Chapter 331

“Yeah! I agree with you! And I support that idea!”

“I managed to get a very clear picture earlier, so I’m going to post it online!”

“I’ll do the same too! If all of us work together, I’m confident that the scammer lady won’t be able to get away with it!”

The Mercedes–Benz slowly began to drive at a more stable speed.

Corinne sat in the car, rested for a moment, and felt much more relieved. Her stomach was not as uncomfortable as before, so she stretched out her hand and said, “Give me the phone, Mister!”

Jeremy had a sullen expression as he took out his cell phone to hand it over. Corinne was just about to take it from him when Jeremy raised his hand all of a sudden to prevent her from reaching it. He then asked coldly, “Before I give it to you, I want to know why you told me to go without you.”

Corinne frowned. “Because… Because I’m worried those people might take pictures of you!”

Jeremy’s eyes were sullen. She did not regard him as someone close to her, and she even seemed to look down on him. Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Corinne could easily tell he was unhappy, so after some thought, an idea popped up in her mind as she said, “Didn’t you mention before that you can’t let outsiders find out your weakness due to your unique status? I’m worried that those people might take pictures of us and decide to kidnap us one day. I’m thinking about my future, you know!”

Jeremy froze slightly. The gloom in his eyes dissipated to give way to some warmth. Her roundabout way of coaxing him succeeded, and she seemed aware that she was his weakness. He snorted coldly

and patted her on the head. “At least you know how to protect yourself.”

Corinne pursed her lips, stretched out her hand, and demanded, “Give me the phone.”

The man ceded to her request.

Corinne took the phone and immediately checked the day’s news. Nothing unusual turned up in the trending searches, and similar topics have been suppressed too, so it was likely that Jeremy intervened and ordered someone to remove everything. However, the video was already circulated, and it would be difficult to prevent them from spreading it via private chats. She estimated that a large chunk of people who had access to the Internet would have seen the video.

She then tried finding out where the news originated.

As it turned out, it was the influencer Xena who made a post distorting the facts and complaining about what happened that day, saying that she had been cheated of more than 150,000 dollars, forcing her to have to sell her house and her car. She even said that her mother had fallen sick because of that incident, and she felt as if life was hopeless.

Spreading rumors was easy, but refuting those rumors was an uphill task. The video had been shortened to highlight certain moments, and social media users took on a surprisingly unanimous stance in believing Xena’s nonsense.

The comment section was filled with people cursing her to a terrible death for being a scammer.

Corinne was unsure if someone had put some voodoo spell on her, but her stomach began to hurt again, and she winced as she instinctively covered her stomach.

Jeremy was sharp enough to sense that something was wrong, and he narrowed his eyes while asking in a deep voice,”What’s wrong?”

Corinne shook her head slightly. “Nothing. My stomach just feels a little uncomfortable.”

“Who told you to run around earlier? Come closer,” the man said in a soft and slightly angry tone. He then stretched out his hand, carried her, and placed her down on his lap. Then, the man covered her abdomen with his warm palms and rubbed her stomach gently.

Although his warm palm was effective in soothing her pain, she still felt awkward as she said, “Don’t do this, Mister…”

The man raised his eyebrows. “What’s wrong? Where else haven’t I touched you?”

Corinne blushed with embarrassment, turned her head to look at Tommy in the driver’s seat, and glared back at Jeremy. Mister! Don’t you have any sense of shame?”
