Chapter 48


    ‘Does that mean Mister suspects I stole the watch like Sunny and the other people, too?’ Corinne


    thought.


    Come to think of it, they were not a real couple; trust never existed between them. Despite feeling a


    little disappointed, she did not care too much about it.


    She shook her head and answered calmly, “I didn’t take it.”


    No one could tell what Jeremy was feeling because of his cold expression. He responded calmly,”


    Alright, then. Let’s go.”


    The strong smell of food in the restaurant was making him ufortable, and he did not feel like


    staying for longer.


    Sunny was shocked to hear Jeremy saying they were leaving. He frowned vehemently as he found it


    hard to ept having things ended this way. He swiftly ran over and spread his arms to stop. Jeremy


    from leaving.


    “Jeremy, why are you believing her when she was caught red-handed?”


    Jeremy’s long eyes squinted. “The watch didn’t go missing, did it now? What else do you want her to


    do?”


    Sunny stubbornly argued, “But she’s a thief! How could you allow this thief to be with you?”


    Jeremy was evidently displeased by Sunny’s words, and his


    Sunny’s back stiffened, and all of a sudden, he was afraid to fear because he thought he was a


    righteous person. Stubbornly, he pointed at Corinne. “It’s…her…”


    At this point, Jeremy’s face looked borderline cynical. “Say that again.”


    Rosie quickly approached them and consoled softly, “Sunny, it’s fine. Don’t dwell on it anymore.


    Besides, I’m embarrassed that everyone’s upset just because of my watch.”


    She took the watch from Sunny’s hand and walked over to if you like this watch, I can give it to you.”


    She pulled Corinne’s hand and put the watch on Corinne’s wrist. With a bright and friendly smile, she


    said, “Here, you go. Think of it as a present tomemorate our first meeting.”


    Sunny furrowed his eyebrows and said unhappily,


    She gave him a helpless look. “Sunny, don’t say that. I trust Corinne didn’t do it on purpose!”


    Sunny was feeling sorry for her and murmured, “Rosie, you’re too kind.”


    Corinne looked down at the watch on her wrist. It was feminine watch. There were even a fewrge


    diamonds iid on the dial.


    Chapp


    She smiled joyfully like she had gotten a treasure. While she admired and touched the watch, she


    looked at Rosie. “Are you sure? Didn’t you say this was thest gift your grandfather gave to your


    before he passed away? Are you giving me such an important watch?”


    Rosie thought Corinne was just like any othermoner who never owned anything expensive, so she


    smiled. “Of course! Although this watch is very important to me, I’m happy to give it to you. I think we


    can get along very well. Giving the watch to you is also anothermemoration for me!”


    Corinne chuckled and raised her eyebrow. “I’ll take your gift, then.”


    Sunny loathed Corinne’s attitude and snorted, “Are you seriously epting it?”


    She nced at him and ignored him. As she waved her hand that had the watch on, she raised her


    head and asked Jeremy, “Honey, will you buy this watch for me if I like it?”


    It caught Jeremy by surprise when Corinne called him her honey. He was quite thrilled with it. His


    brows lifted, and he looked at her rather pleasantly. “Sure.”


    “That’s fantastic!” Corinne nodded satisfyingly. A secondter, she took off the watch carefully and …


    threw it into the soup they did not finish.


    Everyone was shocked by her action, especially since that watch was an expensive watch from


    use!


    Rosie panicked. “My watch!”


    Sunny was infuriated. “Corinne, what did you do?!”


    Peacefully as she was, she drew out some tissues to wipe her wrist and every finger that touched the


    watch like she had touched something disgusting. After that, she threw away the tissues and said to


    Jeremy, “Honey, you don’t have to buy me a watch anymore. Just help me to pay back. Miss Sutton’s


    watch to her.”

    Without stopping, she turned around and left the restaurant.


    Rosie’s friendly facade fell at that moment as she said angrily, “Jeremy, how could Corinne do that?”.


    Jeremy looked at Corinne leaving dashingly and felt rather satisfied.


    His expression hardened, however, as he turned to look at Rosie. He said, “She’s too childish, Why-


    don’t you tell Tommy how much the watch is, and he’ll transfer ten times the amount back to you. for


    the watch.”


    Rosie was stunned and hurt. “Jeremy, we’ve known each other for so many years. You know I don’t


    care about money! The watch means a lot to more. Isn’t Corinne a little too much?”
