Chapter 531

It had not been a few days since the last similar incident happened and now Corinne had to go through it again? She looked contemptuously at Anya, hating her with every fiber of her being.'There's no limit to how shameless this woman can be! How can she still think of herself when her child is hurt!'Although she did not like Anya, it did not mean she would pass on that hate to her innocent child. 'That poor kid must be in a lot of pain/ He probably doesn't understand why it's hurting so much either.'Instead of calling out on Anya's lies, Corinne quickly called for an ambulance. After giving the operator the address, she hung up the phone, and only then did she say, "The waiter was the one who accidentally tripped, causing the soup to splash all over your kid. I tried to catch the bowl but I was too late. After that, the waiter legged out of the room 'cause he was afraid of what was going to happen to him."Anya looked at her in disbelief. "Corinne, how can you lie like that? I s

Chapter 532

In the emergency ward.The doctors tended to Joey's burn and after bandaging up his eye, one of the doctors told Anya and Jeremy to mentally prepare themselves to accept the possibility that Joey would forever have a scar on his left eye since that was where he was the most badly burned.Tears immediately flowed from Anya's eyes when she heard that. "Oh, my poor, poor child! He's so young and yet he has to leave with this disfigurement forever! Jeremy, what should we do?"Jeremy patiently tried to calm her down. "The doctor said it's only a possibility. That means there's a chance it won't happen."Anya kept crying. "But, what if?"Jeremy was losing his patience by then. "He's a boy so a little scar is nothing! We should be glad that he's fine!"Anya could tell Jeremy was not in the mood for her theatrics so she immediately turned off her waterworks and said pitifully, "You're right. Joey is a boy so a little scar will not affect him in any way. It's just that, I can't help but t

Chapter 533

Although Corinne only pushed Anya lightly, the latter acted as if the former pushed her very hard. Anya staggered back exaggeratedly and pretended to fall. Her plan worked! She wanted Corinne to raise her hand against her to make it more believable that Corinne would do something as insidious as harming Joey.A hand reached out to grab her just when she was about to fall to the ground. Anya thought it was Jeremy who saved her, which made her secretly happy. However, when she looked up, she discovered it was Lucas who saved her.Lucas put his arm protectively around Anya after he righted her up. He then glared coldly at Corinne and said, "I dare you to push her again.""I didn't push her. I just flung her hand away from my body," said Corinne.Lucas frowned. "I saw everything so there's no use of you denying it!"Corinne was speechless. 'How can he know what happened when he wasn't even here, to begin with? He must be making things up.'Anya was a little disappointed that it was n

Anya immediately started to panic when she heard Jeremy asked Corinne to talk in private. She turned around and looked tearfully at him, "Jeremy, where are you going with Corinne?"Jeremy threw her a glance and said, "Go in and watch over Joey for a minute. I promise I'll settle this matter with Corinne as soon as possible."'Does he mean that he's going to make Corinne pay for what she did? I mean, of course, he would. I didn't put up all that act for nothing. He must have believed my story over Corinne's and is now itching to punish her!' thought Anya.Thinking of this, Anya nodded her head docilely and said, "Okay. I'll go tend to Joey first and wait for you to come back."Jeremy did not say anything to Anya after that. Instead, he looked coldly at Corinne and barked out an order, "You, come with me!"Corinne did not want to talk to him but knew with Jeremy's character, he would not stop until he got to the bottom of who did that to his son. Therefore, she had no choice but to

In any case, Corinne might as well apply the ointment on her burn wounds since Jeremy so kindly gave it to her."Thanks," said Corinne coolly. She decided to forgo delving into how Jeremy knew her hand was burned.While opening and packaging and applying the ointment on her throbbing hand, she said, "In any case, "The bottom line is I didn't hurt that kid. It was the waiter who accidentally threw the hot soup on him."At that moment, Jeremy's eyes seemed to have lost their focus. He looked at her through the haze of cigarette smoke and asked emotionlessly, "Did I ask you that?"Corinne frowned. "Then why did you ask me to follow you here? Don't tell me you did that just to give me this ointment."Jeremy did not answer her. He narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the sparkling diamond ring on her ring finger. "Miss Carew, why are you still wearing the wedding ring my family gave you when you're remarried to another man?"Corinne was speechless. She thought it was not accurate f

