Corinne had to pass by Jeremy to reach that man. Though she did not look at Jeremy, she could still feel his gaze.She walked over without paying attention to him, but someone stuck out his foot from nowhere and tripped her!In that split second, Corinne lost her footing and fell on Jeremy's muscular chest.The rowdy onlookers fell silent for an instant, and the atmosphere turned deathly quiet.Zeke wanted to stir things up a little, so he blew a whistle that broke the silence.Everyone started to whisper to each other."Bold of her to choose Mister Jeremy!""Isn't she aware of who he is? How dare she touch him!""She seems to have done it on purpose!""Isn't it obvious? Which woman in New Capital City wouldn't want to get close to Mister Jeremy?""I bet Mister Jeremy will shove her away. He's not the kind who'll let any random woman cop a feel of him."When Corinne looked up, her black eyelashes fluttered, and she had a helpless look of embarrassment in her eyes. "Mister...
The man forgot all about it until Annie brought that up again, and he immediately called his companion to come over and return the phone to her.After taking back her phone, Annie glared at them unhappily. "Told you that Jeremy is my uncle. Do you believe me now?""Yes, yes we do! Sorry for being so ignorant! It was our mistake!""We swear, we didn't know she was your niece, Mister Jeremy!""I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"No one would have thought that the pink-haired woman who snuck in was Jeremy's niece. They suspected her to be some random girl who was trying to get close to Jeremy.They were lucky not to have anything disastrous happen to them after their antics!The three playboys gathered in front of Annie and bowed deeply to her and Corinne to apologize. "We're sorry! Can we please implore your good grace not to hold a grudge against us?"Annie rolled her eyes at them, pointed at the door of the Snow Room, and said, "Scram. Don't ever let me see you again."The three men
Jeremy said without the slightest change in expression, "It wasn't necessary at first, but I can't let any man get close to my wife during the duration of our marriage. Walking past me to kiss another man is something that must never happen again."Corinne rolled her eyes, turned her head to look at the street view outside the car window, and snorted sarcastically. "That's rich coming from someone who didn't even lead by example. Didn't you go on a date with another woman in public?"Jeremy narrowed his eyes at her. "Are you jealous?"Corinne was baffled by that remark, and her lips began to twitch. "Me? Jealous? We're not even a real couple. I'm only angry because you kissed me so forcefully without warning and even made me suffocate!"Jeremy cocked his eyebrow slightly. "If I remember correctly, you didn't give me a warning either when you kissed me the other day."Corinne was at a loss for words and her brows had furrowed into a deep frown. "Ahem! How is that the same? Mine was
[Road to Success: (disappointed emoji) Nothing. I'm in a bad mood today, so I wanted to talk to my master.]Corinne replied, [What happened?][Road to Success: (angry emoji) I saw my sister's love rival in Snow Room today, so I wanted to help her vent her anger. I tried to make that woman trip so she'd fall face-first into the ground in front of everyone, but that damn woman deliberately fell on the man that my sister liked and even took advantage of the moment to kiss him on the lips. I'm furious!]Corinne stared lost in thought at the computer screen. The world was such a small place, and he turned out to be the one who tripped her!Zeke and the curly-haired woman were not the only ones with Jeremy at that time. She faintly remembered another handsome young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes who was about 17 or 18 years old. That must have been 'Road to Success'![Do you think there's a possibility she fell that way because of the angle you tripped her? It's not like she can c
Corinne stepped over the broken glass shards on the ground and walked up to Marvin. "What's wrong, Dad? Why are you so angry?"Sherlyn folded her arms as she stood at one side and viciously added fuel to fire. "You have the nerve to ask that? You should be well aware of what you've done."Corinne glanced insipidly at Sherlyn. "I've done a lot of good deeds. Which one are you referring to?"Marvin had a sour expression as he asked angrily, "You said you moved out because you got a job. What kind of job are you doing?"Corinne was at a loss for words because she did not know what was the best way to describe the work she was doing. She wondered what would be the best occupation to describe 'pretending to be the wife of a domineering man to help him appease his elders', and whether 'actress' or 'temporary wife' would be a better job description.When Marvin saw that Corinne was having difficulty answering him, he became even angrier and said, "Are you going to continue hiding it from
Marvin was a little more inclined toward believing Corinne and thus asked her again, "Do you swear you're telling the truth? You're not lying to me, are you?"Corinne kept her calm and assured him, "Don't worry, Dad. I'll never do that sort of scandalous thing."Marvin breathed a sigh of relief. "You don't know how relieved I am! Don't you ever end up doing bad stuff, okay? I'd be such a disappointment to your late mother if you did!"Sherlyn was furious to see Marvin's sudden change of attitude toward Corinne, and she tried to complain again, "Dad, even if Corinne isn't a bar hostess, her actual job isn't much better either! I didn't want to tell you this because I'm worried that you'd get angry if you find out, but since it's clear that Corinne shows no intention of learning from her mistakes, I think it's only right for me to say something as her sister! Here goes… The truth is, Corinne's working as a maid for a rich family! The landlord she mentioned is actually her employer!"
Sherlyn was dumbfounded. 'What trending searches? How am I trending when I didn't even receive any jobs recently? And I'm on top of that list?'She never made it to the top of the trending list even when she had a wardrobe malfunction before!'What's going on?!' A bad feeling rose in Sherlyn's heart, and she quickly took out her phone to check what happened. Sure enough, her name soared to the very top of the searches, and the accompanying caption was 'Exposed: the man backing actress Sherlyn Carew!'Sherlyn's hands trembled uncontrollably as she clicked on the headline. The entry showed a video of several big shots from the entertainment circle at a certain dinner party, and there was even a GIF of her sitting in a bald man's lap!'How did these shady pictures go viral? Who did this? Who's launching a smear campaign against me?'Being on the trending search meant that everyone around the world could see his daughter's scandalous behavior. Marvin felt utterly humiliated by her and
Lilliana comforted her daughter Sherlyn. "Don't worry, Sherlyn. I'll find a way to clear your name! Don't cry..."Corinne stood relaxedly to one side with a mocking smirk, and she even chuckled a little at the sight of Lilliana and Sherlyn in shambles.Sherlyn ceased crying the second she heard that little chuckle from Corinne. A frown appeared on her face, and she glared at Corinne while pointing resentfully at her. "It was you! You did this to me, Corinne!"Corinne cocked an eyebrow and spread her hands innocently. "How can a small-time maid like me be capable of doing that to you? It's expensive to pay for a headline slot in the news, and I can't afford to do that at all."Indeed, money was not involved, only certain tech-savvy skills.Sherlyn nonetheless stared unhappily at her. "Even if you didn't pay for the news to be in the headlines, you came here to add fuel to the fire in front of Dad. He wouldn't have known about the news if you weren't here!"Corinne frowned. "Weren'
