Chapter 516

Corinne’s phone rang just when Jeremy was in mid-sentence. She carried her phone in her hand since

her gown had no pockets. She raised up her hand and saw the caller ID to be ‘Hubby

‘Should I answer it? Wait a minute… Hubby?!’

She was visibly confused. ‘When did I save my husband’s number? No, the question should be, when

did I ever get myself a husband?’

“Is this why you ran away from home a month ago?” Jeremy asked sullenly.

The question pulled Corinne out of her thoughts. She looked up and saw Jeremy was looking down

condescendingly at her phone screen. His eyes were tinged with a kind of suppressed anger that

looked as if he was about to kill someone.

Corinne had never seen that kind of expression on his face before so she was understandably

shocked.

Jeremy smiled bloodthirstily and said sarcastically, “I have it to hand it to you, Miss Carew. You’ve

managed to snag a new husband in just one short month!”

Corinne was speechless. She was still reeling from the shock of it all.

“Well, aren’t you going to pick up the call?” Jeremy asked coldly.

Instead of picking up the phone, Corinne hung up the phone. The only plausible explanation she could

think of was that Aaron was pulling a prank on her. He must have saved his own number under ‘Hubby’

without her knowledge and called her then.

She did not want Jeremy to find out about her connection with Newmoon Group. That was why she did

not pick up the phone.

‘I can’t let Jeremy hear Aaron’s voice.’

Jeremy scoffed. “Why didn’t you pick up the phone? Are you afraid that your new husband will find out

that you’re currently with your ex-husband?”

‘Ex-husband?’

Corinne thought it was weird that Jeremy would refer to himself as her ex-husband.

His mocking tone made her very uncomfortable, and after thinking about it, she felt she did not owe him

an explanation which was just as well since she was not in the mood to do that either.

“I’m not going to pick up his call because we had a fight! I’m not ready to forgive him just yet, “said

Corinne angrily.

Jeremy was stunned, but he became even more sullen the next second. If Corinne had acted all lovey-

dovey with the new husband, Jeremy would have thought she was putting on a show, that the husband

was a fake, and that it was all a ruse to make him forget about her.

However, the fact that they had a fight… Well, only people who were close to each other and shared

their lives together would do that, right? Therefore, that meant she really got herself a new husband.

Jeremy’s face immediately turned into ice as did his tone. “Who is he? When did this happen?”

Corinne cleared her throat awkwardly and answered, “Mister Jeremy, who my husband is has nothing

to do with you. Also, you can be rest assured that I didn’t cheat on you or did anything I would be sorry

about behind your back during the three months we were together. The reason I left was because our

agreement came to its end. I don’t owe you one second more or one second less after the three

months are up.”

Jeremy’s jaw was tense with anger. He looked coldly at her and said, “You think you have it all figured

out now, don’t you.”

Corinne felt a little guilty at lying to him, but at the same time she could not help but use that

opportunity to take revenge on him since she could still recall the hurt she felt after finding out he had

lied to her too.

She lifted her chin proudly and said, “Why, yes I do. I’m glad you think that way of me.”

They had finally exited the highway and Corinne was relieved that the horrible journey had come to an

end.

“Thank you. Please stop the car and I’ll take the taxi home from here,” said Corinne.

However, the driver did not stop the car. Tommy pretended to not have heard her too. There was no

way they would stop the car without Jeremy’s orders.

Corinne realized that so she turned to him and said, “Mister Jeremy, might I trouble you to ask the

driver to stop the car?”

Jeremy did not even spare her a glance. Instead, he only spat out two words.

“Your address.”

Corinne was stunned. ‘He’s asking me for my address?’
