Chapter 531

It had not been a few days since the last similar incident happened and now Corinne had to go through

it again? She looked contemptuously at Anya, hating her with every fiber of her being.

“There’s no limit to how shameless this woman can be! How can she still think of herself when

her child is hurt!’

Although she did not like Anya, it did not mean she would pass on that hate to her innocent child. “That

poor kid must be in a lot of pain/ He probably doesn’t understand why it’s hurting

so much either.’

Instead of calling out on Anya’s lies, Corinne quickly called for an ambulance. After giving the operator

the address, she hung up the phone, and only then did she say, “The waiter was the one who

accidentally tripped, causing the soup to splash all over your kid. I tried to catch the bowl but I was too

late. After that, the waiter legged out of the room ’cause he was afraid of what was going to happen to

him.”

Anya looked at her in disbelief. “Corinne, how can you lie like that? I saw with my own eyes you

snatched the bowl from the waiter’s hand and threw it across the room at Joey. That waiter being

falsely accused by you! You’ve crossed the line this time!”

Corinne was getting more and more annoyed at Anya’s hypocrisy so she coldly said, “Miss Anya, why

don’t you tend to Joey first? He’s crying out in pain, for god’s sake.”

Anya’s face stiffened before breaking out in another uncontrollable sob. “Are you accusing me of not

caring about my son? How can you stand there and pretend to be worried about him when you were

the one who caused him to be like this? Is this how you repay my kindness for inviting you to lunch? I

can’t believe I used to think you were a nice person.”

Corinne was tired of Anya’s acting so she simply ignored her.

Seeing that Corinne was not going to pay her any more attention, Anya tugged at Jeremy’s sleeves

and said, “Jeremy, what should we do about Joey? Oh, my poor child!”

Jeremy calmly checked to see if Joey was hurt anywhere else and was relieved to discover that he was

not. After that, he scooped him up and said to Anya, “Don’t panic. Let’s bring him to the hospital first.”

Anya nodded tearfully and said between hiccups, “Okay. Let’s go to the hospital.”

Corinne blocked Jeremy from leaving and said, “I’ve already called the ambulance and they’ll be here

soon. It’ll be faster for you to wait here than to drive to the hospital yourself.”

Jeremy simply ignored her and walked past her quickly with Joey in his arms. Anya followed behind but

she did not forget to throw Corinne a victorious smile before turning her nose up

in the air.

A chill ran up Corinne’s spine. ‘How can she still smile like that when her kid is hurt?’

who was taking a call outside.

At that moment, Jason

was on his way back to the room and he saw Jeremy and the crying Joey in his arms leaving hurriedly

with Anya behind them.

Bewildered, he immediately asked Corinne what happened when he got back into the room.

“Their kid was badly burned by some hot soup.”

Jason was shocked. “How did that happen?”

A corner of Corinne’s lips went up. “Would you believe me if I said I was the one who did it?”

“Of course not!” Jason answered without hesitation. He then looked her up and down with worry in his

eyes. “What about you? Did you get burned anywhere?”

Some of the soup indeed splashed onto her hand when she reached out her hand to catch the bowl.

She could still feel the burning pain spreading across her palm.

However, she did not want to make a big deal out of it so she shook her head and said, I’m fine.”

“No. "

Jason was relieved to hear that. “That’s good. We should go to the hospital to make sure Joey is okay.”

Corinne agreed so she nodded and said, “Yes, let’s go.”

She pitied the poor child. With a mother like Anya, Corinne would not be surprised if Joey grew up to

have traumatic memories of his childhood.
