Chapter 520
Jeremy looked at Aaron, who was smiling enthusiastically, and then at Corinne, who was just letting Aaron put his
arm around her with eyes filled with bloodthirst. Suddenly, he smiled and said, “Very well then.”
Jeremy then walked around the coffee table to bypass Corinne and Aaron and strode out the apartment door. Once
the door closed with a loud bang, Corinne finally heaved a sigh of relief. However, at the same time, there was also
an indescribable sense of suffocation still lingering inside of her.
Corinne could not help but shudder when she recalled the cold smile Jeremy gave her before he left. Then, there
was his deep, dark eyes… They looked as though something had broken. inside of them.
‘What’s going on with him? Why did he give me such a look before he left?’ she wondered.
She was still trying to come up with the answers to her own questions when Aaron asked her curiously, “Boss, what
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwas going on just now? How does that scumbag Jeremy know where we live?”
Corinne leaned lazily against the sofa. She could finally let her guard down. Instead of answering Aaron’s question,
she asked, “Where did you go? Why didn’t you pick up my call?”
Aaron went to get the food takeout he had left on top of the closet. “I went to get supper for you. I didn’t pick up
your call because I left my phone in the car and when I called you back, you didn’t pick up either.”
At the mention of that, Corinne suddenly frowned and asked unhappily, “Aaron, why did you change your name in
my phone to ‘Hubby”?”
Aaron was confused. “What?! I didn’t do that!”
“If it wasn’t you then who else could it be?” Corinne asked with a frown.
Speak of the devil.
At that very moment, Corinne’s phone started ringing and the caller ID showed the name ‘ Hubby’ again.
Corinne looked down on the phone in her hand and then looked up at Aaron, who had not even touched his phone
since he came home moments ago.
‘It really isn’t him. Who is it then?’
She answered the phone and said tentatively, “Hello?”
Immediately, Jason’s laughter came from the other side of the phone. “Corinne, have you reached home?”
The corners of Corinne’s mouth started twitching. “So it’s you, Jason!”
She finally remembered that she gave him her phone to save his number when they bumped into each other in the
gallery in Thalassa that day. He kept on needling her to give him her number and in the end, she caved. However,
she was so busy eating that she did not think twice about giving him her phone.
After that, he never called her, so it was not until what happened in the car did she realize what he had done.
‘I can’t believe he’s shameless enough to save his own number under ‘Hubby’ in my phone!’

“You’ve really done it this time, Jason!”
“What? What did I do to make you so angry?”
“Oh, drop the act! Have you forgotten what you saved your phone number under in my phone?
Jason burst out in another round of laughter. “Oh, that! Well, I just thought I should save it under ‘Hubby’ because
you’re going to be my wife sooner or later.”
Corinne scoffed. “You’re delusional!”
“Corinne, are you free to grab a bite with me tomorrow?”
“No!”
Corinne then hung up the phone angrily. Jason had spoiled her mood, so after eating the supper Aaron brought
home, she took a quick shower and went to sleep.
She was unbelievably exhausted… Both in body and mind.
The next morning, Lucas came out of the elevator in the Rivera Group with Edmund following close behind him.
