Chapter 164


    Corinne had no idea what was it that stoked Sherlyn’s rage, but she answered curtly and hung up


    before going back to their table.


    There were few patrons in such a high-end restaurant, and the table Sherlyn reserved was next to the


    floor-to-ceiling windows where one could enjoy the river view outside while dining. It was an expensive


    seat, but one with the lowest minimum spend.


    She had to grit her teeth when doing so because it was all for the sake of leaving a good impression in


    front of Jeremy and pretending as if she had the financial means to do so.


    On normal asions, she would never be willing to spend all that money to reserve that table, and she


    was particrly angry because she had spent a huge surn on the table and even ordered the most


    expensive dish, only to have the man leave without eating a single bite!


    At that moment, Corinne walked over from a distance and saw Sherlyn sulking by the window. She


    folded her arms across her chest in resentment and seemed to be in a ring rage. Corinne was the


    only one at the table, and Jeremy was nowhere to be seen.


    In fact, Corinne had already expected that oue since Sherlyn would never talk to her in such a


    tone in front of Jeremy.


    “Why did you call me toe back here, Sherlyn?”


    When Sherlyn heard her voice, she immediately turned around and red she asked, ” Did you do it on


    purpose, Corinne?”


    Corinne looked puzzled. “Do what on purpose?”


    “Ignore my calls on purpose!” Sherlyn gritted her teeth angrily. “Mister Jeremy thought that you weren’t


    sincere in apologizing to him because you weren’t with us at the table, so he left without eating a


    single!”


    Corinne frowned helplessly. “If I remember correctly, didn’t you instruct me to pretend as if I had


    diarrhea because you didn’t want me around?”


    Sherlyn’s face froze, but she showed not a single ounce of restraint despite knowing that it had been


    her mistake. Instead, her attitude worsened after her contradiction had been pointed out, and she


    raised her finger angrily to shout at Corinne. “When Mister Jeremy expressed his unhappiness, I


    immediately decided to call you toe back. He left in anger because I couldn’t get through to you! If


    you answered my call at the time and came back to apologize to him, he wouldn’t have left in the first


    ce! This is all your fault, Corinne! Bad luck follows you wherever


    you go!”


    Corinne was speechless and her lips twitched. ‘I can’t believe she med me when she was the


    one who couldn’t get him to stay!


    Sherlyn was already unhappy after spending a lot of money to reserve a table at The Wild Bites. and


    she became even more upset when she saw Corinne standing in front of her with an ‘it’s-none- of-my-


    business’ attitude. She then added, “I don’t care! If you can’t get Mister Jeremy to have a meal with me


    today, I’ll fine you the price of this meal!”


    Corinne spread her palms helplessly. “But I don’t have any money.”


    Sherlyn red at Corinne in disgust and loathed thetter for having the unsightly attitude of a poor


    person. However, it was Corinne’s poorness that bolstered Sherlyn’s sense of superiority. and she said


    in disdain, “No money, you say? How about you return the sry I advanced to you?”


    Although Sherlyn knew that Corinne was a country bumpkin who had no money, she had already


    incurred a huge loss for the meal, and she demanded the return of Corinne’s sry because that would


    at least allow her to make up for the loss she suffered.


    Corinne, however, shook her head in apparent refusal. “There’s no reason for you to deduct my sry


    when I didn’t do anything wrong.”


    Her refusal made Sherlyn even angrier. “You have the nerve to say you did nothing wrong? You


    scalded Mister Jeremy, and he left earlier because of you! If you still think you didn’t do anything.


    wrong, why don’t you give Dad a call and ask for his opinion?”


    Corinne lowered her head and there was a hint of cunning in her eyes, but she put on a frightened look


    and said, “Don’t call Dad. I’ll think of a way…”

    Sherlyn rolled her eyes. “Tch! Do you honestly think you cane up with a way? Don’t try to pull any


    funny business. Return your sry to me right now!”
