Chapter 882

Not wanting to let Corinne talk to Jason anymore, Francine dragged her out of the store. Once outside,

she let go of her and muttered ‘sl*t’ under her breath.

Corinne pretended not to have heard it. She looked around and asked, “What do you want to have for

lunch?”

Francine nearly blew up when she failed to bait Corinne into a fight. “I saw everything! Jason used a

photo of you as his phone’s wallpaper! Isn’t it enough that you’ve seduced my brother that you’re now

seducing Jason, too?”

Corinne did not even notice Jason used a photo of her as his phone’s wallpaper. Surprised, she could

not help but wonder how Jason managed to get her photo. After thinking about it, she recalled him

saving a photo of her when he helped Annie take a group photo during the party held at Lunar Century

Manor last time.

‘Ugh… Doesn’t he have any boundaries at all?’ she thought angrily. Then, while walking to the Asian

cuisine restaurant in front of them, Corinne answered nonchalantly, “It’s not like you’re going to believe

me if I tell you I didn’t seduce him, so we should just stop this conversation and have lunch first ’cause

I’m sure am hungry.”

Francine had no choice but to follow angrily behind her. She was frustrated at how nonchalant Corinne

was.

The two of them sat in the restaurant and ordered their food.

However, even when everything was served, Francine remained unmoving. She simply glared

vehemently at Corinne with her arms crossed as though Corinne had just killed her family.

Corinne took a few bites before looking up at Francine. “Why are you so angry? So what if I’ve

exchanged a few words with another man? Isn’t this the perfect opportunity for you to go running back

to your brother and snitch on me?”

“I’m worried you’ll cheat on my brother,” replied Francine unhappily.

Corinne smiled. “Well, won’t that be perfect for you? I mean, you did try to set me up last time. I’ll be

kicked out of your family if I’m found cheating, then you can ask your brother to marry someone you’re

happy to call your sister-in-law.”

Francine was speechless. I did go overboard with what I did to Corinne last time…’ she thought guiltily.

She did not get the idea of hiring somebody to r*pe Corinne until she heard from Anya during one of

their phone calls about a piece of local news that shocked everyone. ‘It was so stupid of me. Good

thing Corinne was smart enough to not fall for my trap…’

For some reason, she did not truly want Jeremy to give her a new sister-in-law.

“Corinne, I know you’re not interested in Jason, but you should know that men will always be attracted

to -beautiful women like you, so make sure you keep your distance and not let my brother down.”

Corinne raised her eyebrow. “You’re worried I’ll let your brother down?”

Francine rubbed the back of her neck awkwardly. “I mean, he’s head over heels for you, so what can I

do? And it’s not like I have the power to kick you out of the house.”

Corinne chuckled softly and placed a piece of meat on her plate. “Here, eat this. You shouldn’t worry

your little head about adult business when you can’t even do elementary math.”

Francine’s face turned red. “Hey! I’m one year older than you!”

“Oh, so you know that, too,” said Corinne after taking another bite of her food.

Francine fell speechless.

After that, hunger got the best of them two, so they stopped talking and ate quietly.

“Corinne!”

After a while, Corinne heard a somewhat unfamiliar voice calling out her name. She could not quite

place who the voice belonged to.

‘What the heck is going on today? Why does it seem like I’m bumping into everyone wherever I go?”

She turned around and saw a tall, skinny young man dressed in a white T-shirt and jeans walking

toward them.
