Annie was worried Francine would do something stupid if she got the wrong idea about Corinne and Aaron’s
relationship, so she quickly answered, “He’s Mister Aaron, vice-president of Newmoon Group. He and Corinne are
very good friends. They go way back.”
Francine frowned in confusion. “What? Corinne is friends with Newmoon Group’s vice-president? I thought she
came from the countryside. How could she know someone like that?”
Annie rolled her eyes at her. “You’re really as shallow as I thought you are. You shouldn’t judge a person by their
background, you know? So what if Corinne came from the countryside? Uncle Jeremy still fell madly in love with
her, didn’t he? It’s not that surprising Corinne will have some impressive friends, right?”
Francine felt conflicted. ‘So Corinne already knew some impressive people before she even met Jeremy, yet she
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnever once name-dropped them to impress me. Looks like I really should get to know her better…’
“Well, he’s certainly quite good-looking. Why didn’t Corinne get with him instead of my brother?”
Annie rolled her eyes again. “So what if he’s good-looking? That means nothing if there’s no spark between them.
Plus, I just told you they go way back, so they’re more like family than friends. It’s hard to fall for your own brother
or sister, don’t you think? You better not bring this up to your grandparents, you hear?”
Francine pouted. “I was just asking. I never plan to tell them!”
“D*mn right, you won’t. Anyways, I need to head back to take care of Corinne now. Uncle Jeremy will kill us both if
he finds out we left her alone in the room.”
After that, Annie jogged back to Corinne’s ward. By the time she got back, Xante and Aaron’s girlfriend had already
arrived.
She stood still in shock as she watched Aaron holding his girlfriend and kissing the top of her head on the sofa. This
was not the first time she had seen Aaron being intimate with another girl, but the girl today was exceptionally
gorgeous.
Compared to all the previous party-loving heavily made-up girls Aaron brought to the company, this girl looked very
clean and docile.
Even though Annie would feel jealous whenever Aaron fooled around with the party girls, she never felt threatened
as her woman intuition told her Aaron was just treating them as casual hookups. In other words, he would never
ask them to be his girlfriend, nor would he marry them.
As with all lovestruck fools, she firmly believed Aaron would want to settle down once he met a girl he could see
himself spending the rest of his life with. However, what she did not expect was that the girl would not be her, but
someone else. Seeing him with his girlfriend at that moment seemed to have driven this point home.
Annie was still in a trance when Francine came up from behind her. Francine saw Xante sitting beside Corinne’s bed

there.
“Corinne, who’s this?” Francine walked over and looked up and down at Xante, who was dressed in branded items
from head to toe. ‘She looks great in that outfit! But why would someone who can afford so many branded stuff be
peeling an apple for Corinne?’ she wondered.
“She’s my friend,” drawled Corinne lazily.
‘This woman is her friend, too?’ thought Francine with a frown. ‘How come she never mentioned all these cool
friends of hers?’
At that moment, Annie had snapped out of her shock. She forced herself to look away from Aaron and his girlfriend
and walked over to Xante.
“Miss Xante, let me help you cut up the apple of Corinne. I wouldn’t want you hurting your hand.”
