Chapter 557

Jeremy looked down at her, staring coldly. “I asked you to leave when we were at the hospital, but you

didn’t. I asked you to get into my car at the entrance of the restaurant, but you refused. I saved you, yet

you repaid my kindness by being ungrateful and trying to hit me? I think you might only learn to be

careful if you were killed by those people just now!”

“Who says I was being ungrateful? I didn’t know it was you who came just now!” Corrine frowned as

she suddenly realized something was wrong. “Hold on. What do you mean? You seem to have long

known someone wanted to attack me.”

Jeremy’s silence implied that he admitted it. It seemed like he did not wish to bother telling her too

much. He just turned around and walked out of the narrow alley.

Corinne did not get an answer, so she quickly caught up to him and asked again, “Do you know who’s

the Sir those people spoke about?”

“Mm-hmm.” Jeremy lowered his head to lit a cigarette and hummed indifferently without looking at her

at all.

“Tell me, who is it?” Corinne wanted to know very badly who had such a huge grudge against her that

the person wanted to take her life!

“Your boss.” Jeremy’s voice was flat.

Corinne stopped in her tracks, feeling shocked and very confused. “It’s Lucas? Did he hire someone to

kill me? Why?”

Jeremy was walking slightly ahead of her. He took a puff of his cigarette, then said slowly,” Anya was

once bullied by two classmates in middle school. The two girls vanished into thin air later and are still

not found today.”

Corinne was dumbfounded.

What Jeremy meant was that Lucas did not hesitate to have someone get rid of the people who bullied

his precious sister to seek justice for her.

Therefore, Jeremy already could tell that Lucas wanted to kill her when they were at the hospital. That

was why he called her away, giving her a chance to first leave. It was also because he was sure she

would get in trouble on her way home that he asked her to get in hist car in front of the restaurant.

However, she did not cooperate with him at all.

“Is Mister Lucas so merciless?”

Corinne was not willing to believe her half-brother was such a heartless man, even though she would

not acknowledge him as her brother.

Jeremy looked askance at her. “Do you think Lucas is some good guy?”

Corinne felt silent.

She never thought Lucas was a good person, but she did not expect him to be so extreme. He would

go to the lengths of killing people to help his precious sister avenge her.

“Also, stay away from Jason as well in the future!” Jeremy added indifferently.

What did this have to do with Jason? Corinne was dazed, then she frowned. “Mister Jeremy, do you

think nobody other than you is a good person in the world?”

Jeremy shot her a glance coldly, then said in a cold and deep voice, “I’m not a good person either.”

Corinne snickered. “So I see you know it yourself!”

There was a cigarette in between Jeremy’s well-defined fingers, and he was surrounded by smoke. He

turned his head a little, squinting at her. “Whether I am a good person or not depends on who I am

dealing with.”

At first, Corinne was still laughing, but she got so uncomfortable as Jeremy stared at her meaningfully,

she could only smile.

It seemed that Jeremy was not expecting her to understand. He sneered, puffing out a cloud of smoke

while looking ahead.

Looking at his side profile as he smoked, Corinne felt he was handsome, but she frowned. ” Mister

Jeremy, you should smoke less. This is already your sixteenth cigarette today!”

Jeremy was slightly dazed. He stopped in his tracks a little, then looked toward her. His deep gaze was

unfathomable. “What did you say?”

Corinne suddenly regained her senses and figured out that what she said was not quite right. She

turned her head and said after a pause, “I didn’t say anything!”

She sped up as she wanted to put distance between herself and Jeremy and go their ways!

Jeremy, however, raised his hand to block her path. Squinting his deep, fathomless eyes, he asked

again, “Why did you count how many cigarettes I’ve had, Miss Corrine? Were you caring about me?”
