Chapter 405

The women who were talking about her were mainly female companions whom the guys brought along,

and they included popular entertainers, certified internet celebrities, and certain prominent daughters of

smaller families.

Jason did not like hearing those comments. With a frown, he glanced unhappily at those talkative

people and then said softly to the girl opposite him, “There are a lot of people here, so why don’t you go

upstairs with me? I’ll get you a towel so you can dry your hair.”

“Sure, thanks.”

Corinne accepted his suggestion because she did not want to stand there and be subject to all those

nasty remarks. Before long, she went upstairs with him.

As they walked slowly up the stairs, Jason glanced at Corinne from the side and as she was following

him, and those enchanting eyes that were often so charming seemed to be in deep thought. “Where’s

Jeremy? Why did you come in all by yourself?”

Corinne’s expression was very calm and she replied drily,

He’s outside, probably still worried over his savior, Miss Anya.

The slight bitterness in her seemingly indifferent tone

prompted Jason to narrow his eyes and smile. “Did the two of you fight because of Anya?”

Corinne’s expression remained unchanged, and she said in a flat tone, “No. I understand why Mister

Jeremy shows concern for his savior, so there’s nothing for me to feel awkward about.

Jason was surprised to hear her reasoning, but he did not completely believe that she would be so

indifferent about it. He stared at her for a while with an inquisitive look and lamented, “Jeremy has

always been very kind to Anya, and before you showed up, I was always under the impression that the

two of them would eventually get married.”

Corinne cocked her eyebrow slightly. ‘Eventually get married? Only lovers will eventually get married,

so does that mean that Jeremy had a relationship with Anya, at least in Jason’s view?’

Jason went on to say, “I know Jeremy’s character. He’s aloof, but very upright. If Anya saved his life,

then he would most certainly repay her kindness. Truth is, the care that Jeremy showed Anya these

past few years, such as the way he protects and tolerates her, was so impeccable that even I felt

touched when I saw it.

“However, it’s not quite the ideal thing to do if I look at it

from the perspective of his wife. After all, women often find it difficult to accept when their husbands

show such care toward other women. I can understand why you’re jealous, Corinne!”

Corinne did not say anything because she could not be bothered to explain too much. ‘I’m not jealous;

I’m angry!’

She was angry with the distrustful tone in which he asked her what the situation was. The attitude he

had was a clear demonstration that he suspected Lucas’s accusations of her to be true. She thought

that Jeremy knew her well, but that

incident made her feel that he did not understand her at all, and worse still, think badly of her.

Though she despised Anya’s duplicitous nature and did not want to interact with her in any way

whatsoever, Corinne would never stoop to using such crass methods to harass Anya even if she hated

Anya to the core.

In fact, she had absolutely no interest in wasting her time and energy on someone like Anya, and it was

Anya who kept on causing trouble to her time and again. It was incredibly annoying for Corinne.

Jason led her to an unoccupied guest room and fetched a towel from the bathroom, which he handed

over to her.

“Take this and dry yourself up. This is the biggest guest room in Zeke’s villa. He doesn’t usually stay

here, but each room is cleaned often, and stuff like the sheets and towels are changed regularly too.

This towel is new, so you don’t have to worry about any hygiene issues.”

Jason made a point to explain everything carefully to her.
