Chapter 1344

Sophia seemed to have lost all control. “A friend? I’m a woman! I’m beautiful, and I have a good figure.

How can you treat me only as a friend? Men and women can’t be just ‘friends’!”

Jeremy became visibly impatient and covered Corinne’s ears with his hands. He then said to Sophia,

“You’re not in the right frame of mind now. Please stop yelling. You’ll make her uncomfortable.”

“All I’m asking is for you to treat me like a woman! Is that so difficult?” Sophia became even more

manic.

Jeremy finally lost his patience. “Enough! Can someone come in and escort Miss Sophia away,

please? She had a little too much to drink. Please bring her back to rest at the hotel!”

The servant who came with Jeremy’s grandparents came up and said to them, “Right this way, please!”

Sophia, naturally, refused to leave. “I didn’t have any drinks! And I’m not drunk! I won’t leave!”

The two servants glanced at Jeremy to seek further instruction. When they saw his unwavering

expression, the two of them dragged Sophia out.

Sophia warned while struggling, “You can’t do this to me, Jeremy! You’ll regret it! Mark my words!”

Jeremy remained unmoved. The surrounding environment became much quieter after Sophia had

been dragged out.

Corinne glanced at Jeremy. She narrowed her eyes and asked, “Is she really Adam’s daughter?”

“Yes,” Jeremy replied, “but there’s nothing to be concerned about.”

Corinne finally understood why Sophia was that spoiled. She turned out to be Adam’s daughter!

Adam was the boss of an international gang known as Adam Group, named after the founder. Adam

was rumored to have been born in poverty and built Adam Group from the ground up. It had

subsidiaries all over the world. Although it looked like a proper business venture on the surface, they

had a lot of morally gray industries behind the shadows. Their influence was huge and spanned all over

the globe.

‘Why did Jeremy choose someone with as complicated a background as Sophia to help deal with his

grandparents?’ Corinne was about to ask her question, but she was interrupted when Francine called

out to her.

Francine panted and said, “Sister-in-law! I… I brought your drink!” Francine was sweating profusely

after running back with the cup of bubble tea.

Corinne was about to reach out to take the drink, but Jeremy took it before she could.

He held the cup to check its temperature. After making sure that the cup was not cold, he inserted the

straw and brought it to her mouth. Corinne did not like to be fed, so she reached out to take the cup

and took a big sip from the straw.

“Take it easy,” Jeremy looked at her quietly. “No one will take it from you.”

Corinne ignored him. She felt a little tired after standing for a long while, so she walked to the police

station lobby lounge to sit and enjoy her drink.

As she held her cup and walked over, she saw Jeremy’s grandparents standing there and bowed

politely to them. “It’s been a while, Grandpa Greg and Grandma Pamela.”

Pamela looked at her well-behaved granddaughter-in-law and felt equal parts affection and distress.

“Have you been well?”

“Yes.” Corinne nodded.
