Chapter 320
“Sc*mbag? Tell me, just how am I one?” Jeremy asked with a frown.
Corinne was just about to answer his question when the phone in her pocket suddenly rang, causing her to lose her
train of thought. She fished out the phone from her pocket and saw that the place where there should be a name
was only a string of numbers.
However, she had a near photographic memory when it came to remembering numbers and could tell with a
glance that it was Anya who was calling.
“Here, Mister, you take the call. It’s from your precious Anya.” She handed the phone to him and looked out of the
window to give him some privacy.
Jeremy accepted the phone without looking at it and immediately rejected the call. “Corinne Carew, turn around
and look at me,” he said sternly.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne turned to look at him, her beautiful eyes filled with contempt. “And then what?”
Jeremy looked deeply into her eyes and started to explain, The reason I asked you to go to Lunar Century Manor
that day was actually…”
The phone rang again. The ringtone kept playing and playing, which irritated Jeremy to no end.
Corinne raised an eyebrow. “Why don’t you pick up the call first? After all, she might be in an emergency.”
After thinking it over, Jeremy accepted the call and put it on speaker.
“Jeremy, are you home yet?” Anya’s soft and gentle voice
came from the other side of the phone.
“Not yet. Is something the matter?”
“Lucas‘ car broke down on the Yonder Bridge. We’re stuck here at the moment, so can you come over and pick us
up?” said Anya helplessly.
“What about Lucas‘ subordinates? Can’t he ask them to pick the two of you up?” Jeremy asked emotionlessly.
“Lucas‘ phone ran out of battery, and he doesn’t remember any of his subordinates‘ phone numbers. I only have
your number saved in my phone, so there’s no one else I can call… I’m also feeling a little sick right now…” replied
Anya in a trembling voice.
“Okay, I’ll send someone over to pick you guys up,” said Jeremy.
Anya was a little hurt to hear that. “Jeremy, didn’t you just leave the hospital not long ago? You shouldn’t be too far
from the Yonder Bridge. Can’t you come here and pick us up yourself? Or is it because…Corinne doesn’t want you
to come here?”
Corinne rolled her eyes and thought, ‘Why does she always have to push all the blame on me? This has nothing to
do with me. She’s one cray–cray woman, alright.‘
“Jeremy, my illness seems to have flared up again. I’m just worried that your people won’t reach here in time.
Jeremy…
I’m feeling really, really bad right now…” Anya said weakly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJeremy lowered his eyes and was silent for two seconds. “Send me the location.”
“Okay, I’ll send it to you right away. Thank you so much, Jeremy!” said Anya happily.
Corinne had already unbuckled her seat belt by the time Jeremy had hung up the phone. She was about to get out
of the car when he grabbed her wrist from behind.
“Where do you think you’re going?” Jeremy asked.
“I’m going to take the taxi back so that no one can ever say that I was the one who came in between you and Miss
Anya. Don’t worry about me, Mister. You should quickly go save your damsel in distress,” said Corinne sarcastically.
Jeremy threw her a cold glance. “Sit down. We’re going together.”
Corinne was forced to buckle up her seat belt again. Jeremy quickly turned the car around and drove to the Yonder
Bridge.
Corinne was really annoyed. “Mister, I don’t think I should be going with you to pick up Anya…”
“You’re the one I like!” Jeremy impatiently cut her off without warning.
Corinne was shocked but then in a deadpan manner, she said, Mister, you shouldn’t joke about something like this.
I’ll never
