Chapter 919
Jeremy’s deep voice came from behind them, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.
The Carews, Josephine, and her mother turned to look at him. All of them were shocked and awed by just how handsome he
was, especially Sherlyn. This was not the first time she met Jeremy, but her heart would race whenever she met him.
‘I was so close to marrying him! I would’ve been his wife if it weren’t for Corinne.’ The more she thought about it, the angrier she
became. However, there was nothing she could do then but to watch Jeremy gracefully sit beside Corinne. 1
Jeremy even picked up Corinne’s coffee and drank it nonchalantly. The way he behaved with Corinne was so intimate that
Sherlyn could not help but go green with envy. Even Josephine stared at Jeremy dazedly.
Out of all the young women there, only Corinne seemed to be unperturbed by Jeremy’s entrance. She simply glanced at him
before turning her attention back to Josephine and her mother.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes at the unexpected visitors. “If your only aim is to come here to slander my wife, there’s still time for
you to leave. But if you continue to keep up what you were doing... Well, don’t blame me for what I’m about to do.”
His tone was calm, yet it sounded oppressive and ominous. His words bore deep into everyone’s mind, sending chills up their
spines.
The Carews knew just how protective Jeremy was of Corinne, so they dared not speak a word. However, that did not stop
Sherlyn from staring dreamily at him.
Although Josephine’s mother was cowed by the terrifying aura Jeremy was emitting, she was not about to give up easily.
“Excuse me, but I take it your Corinne’s current husband?” she asked in mock bravado.
Jeremy glanced at her coldly. He did not like how she added the word ‘ current’ in front of ‘husband’. It was as if she was
implying Corinne had other husbands before him.
“Yes, I am. How can I help you?”
Jeremy’s aura was so oppressive that Josephine’s mother shrank back a little. “Mister Jeremy, it’s a good thing you came. I
wasn’t slandering Corinne. I only came here to seek justice for my daughter! After all, your wife is the reason my daughter lost
her chance to get into the best university in the country.”
Jeremy calmly placed his hand on Corinne’s shoulder to show everyone whose side he was on. “I heard some of what you said
just now. I don’t think it’s unreasonable for Corinne to ask you for proof, but it seems like you don’t even have that.”
Josephine’s mother started to panic under Jeremy’s crushing gaze. “As I said, the proof is Corinne’s class attendance record.
She skipped class almost every day to hang out with some thugs. She didn’t study hard at all. Was it possible for her to get into
University of New Capital City?
“Mister Jeremy, I know it might be hard for you to accept all this, but I’m only telling the truth. Corinne wasn’t a good girl in high
school, and there’s a chance she’s lying to you.”
Jeremy’s eyes darkened as he said emotionlessly, “And as I said, I know better than anyone else whether she’s a good person
or not.”
Josephine’s mother was surprised to learn just how much Jeremy trusted Corinne. However, she was not about to back down
because of that.
After thinking about it, she said, “Mister Jeremy, you must think Corinne was still pure on your first night with her, right? Well, let
me tell you something. The medical field is so technologically advanced now that some sl*ts can repair their ‘down there’ with
surgery to make their husband think they’ve been chaste all their lives.”
