Chapter 856

Anya was stumped by Corinne’s question. No one ever asked her for the details of what happened that

day, so she never felt the need to come up with an intricate lie. ‘I might be exposed if I simply bluff my

way through now…’

“Corinne, you sound like you don’t believe me. I’ve explained to you a thousand times that I don’t

remember the details since it happened so long ago. The same goes for Jeremy…”

Corinne smiled. “Now now, there’s no need to get so worked up over this, Miss Anya. I just couldn’t

help but think how dangerous it was for a small girl like you to be running around in the mountains like

that. It was a good thing you didn’t meet any bad guys. I shudder to think what would’ve happened

then.”

Anya became upset. ‘She’s making it sound like I’m being petty.”

However, on the surface, she smiled kindly to show that she was not angry.

“I wasn’t worked up, Corinne. I really thought you didn’t believe me. And besides, you didn’t have to

worry about child-me since my family has a summer villa near the mountain. I’d sometimes sneak out

to the mountain, and it was during one of these escapades that I bump into the injured Jeremy…”

Corinne nodded trustingly. “I see! Can you describe for me what Jeremy looked like? He must’ve been

quite young then.”

Jeremy was speechless at the subtle dig made by Corinne. ‘She’s making it sound like I’m very old

right now. Wait… Is she put off by how old I am now?”

Anya blushed and nodded. “Yeah… He was only 19 then, so he was quite young…”

“I bet he looked cuter than this unapproachable version of him now,” Corinne said with great interest.

“Why don’t you describe more about him to me, Miss Anya.”

The green veins in Jeremy’s forehead bulged.

“Sorry, but I’m not really good at describing people…” said Anya, trying to gloss over her lies.

Corinne raised her eyebrow. “You can just give me the gist of it-like the color of the clothing he wore

that day.”

Anya’s face stiffened. ‘How the h*ll would I know? I wasn’t the one who saved him. I don’t even know

what he looked like when he was injured, let alone the color of the clothing he wore that day!’

In truth, she only passed by that spot after Jeremy had left and the guy who passed her the bracelet

mistook her for Corinne. She then got to know about who Jeremy was and how he came to get hurt

from that guy, and that was how she was able to pass herself off as the girl who saved Jeremy.

The first time Anya met Jeremy was when she went to look for him at his office with the bracelet in her

hand. She planned to get a little reward from him, but when she saw him coming out from his office…it

was love at first sight.

The young Jeremy was handsome and stylish. He was even better looking than some of the male

models out there. In fact, she thought him even more attractive than Lucas, who she

used to think was the most handsome man in the world.

All it took was one look, and she swore to herself she would marry no one else but him.

However, all that would not help her in answering the question of what color of clothing. Jeremy was

wearing on the day she supposedly saved him.

A waving hand suddenly shook her out of her trance. Next came Corinne’s face.

“Hey! Earth to Miss Anya. What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you answering my question?”
