Chapter 1392

Jeremy approached Adam calmly, projecting strength while being very polite. He said, “I’m just a friend

of your daughter, so you shouldn’t call me that. Please, just call me by my name.”

Adam replied with an emotionless smile, “Why shouldn’t I? You have a marriage certificate with my

daughter. Who else are you if you’re not my son-in-law?”

Jeremy explained, “Sophia and I obtained the marriage certificate to convince my grandfather to

undergo surgery. This was the agreement your daughter and I made. The agreement clearly stated that

the marriage certificate was solely for that purpose. It has no other significance. Once that situation is

resolved, both parties can agree on a date to annul the certificate.”

Having said that, Jeremy nodded to Tommy, signaling for him to present the agreement to Adam.

Adam glanced at the agreement with a menacing expression but did not reach out to take it.

Jeremy continued, “If you’re dissatisfied with this agreement, feel free to raise your terms. I’ll do my

best to compensate Sophia reasonably.”

Tommy extended the agreement to Adam again, saying, “Please have a look, Mister Adam.”

Adam tore up the agreement without even reading it. He sneered, “Do you think my daughter wants

your compensation?”

Jeremy remained unruffled by Adam’s reaction. He maintained his composure and asked, “Then what

do you propose? I’m all ears.”

Adam’s expression turned even more sullen as he sneered wickedly. “Do you think you can provide

any sort of compensation for my daughter? She has everything she wants. Sophia is my everything, yet

she was deceived by a sc*mbag into getting a marriage certificate for no good reason. Now that you’ve

gotten what you want, you have no qualms about abandoning her. Do you think you can just use her

and dump her whenever you like? I want you to take responsibility for my daughter!”

Jeremy’s expression remained calm as he corrected, “I’ve never misled Sophia. She was fully aware of

the reasons and intentions behind obtaining the certificate, and she willingly offered her help. I

genuinely appreciate her assistance, and I’m willing to compensate her as much as I can, but I must

apologize because I cannot take responsibility for her. I have a family now and with a child on the way

too. My obligations lie solely toward my wife and children.”

Adam stared at him and retorted sarcastically, “You want to take responsibility for that bratty Corinne at

the expense of my daughter? To think that a young woman like Sophia would have to face divorce

because of you! Sophia might be able to find someone she loves in the future and get married to him,

but that will be considered her second marriage! You’ve caused her immense physical and emotional

distress, not to mention a tremendous amount of damage to her reputation. Do you think I’ll let you do

as you please and be with Corinne?”

There was anger in Adam’s eyes when he mentioned Corinne’s name.

Jeremy’s expression sank, but he responded calmly, “Mister Adam, I’d like to inform you that I did my

research before asking Sophia for help in obtaining the certificate. There is significant flexibility in terms

of having the marriage annulled. What I’m seeking right now is an annulment, not a divorce. An

annulment erases all traces from Sophia’s records, indicating that there was never a substantive

relationship between us to begin with. I am nevertheless still willing to compensate her and express my

gratitude for her assistance.”

Adam sneered. “Easy for you to say!”
