Chapter 800
“I’m a guest,” Corinne replied.
Anya had a slight look of disgust as she said, “A guest? Who’d invite you as a guest to my house?”
Corinne smiled. “Grandpa Cedric and Grandma Beatrice invited me here. It’d be rude to refuse, so here I am.”
‘What?! Anya asked in shock, “My grandparents invited you here? Were you the one who saved my grandpa’s life?”
Corinne said flatly, “I wouldn’t call myself a savior, but I am the guest that they invited to your home.”
Anya could not accept that the guest she had dressed up so grandly for was Corinne-the person she hated most!
‘How did Corinne become Grandpa’s savior? It couldn’t have been such a coincidence!’ Anya thought for a moment, looked
skeptically at Corinne, and speculated, “Was this your plan all along? Did you set my grandfather up and pretend to save him just
so you could get close to him?”
“You’re thinking too much, Miss Anya. I have no reason to get close to your grandfather, and I don’t have the time to hatch a plot
against an old man.”
Anya frowned and stared gloomily at Corinne. She then continued walking down the stairs and stood a few steps above Corinne.
Anya wanted to use her height to glare condescendingly at Corinne from above and suppress the latter’s calmness.
Corinne laughed. “What’s wrong? Are you going to roll down the stairs and blame it on me, will you slap yourself a couple of
times and say that I was the culprit? Perhaps you have another new move up your sleeve?”
Anya gritted her teeth and glared even more resentfully at Corinne.
or
However, she thought of what her mother had said to her just a while ago and calmed herself. She bowed at Corinne and said, “I
only did those things to you because I was blinded by love. I know my mistakes now, and I want to formally apologize to you for
all those bad things that I’ve done. I’m sorry, Corinne!”
Her apology came as something of a shock for Corinne, who looked around to check if anyone was nearby. Surprisingly, no one
was around, which made Corinne wonder just who Anya was acting for.
Anya sighed and said with a relieved expression, “I now understand that you’re the only woman in Jeremy’s heart right now, and
that nothing I do will be able to put myself into his heart again. I’ve made up my mind that I won’t bother you and Jeremy
anymore. I’ll give up on chasing after Jeremy, and I hope you and I won’t have any grudges between us because of a man. Let’s
start over!!
Corinne narrowed her eyes. ‘Is Anya planning to pull some new trick on me, or has she finally come to terms with reality and
decided to let go of Jeremy?’
Without waiting for Corinne to answer, Anya jumped to Corinne’s side and took her arm
affectionately. “I’ll take your silence to mean that you’ve forgiven me! I made false
accusations against you when you came to my house the other day, so I want to make up for my mistakes and show you around
our house!”
Corinne removed her arm calmly from Anya’s grip and distanced herself from Anya. “No thanks. I have something else to do
right now.”
She had always disliked physical contact with other people, and her dislike became much stronger when it came to Anya, whom
she had a bad impression of.
Anya was aggrieved, and her eyes turned red. “Are you still that reluctant to forgive me? I swear to you! I genuinely wish to
change my relationship with you and become your friend instead of being your enemy. I want to give you a tour of my house! You
might think it’s pointless, but our house is centuries-old and has history, so it’s worth seeing every room.” ‘Every room? Does that
include the room where my mother used to live?’ Corinne could not help but become a little interested when she heard that, and
she did not want to miss that opportunity regardless of what Anya’s intentions were.
