phone then rang twice while she was busy eating. Corinne took it out of her pocket to check the message.It was from Aaron.[Aaron: Your prediction was pretty spot on, boss. Lilliana and Sherlyn left the house early this morning. They met Anya in a park on the expressway. Anya gave them a suitcase, which I assume is filled
Corinne pursed her lips. "You were the one who left in such a hurry without waiting for me!"Jeremy bent over slightly to touch her forehead. "This is my fault again?"Corinne raised her chin. "Well, is it mine?""Okay, okay. It's my fault!" Jeremy pursed his lips and smiled helplessly. "Were you going to come with me to the company?"Corinne shook her head. "No. I was going to ask you to drop me off at the Riveras."Jeremy raised his eyebrow worriedly. "What business do you have going there?"Something would always happen to her whenever she went to the Riveras, so it was understandable for Jeremy to worry about her when he knew she wanted to head there alone.Corinne said firmly, "To deal with all those allegations online. A day has passed, so it's about time I settle everything."Jeremy was startled for a moment before he realized what Corinne meant by that. "Was Anya behind all this?"Corinne nodded. "She does things to the extreme sometimes. Since she can't have you to he
Jeremy would never call Lucas under normal circumstances. The only connection Lucas had with Jeremy was Corinne.'Did something happen to Corinne?' fretted Lucas. He answered the phone right away.After listening to what Jeremy had to say to him, Lucas's pupils shrank, and he said firmly, "Understood. I'll be at home today."When the call was over, Lucas closed his laptop and said to the driver, "Make a U-turn and send me back home."The driver was a little startled to hear that. He thought he had misheard Lucas, thus he repeated, "Does that mean you're not going to the company today?""Yes. Turn the car around and bring me back home.""Understood."Lucas ran into Jeremy when he arrived back home. The latter had just dropped Corinne off.When Lucas saw Jeremy's car, he told the driver to stop at the gate so he could open the door and get off. He immediately walked toward Corinne.Jeremy had just gotten out of the car with Corinne too. He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear an
"I highly doubt the claims made against Corinne online. Besides, why would she orchestrate something like that against me? I'm just an old man! Lucas gave her a check as a token of thanks for saving my life, but she never thought of accepting it!"Beatrice nodded to what her husband said. She had a good impression of Corinne from the first time they met, though that was probably in large part due to Corinne's similarity to their missing granddaughter, Luna.In conclusion, neither of them believed Corinne to be the sort of evil person with bad intentions.Phoebe frowned and shook her head after hearing Cedric's defense of Corinne. "The two of you are being too naive! She obviously wouldn't take the money that Lucas offered her if she was motivated by something else!"Cedric frowned, obviously a little wary of his stepdaughter-in-law's claims. "Tell me, then. What would a young girl like her be motivated by?"Phoebe sighed and said, "The two of you might not have gone to the hospita