Chapter 536

Anya stayed in the ward to watch over Joey but her mind kept anxiously drifting back to Jeremy. She was not that worried about Joey since the doctor already told her his condition already stabilized and this would not affect his health in any other way. The reason he was hospitalized was because the doctor was worried Joey's wound would get infected from improper caring so it was best to monitor him for a few days in the hospital. No, what Anya was worried about was why Jeremy asked to have a word with Corinne in private.'Why isn't he back yet? What the h*ll are they talking about that it needs them to take so long?' thought Anya.Joey fell asleep on the bed due to the overwhelming pain. From time to time, he would make a whimpering noise.'Poor child. He's not even at the age where he can talk yet,' thought Lucas, who was standing over the bed and looking down at him with a serious expression on his face. How could he, Joey's uncle, not be angered when he saw how much pain his n

Anya was unsettled by the way Jeremy's eyes were boring into her so she started sobbing to cover up her guilt. Her eyes immediately turned red and tears after tears rolled down her cheeks.At that moment, Lucas came back into the ward after finishing up his calls. As soon as he pushed open the door, he saw Anya — who he never raised his voice to once in his life — being questioned by Jeremy in an unkind manner and making her cry.Enraged, Lucas quickly strode over to where Anya was and put his arms protectively around her."Jeremy, what did you mean by what you just said? Are you saying that Anya would frame Corinne for something she didn't do?"Jeremy's expression remained indifferent. He looked straight into Lucas' eyes and said, "What I'm trying to say is maybe Anya saw the whole thing wrongly."Anya collapsed against Lucas and shook her head woefully."No! I didn't see it wrongly/ It was Corinne who poured the hot soup over Joey's face. Jeremy, did she say something to you ju

"Miss Anya, that should be my line. I should be the one who stays away from you in the future. After all, trouble seems to follow me whenever I'm with you."That was what Corinne said after coming into the ward with a lazy and mocking smile on her lips.Jeremy's face immediately darkened at her reappearance. He looked at her in a way that asked, "What the h*ll are you doing back here?"Corinne only had to look at his face to know what he was thinking. She simply shrugged and looked him in the eyes in a way that said, "I didn't do anything wrong so why should I run away?"Jeremy threw him one last cold glance before looking away.Seeing Corinne come back, Anya immediately came up with a new plan. With eyes still glistening with tears, she walked up to her and said, "Corinne, let's put all this behind us. I'm willing to forgive you as long as you promised not to hurt Joey anymore. I won't hold a grudge against you even if you still won't admit what you've done."Corinne instantly b

"Corinne, you should know that you won't be able to get away with what you've done once everyone sees what happened in the surveillance footage. Lucas will sue you for hurting Joey. I'm giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf 'cause after all that's said and done, you've helped Jeremy with his family before and I see you as a friend so I would advise you to take the olive branch while it's still being offered to you!"The way she spoke was so righteous and affectionate that those not in the know might think Anya was nothing but a kind-hearted and forgiving little angel.However, Corinne saw through her. She smirked and said, "Miss Anya, your kind gesture is noted. However, I'm the type who's willing to pay for my own mistake so if the surveillance footage showed what you said I did, then I would turn myself into the police station and sit out my prison terms no matter how many years it's going to be."Anya glared at her and inwardly gritted her teeth. However, as the "victim", s

At the sushi restaurant, Cherry Blossom."Sorry. It's not that I don't want to give you the surveillance footage but it's just that our security cameras have been down for some time so there's no footage to speak of," explained the lady owner fearfully when Lucas and the others told her their reason for coming back to the restaurant.Lucas calmly looked over the security cameras located at the payment counter and the main dining hall. It was exactly as Jeremy said, the security cameras were fine since the on buttons were all flashing green."We know your surveillance system isn't working so we've brought a professional to fix it. We would, of course, require your cooperation in this matter," said Lucas.The lady owner did not know who they were but could tell from their clothes and demeanor that they were people she could not afford to cross. Then there was, of course, the matter of an incident happening in the restaurant so she did not dare to refuse."Yes, of course. The restaur
