Chapter 314

Corinne turned around and understood what Jeremy meant when she saw that he was looking in the direction that

Gabriel’s car left.

“Oh, he used to be my senior in my alma mater’s law department. He’s a very friendly guy, and it’s all thanks to him that I got out of this mess.”

“Friendly?” Jeremy stubbed the half–smoked cigarette and stared at her with his bottomless eyes. “Your senior is well- known throughout the entire city as the most difficult lawyer to hire, yet he was willing to help his former university junior. He must have an exceedingly good relationship with you.” He was clearly questioning her.

Corinne did not want to explain to him because she did not want to reveal her identity, and she could not think of any reasonable explanation at that moment.

If she said too much, she might accidentally let something slip, so she chose to remain silent.

Then, Annie popped out of nowhere with a small bucket. She dipped a big sprig of sage leaves in the bucket of water and flung the water at Corinne. “Congratulations on being exonerated!”

Before Corinne could react, her face was splashed with water, and she coughed twice after choking on it.

Jeremy frowned after seeing Annie’s antics, and he pulled her into his arms to wrap her in a coat. He then stared at Annie coldly. “What are you doing?”

began giggling again.

As unhappy as Jeremy was with her, he still allowed her to do as she pleased.

Annie was dumbfounded, and she looked at Corinne in

surprise. “What are you laughing at?”

“You, of course! You’re cute!” Corinne broke free from his arms while she laughed. She then walked up to Annie, patted her shoulders with both hands and said to her, “Thanks, Annie! I do need to get rid of my bad luck. Things haven’t been going well recently, especially since you provoked your uncle!”

Annie had a smug expression immediately after hearing what Corinne said. “Hear that, Uncle? She thinks you’re the unlucky one!”

Jeremy was speechless.

The two girls then got together and whispered with each other while laughing from time to time.

Jeremy ended up being completely ignored, and he had a cold expression as he stared at the heartless little Corinne. He

adjusted the clothes that she had deliberately wrinkled up, massaged his brows helplessly, and moved a few steps to the side to light another cigarette.

“Are you here to pick Corinne up?” Anya came over and asked in a tender voice. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the Find_Nøvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

She had pestered her brother to ask about the situation with Rosie and was thus held up until then. As soon as she came out of the police station, she immediately left her brother and ran over to Jeremy when she saw Jeremy standing at the gate.

The smile on Annie’s face disappeared instantly when she saw Anya’s presence. She snorted and then muttered angrily, “The unluckiest person is here again!”

Corinne looked at Anya indifferently, looked at the gentle expression on Jeremy’s face, and glanced away mindlessly. She happened to see Lucas standing helplessly beside his luxury car not far away, and he was waiting for his sister to go back home.

Anya’s fate was pretty good considering how she had an elder brother who loved her unconditionally and spoiled her since she was a child. There was nothing for her to fear, and she only had to hide behind him if something bad happened.
