Chapter 371
Corinne was at a loss for words. ‘What did I do? I didn’t provoke anyone! Why am I needlessly attacked here?!‘
“Don’t point at her,” a deep, booming voice sounded from not far away. Though the voice was loud, the tone sounded almost
deafening to anyone who heard it. Everyone felt a chill down their spine as they looked over in the direction of the voice.
Standing in the distance was a tall, handsome man. His neat and handsome hair highlighted his beautiful facial features, which
looked good from every single angle. His entire person was reminiscent of a walking sculpture, and he carried an aura of
prestige despite his expressionless face.
Jeremy walked over calmly and exuded a daunting aura from his body.
Lucas narrowed his eyes and shot a hostile glance at the man.
Sunny was stunned, and he wondered why Jeremy would be there..
Meanwhile, the rest of the people felt oppressed by the increasingly tense atmosphere and did not dare not speak out as they
looked anxiously at the exchange between the two men.
Corinne raised her eyebrows and was surprised that he showed up there. In the absence of those. whom she was close with,
she was very amiable toward his gesture of showing up there and instinctively leaned over to look up at the man who was much
taller than her. “Why are you here?”
Jeremy lowered his eyes, and his cold gaze softened a little as he looked at her. “It’s raining, so I came to bring you an
umbrella.”
Tommy, who had followed him from behind, was holding a black umbrella.
‘Is it raining outside?’ Corinne wanted to look out the window, but since there were no windows. around, she could not see what
was going on outside the mall and if it was raining.
The man’s big rough palms held her little head, lifted it at a 45–degree angle, and fondly stroked her little face with his long
fingers. “Are you done enjoying yourself the entire afternoon?”
‘Enjoying myself? I just got scolded!‘
Corinne yawned lazily. “I’m tired. I want to go home.”
The man pretended to be unhappy and frowned. “I didn’t think you’d get tired. Do you prefer being lashed out at by someone
else instead of spending time with me? Couldn’t you have called me if you were bullied outside?”
She was speechless to hear that sort of tone from him, but it sounded overly doting as if he genuinely regarded her as an
elementary school student.
Corinne pursed her lips and said, “Aren’t you here now even when I didn’t call you?”
“You wouldn’t think to call me at all if I didn’t show up here!” Jeremy rubbed her head and spoke. reproachfully in a mature voice.
Corinne was speechless. ‘I can’t stand his sappiness!‘
Jeremy did not tease her anymore, pulled Corinne gently to his side, and protected her under his arms. Since Lucas had spoken
rudely to his woman earlier, he looked up at the man and stood up for Corinne. “I hope the Riveras will do better than to become
the very definition of the word‘ ungrateful‘. How dare you point your finger at the girl who once helped your old man?”
Lucas glanced at Jeremy, and his irritated expression finally returned to normal as a calm yet elegant smile unfurled across his
face. “The same can be said for you in terms of ungratefulness, Jeremy. My sister Anya saved your life too, so given that you’re
being so intimate with another woman in front of me, I can’t help but wonder if Anya still has a place in your heart. Have you
forgotten what my sister had to sacrifice to save you?”
