Chapter 416
Corinne opened the door and saw Sunny and Anya standing behind one another outside the threshold.
‘Oh my god, they’re so annoying,’ thought Corinne. She did not have the mood to deal with both of them so she raised her
eyebrow and coldly spat out one word, “Yes?”
Anya looked at Corinne first and then she took a glance inside the room before softly saying, “Corinne, I’m sorry... After thinking
about it, I have to admit that I’ve misunderstood you earlier. I knelt down on the ground because I thought you wanted me to do
that and... I know you didn’t mean to kick me.
“You must’ve accidentally brushed against me when you were walking...So I’m really, really sorry for making Lucas think you
were bullying me and for getting you pushed into the pond. Can you please forgive me, Corinne?”
Corinne narrowed her eyes and thought, ‘Here she is with her pitiful act again.’
Then she smirked and said out loud, “Miss Anya, there’s no need for you to put on this act because I can assure you Jeremy is
not inside the room right now.”
Anya was stunned. She did not really believe her so she scanned the room again. ‘Is he really not here?’
Corinne was right. Anya was indeed putting up an act for Jeremy. She would not have apologized to Corinne if he was not there.
There was no point for her to do that since her relationship with Corinne had become unsalvageable.
However, Sunny was there with them so Anya still had to somewhat keep up the pretense.
“Corinne, I’m not the hypocrite you think I am. I truly came to apologize to you with all my heart. I’m really, really sorry so please
forgive me.”
Judging from the indifferent expression on Corinne’s face, she was not moved by Anya’s plea as she knew what kind of
person she really was.
Anya might have looked like she was being sincere but Corinne knew that what she was doing was just a form of emotional
blackmail. After all, it would make Corinne seem like she was a heartless b*tch who liked to prey on the weak if she did not
forgive Anya, who had apologized to her sincerely again and again.
In most cases like that, those in Corinne’s situation would choose to forgive Anya to avoid being labeled negatively by other
people. However, Anya had chosen the wrong person to mess with since Corinne did not care what others think of her.
Corinne would never cave under the pressure of having to forgive her.
Corinne smiled and said, “Save it, Miss Anya. Don’t waste your Oscar-worthy acting skills on me. I’ll never fall for your act nor do
I want any drama in my life.”
Anya put on a hurt look as if she had been wrongfully accused by Corinne. “I’m not acting... Why do you keep insisting that I
am? Do you really hate me that much?”
‘Hate? More like disgusted by you,’ thought Corinne.
She yawned, not wanting to waste her time on Anya anymore.
‘Anything I say now will just come back to bite me later, so I might as well keep my mouth shut.’
Corinne was about to close the door so that she could return to some peace and quiet when Sunny suddenly walked up to her
with a plate of chicken wings in his hand. His handsome face was full of youthful spirit when he asked, “Corinne, what
happened in the gazebo earlier? Lucas said that you forced Anya to kneel down in front of you and that you even kicked her! Is
that true?”
‘Tsk! What’s up with this brother and sister duo? Why won’t they just leave me alone?’ thought Corinne with a frown.
She was so annoyed at how they just would not let her be. She covered her mouth and yawned again.
Then, she said impatiently, “Your sister suddenly knelt down in front of me and fell on her own accord. That’s all that happened.
Nothing more and nothing less.”
Corinne gave the short version of the story because she felt like it would be pointless to explain too much. Those who
believed her would believe her anyhow, and those who did not, well, they would never change their minds no matter what she
said.
“Oh, so that’s what happened!” Sunny nodded, believing her right off the bat. He then turned to face Anya and said.
