Chapter 515

Corinne did not care why he was doing this. It could be his desire to control her or it could be he was

looking for some excitement. It did not matter having it all pointed to him not having no respect for her,

which was what she hated the most.

‘He’s so self-centered and overbearing! He thinks he only needs to crook his finger, and any woman

will come running to be his mistress just because he’s rich and powerful. Why, he’s as delusional as

ever!’ thought Corinne.

Thinking about all of that infuriated Corinne. She vehemently pushed away Jeremy’s hand and

shouted, “That’s right! I only want Mister Lucas’ money and not yours, because your money is dirty! I

don’t want dirty money!”

‘My money is dirty?’

Jeremy’s face darkened. He looked at her glumly, trying to suppress his anger. He was so used to

being in the driver’s seat in everything, so it was inevitable he would get angry when he met a woman

who would not submit to him. All of his efforts of talking himself out of his anger were gone in a second.

Looking at that face which he both hated and loved, he grabbed her throat and said, “Corinne Carew, I

must’ve been too kind to you since you seem to think I have no temper whatsoever and that I won’t do

anything to you.”

Corinne tried to push the tightening hand away from her neck but alas, she could not, not matter how

hard she tried. Her face gradually turned red as she started coughing.

“Jeremy… Holden… you…”

‘Has he gone insane? Is he trying to kill me?’ thought Corinne.

She was right in the sense that Jeremy really was trying to kill her so that she would not exist. to

frustrate him so much anymore.

However, that feeling did not last long. He finally loosened his grip when he saw her gasping for air.

“Corinne, were all the things I said to you a joke to you?”

Corinne looked at him with trembling eyes. If anything, she thought she was the joke. How could she

have believed all the things he said to be true?

She thought he was being sincere with her. She even believed she was the only woman he had ever

loved and yet, he secretly had a kid with another woman. How foolish of her…

Jeremy’s phone suddenly buzzed, effectively breaking the impasse they were in.

Jeremy glanced at the caller ID and after thinking about it for a few seconds, he finally let go of

Corinne and answered the call.

“What’s the matter?” he asked.

It was too quiet inside the car to the extent that Corinne could hear Anya’s speaking from the other end

of the phone even without the use of a speaker.

“Jeremy, where are you? Joey has been throwing a tantrum and crying for you ever since you left.”

“Why don’t you put him to bed first?” Jeremy asked with a frown.

Anya replied helplessly, “But-”

However, Jeremy did not wait for her to finish talking and simply hung up the phone. He then

impatiently threw his phone to the side. It was obvious he was annoyed at the interruption.

Seeing him acting so patronizing toward Anya made Corinne lose even more respect for him.

‘All men are the same. They only like what’s new and will cast the old aside as soon as the opportunity

presents itself.”

“Mister Jeremy, I don’t think it’s very nice of you to hang up on Miss Anya like that. She and the baby

sounded like they really needed you.”

Jeremy looked at her coldly. “You can spare your lecture.”

Corinne chuckled wryly. “Oh, I wouldn’t dare to do that since I have no right to interfere in your affairs.

It’s just that it’ll be hard for me to face anyone should any misunderstanding

arise from me sitting in your car right now.”

Jeremy stubbed out the cigarette in his hand and narrowed his eyes at her. “And what

misunderstanding would that be?”

Corinne’s mouth twitched a little before she answered, “I’m worried that other people will say that I

seduced a married man, or that I wouldn’t let you pick up Miss Anya’s call or go home to your wife and

kid.”

Jeremy frowned and stared right into her eyes. “Miss Carew, it seems like you’re the one who has

misunderstood ’cause that kid isn’t…”
