Chapter 500
All of a sudden, there seemed to be some sort of pressure bearing down on everyone, and the scene became
deathly silent. Everyone thought that the atmosphere was a bit strange as Jeremy seemed to be staring at Lucas’s
female secretary with a cold and sharp gaze.
Jeremy had a conflicted yet dangerous expression that sent chills down one’s spine.
Missus Benet also noticed that something was amiss with Jeremy’s gaze, since there did not seem to be a logical
reason as to why Jeremy would stare so intently at Lucas’s secretary.
‘Isn’t he satisfied with leading Anya on all this while? Has he taken a liking to another woman? Tch. Men are all the
same. They always want the best of both worlds. He does have a good eye, though. Corinne is an outstanding
young lady whose beauty makes it difficult for those who lay eyes on her to look away.”
Missus Benet did not welcome Jeremy’s presence, and she was prepared to call someone to remove him from the
venue.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtOne of her male servants was looking all around him, and his eyes lit up as soon as he spotted her. He then walked
in quickly and said hurriedly, “Missus Benet! You’re here! The old man sent me over to inform you that he wants to
speak with you.”
Missus Benet frowned. “What is it?”
The male servant shook his head. “He didn’t say what it was. He merely told me that it was urgent and asked me to
inform you that he wants to see you as soon as possible!”
“Okay,” Missus Benet said before turning to the guests and letting them know that she would have to excuse herself
for a moment. She then immediately followed the male servant.
The pressure-filled silence was lifted by that brief exchange and everyone started to whisper among themselves.
“Why is Mister Jeremy staring so intently at that girl?”
“Do they know each other?”
“Miss Anya is right by his side, but he doesn’t seem to have looked at her more than once!”
“What’s going on?”
Anya could not have been happy to see Jeremy staring so intently at Corinne, especially not after she heard the
whispers of those around her. She stretched out her hand, deliberately tugged on the man’s sleeve in a coy
manner, and asked, “Are you tired after your business trip? Do you want to get some rest first?”
Jeremy’s gaze remained fixed on Corinne and he answered Anya bluntly, “No. I’m leaving.”
Anya’s expression became a little weird and she forced a smile like a well-behaved doe. “Okay,
Jeremy. I’ll go with you.”
Lucas did not want his sister to go with Jeremy at such a late hour, so although he had kept
quiet the entire time, he still stepped forward and said, “You’re already here, so why don’t you stay for a drink?”
Rosie came over as well and said, “Yeah, Jeremy. You should stay. Zeke and Gerald are here too!
As she said that, she deliberately blocked Corinne from Jeremy’s view.
Jeremy’s expression remained unchanged. “No, thanks. I have other matters to attend to.”
He then took a step forward and walked toward the door. As he passed by Corinne, he halted his footsteps abruptly
and turned his head to give her a cold look.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHowever, he stopped for only a brief moment before closing his eyes again and walking away.
When Anya saw that he ignored Corinne completexo.com fast updately, her worries were dispelled and she
smiled secretly as she went up to him. “Wait for me, Jeremy! I’ll go with you!”
With that, Anya left along with Jeremy.
Corinne’s tense nerves relaxed slightly and she breathed a sigh of relief. As it turned out, she was merely
overthinking. She was nothing to him after she served her purpose as a tool for him, and he would not hold her
accountable for anything when they met-not that there was anything for him to hold her accountable, of course.
She left after the cooperation between. them had lapsed, and both sides did not owe each other anything.
On the contrary, she felt a little surprised at herself for panicking when she saw him.
Everything was back to normal at the party, and Rosie snorted as she gave Corinne an annoyed look. From the
looks of it, Corinne was no longer important to Jeremy, and he had no intention of talking to her anymore.
Rosie then had a shy expression and she hesitated for a moment before walking over to Lucas with a blush on her
face. “Do you have time, Lucas? I’d like to dance with you downstairs if that’s okay.”
Lucas was unmoved. “Could you please bring Anya home? It’s late, and I don’t want her going around out there.”
