Chapter 403

Chapter 403

Corinne looked at Anya in confoundment as the latter lay on the ground and put on a dramatic act.

At that moment, Lucas-the figure who had just walked out of the villa-rushed over and pushed Corinne away from Anya. She asked coldly, “Go away! What are you trying to do to Anya?

Then, without waiting for Corinne to offer an explanation, he bent down in distress and helped Anya up from the ground. Are you okay?”

A man’s strength would always be greater than that of a girl, so regardless of how stable Corinne’s center of gravity was, she nearly fell over after being pushed by Lucas. She staggered a step back and tried to stand firm again, but she unfortunately slipped on the cobblestone path that was made for the villa and failed to steady herself as she fell into the small fish pond next to her.

The water in the fish pond was not that deep, but because the villa was facing the mountain and thus had low night temperatures, anyone who fell into the water suddenly would be able to feel the biting cold. She propped her body up and poked her head out of the pool, looking like a drowning rat.

Just as she was about to get up, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside the fish pond and jumped down before wading through the water to reach her as soon as possible. The person stretched out his long arms and then carried her up completely. It was none other than Jeremy.

Corinne shivered. “It’s…s-s-so…c-c-c-c-cold…”

Jeremy took off the jacket he was wearing, wrapped her wet little body tightly, then lifted her in a bridal carry, and brought her out of the pond. “You’re all right now. You won’t feel cold anymore if you go back in and change your clothes”

On the edge of the pond, Lucas glanced at the dripping -wet Corinne in Jeremy’s arms, noticing that he had a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He stepped forward and stood in front of Jeremy, saying, “Before you leave, I just want you to know Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ FɪndNøvel.ɴᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

that I merely pushed her away to prevent her from hurting Anya. I didn’t think she’d make the most of the situation and fall in the water too!”

Corinne frowned because Lucas was trying to suggest that she threw herself into the water on purpose to try and draw

sympathy from others. ‘Your sister is the one who loves pretending. As expected, you only see what you want to see because she’s your sister!’

Jeremy looked coldly at Lucas and narrowed his eyes in displeasure. “That’s not a good enough reason to use brute force on a girl!”

Lucas was in no hurry to argue with Jeremy and merely said, Did you know that your woman forced Anya to kneel just to kick her? If I hadn’t come over and stopped her, she might have stomped on Anya’s face too!”

Jeremy hesitated slightly, looked at the pale Anya, and asked with a frown, “Are you feeling all right? Were you hurt?”

Anya leaned against her brother and trembled in shock as she shook her head. “I’m fine, Jeremy. Please don’t blame

Corinne. It was my fault. Corinne only did that because she

was angry…

Jeremy lowered his eyebrows and looked down at the wet girl in his arms. He then asked her in a deep voice, “What’s going on?”

Corinne was stunned by his reaction and calmly broke free from his embrace. “There aren’t any surveillance cameras here, and nothing I say will carry any weight, but I won’t let anyone frame me for something that I didn’t do. If you don’t believe me either, then go ahead and make a police report so they can arrest me again!”

After saying that, she stormed off in the direction of the villa and wanted to warm herself up as soon as possible. She would get sick if she fell into the water and was blown by the cold night wind, and risking her health for the sake of putting on a show was something she would never be willing to do.

If Jeremy did not believe her, then so be it. She did not see any reason for her to argue with him about it!
