Chapter 770

Corinne cut Anya off with a yawn and said nonchalantly, “You said it yourself. Joey’s adopted, so he’s not your son in

the biological sense. And from what I heard, you were the one who begged Jeremy to adopt that kid with you, and

you also promised he wouldn’t have to do anything else after that.

“You should take up all the responsibility when that kid is concerned. Isn’t it enough for you that Jeremy, out of the

kindness in his heart, had been helping you to take care of Joey all this time? I mean, he had every right to ignore

your pleas for help. I should warn you, Miss Anya, you’re not entitled to any of Jeremy’s help, and if you think you

are…then you should do some self-reflection.”

Knowing that she could not win an argument against Corinne, Anya resorted to using her signature act.” But

Corinne, I just…just wanted Jeremy to check on poor Joey. Why do you insist on making me out to be the bad guy

here?” she asked tearfully.

Corinne smilingly stepped forward and roughly lifted Anya’s tear-stained chin. “I’m making you out to be the bad

guy? Is that what you think I’m doing when I’m only teaching you how to be a decent human being? Well, let me

make something clear to you: From now on, don’t you dare bother Jeremy again, or else-don’t blame me for

beating you up, you homewrecker!”

Corinne’s threatening aura flowed from her fingertips and engulfed Anya in a second, causing her to shrink back in

fear. “How can you…call me that? I’m not a homewrecker!” cried Anya pitifully.

Corinne jerked Anya’s chin higher. “Only 1, Jeremy’s wife, have the right to say whether or not you’re a

homewrecker. Like I said, don’t blame me for beating you up if you ever show your face around Jeremy again.”

After that, she released her grip with such force that Anya’s face swung to the side.

Ignoring Corinne, Anya turned her tear-streaked face toward Jeremy, who stood behind Corinne. “Jeremy, I think it’s

best if I give you back this bracelet ’cause it seems like Corinne really doesn’t like me. I promise I won’t bother you

again, and I hope the two of you get to live happily ever after.”

Anya took off the bracelet, but before she could pass it to Jeremy, Corinne snatched it away from her hand.

“Are you sure you got this bracelet from Jeremy?” Corinne asked while she toyed with the bracelet.

Her act interrupted, Anya frowned subtly and answered, “Yeah, I’m sure. He asked his men to give this to me after

I’ve saved his life. I’m not surprised you didn’t know this since the two of you hadn’t met each other at the time.”

She was trying to imply that she knew Jeremy longer than Corinne had, but Corinne did not care about such trivial

matters. ‘So what if Anya knew Jeremy before me? If they were meant to be together, they would’ve married a

long time ago. But no, that didn’t happen.”

However, through Anya’s explanation, Corinne knew one thing to be certain. ‘So it wasn’t Jeremy who gave this

bracelet to Anya in person…”

Corinne took a closer look at the bracelet before handing it back to Anya. “You should keep this since he gave it to

you. Pushing it around will only make Jeremy seem ungrateful.”

Anya did not take back the bracelet. Instead, she clenched her fists tightly and forced herself to continue with her

pitiful act. “Didn’t you ask me to not bother Jeremy anymore? If that’s the case…what’s the point of keeping this

bracelet?”

Corinne smiled. “You’ve misunderstood me again, Miss Anya. You’ll forever be the person who saved Jeremy’s life,

and as such, he’d forever be indebted to you. But, you should also know he’s a married man

now, so I hope you’ll treat him as such.”
