Chapter 289

“Corinne, I really wanted to be your friend. I even brought some homemade soup to share with you, so

why did you want to hurt me like that? What did I ever do to you that you wish to hurt me so badly?”

“You didn’t do anything to me. You’ve only been back for two days, so there was no way you could’ve

done anything to me,” said Corinne calmly and with a smirk on her face. She wondered if Anya would

be able to read between the lines.

Anya returned home two days ago, while Corinne had been hospitalized since yesterday morning due

to her suffering from a severe allergic reaction. All throughout her stay, Annie and Jeremy had been by

her side, so there was no time for her to hatch some devious plan even if she wanted to hurt Anya.

Besides, there was also the fact that no one even knew when Anya would return until yesterday. The

plan would not have worked unless Corinne had the psychic ability to predict the future. More

importantly, Corinne did not even know who Anya was until yesterday. They never had any contact with

each other, so how could she do anything to her?

From the police officers‘ conjecture, Corinne might seem like the biggest suspect but not when the

timeline was factored in. Anyone who had a brain would rightfully conclude that

someone had set Corinne up and that she had no involvement in the crime at all.

Then came the question of who the real culprit was. Corinne, not surprisingly, knew the answer to this.

‘Seems like Anya didn’t come here to bring me soup at all. No, her real motive is annoyed he got.

However, it was not like he could do anything because he knew Corinne would be unhappy with him if

he

forcefully pushed his way in.

Anya remained standing where she was, next to Jeremy. He was wearing an expression that she had

never seen him wear before. It was one of lovesickness and helplessness. Silently, she waited with him

for the interrogation to finish.

“Jeremy… If, and I’m saying if, Corinne was the one who hired someone to hurt me, would you ever…

divorce her?” probed Anya carefully and suddenly.

Jeremy’s eyes froze over, and without even giving it a thought, he simply said, “No.”

Immediately, Anya’s eyes became wet with tears. “Why? She should be punished for doing something

so heinous…”
