Chapter 744

“Out with it, Annie. Why were you following me?” Corinne asked curtly despite having a good guess of

what it was about.

Annie pouted. “I… I just wanted to find out where you went, and why you went there alone.”

Corinne folded her arms slowly. “Why are you so interested in my itinerary? Answer me honestly.”

Annie felt ashamed because she knew stalking was wrong, but once she remembered that she did all

that because of her mission, she puffed her chest and raised her head to ask, “Because…. Because I

saw you exiting the office of Newmoon Group’s president. What’s your relationship?

Η

Corinne kept her composure and answered, “We’re childhood friends. Is something wrong with that?”

Annie was taken aback, in shock and awe. “Childhood friends? How are you childhood friends with

Newmoon Group’s president? Didn’t you grow up in the countryside when you were younger?”

Corinne looked at her insipidly. “Are you suggesting that people from the countryside can never

succeed in starting a company? Is it strange that I’m friends with someone successful enough to

become the president of a company?”

Annie quickly waved her hand. “No, no! That’s not what I meant! I just thought you and Newmoon

Group’s president are-”

Corinne finished the sentence for Annie. “Are having an affair?”

Annie felt even more ashamed. “I… That’s what I heard from Tommy. He told me that you got married

to Newmoon Group’s Aaron Rhode, so I… I…”

Corinne was silent. Such a misunderstanding did happen between herself and Jeremy before, with

Jeremy mistakenly believing that she and Aaron were married. Tommy, as Jeremy’s right- hand man,

would understandably share the same view too.

Annie sighed worriedly. “You might not know this, but Uncle Jeremy hasn’t been the same. ever since

you left. He’d always be low–spirited, and it was like his life was turned upside down. When I heard that

you married another man, I immediately planned to help him get back with you!”

Corinne came back to her senses and asked, “And what did you plan to do?”

“First,” Annie said resolutely, “I’ll apply for a job at Newmoon Group. Then, I’ll seduce your husband

Aaron so he’ll cheat on you. He’ll get disgusted by you after that, and finally, Uncle Jeremy will swoop

in to take you back!”

After hearing Annie’s plan, Corinne’s lips twitched, and she felt speechless like never before.

Annie was the kind of sucker for love whose thought process was incredibly different from normal

people.

Corinne facepalmed. “Which phase of the plan are you on right now?”

“I’ve applied for the job at Newmoon Group, and I’ve been working there for a while now!”

‘I get it now. So Annie went to work in Newmoon Group, which was why she saw me coming out of the

president’s office earlier.‘

Corinne looked helplessly at the silly girl. “How did you seduce Aaron, then?”

Annie shook her head dejectedly. “Sigh. I haven’t managed to seduce him yet! I didn’t even have the

chance to do so. Your husb–I mean, your friend doesn’t usually spend a lot of time at the company, and

he’s always busy with work whenever he clocks in. I sometimes try to find a chance to give him a cup

of coffee, but he never once looked at me! It reached the point where I’m starting to doubt myself! Am I

that ugly? Do men not find me attractive?” Corinne heaved a sigh of relief that she did not get bullied by

Aaron.
