Chapter 179


    If Corinne decided to do nothing to help Jeremy in his predicament, it would no doubt haunt her in the


    future knowing she could have helped him but did not.


    Making up her mind, she took a deep breath. “Wait, Mister! I’ll help you!”


    Jeremy stopped walking as his heart pounded heavily.


    His mind and his desire were fighting each other like a vampire with thest humanity remaining in him


    when faced with human blood. He clung to thest strand of rationality from running over to Corinne.


    He narrowed his eyes sharply like a predator. “Why?”


    Corinne walked over and turned to face Jeremy before hesitantly undid his bathrobe. “It’s an


    emergency. Think of it as humanitarian aid. Besides, you’re not that bad looking, and you have a good


    body too. I don’t think I’m at a disadvantage if I help you, so let’s do this.”


    Every word she said pinpointed every reason for Jeremy to get angry. There was no emotion in her


    words, and all that was left was morality.


    Jeremy suppressed his desire and asked, “If the man standing in front of you isn’t me now but another


    man in the same situation, are you going to be so kind and generous to help him?”


    Corinne nodded. “If he’s a good guy, I will.”


    Jeremy would have let this go, but her exnation served only to infuriate him.


    ‘That means I’m not special since she’s going to be kind enough to take off her clothes for other men


    too!’


    He wrapped his arm around Corinne’s waist with the intent to punish her while he looked at her from


    high above. “Fine. Since you’re so benevolent, I’ll ept your offer.”


    Corinne wanted to say something else, but Jeremy passionately seized her lips with his which stopped


    her from talking.


    Lifting her off her feet, he then tossed her onto the bed and pressed his toned body against her. As he


    used his calloused hand to remove the strands of hair on her face, he asked, “Any thoughts of backing


    out?”


    Corinne was dazed after the kiss. She closed her eyes and refused to face him. She said. stubbornly, “I


    won’t regret doing something benevolent.”


    It sparked the desire in Jeremy’s eyes into fire. He smiled sarcastically. “Fine. Even if you regret it


    now, I’m not going to let you go. Don’t cryter, oh merciful Corinne.”


    Corinne panicked. As a matter of fact, she realized she was slowly falling into it, but she pretended that


    she was reacting in this way only because she was trying to save Jeremy, ignoring other feelings that


    appeared during this moment.


    It would be easier for her to deal with her rtionship with Jeremy in the future. It would be less difficult


    to keep their rtionship as cooperative partners; they could end it anytime they want.


    It was a night of highs and lows.


    When Corinne woke up, the sun was already up in the sky, shining brightly. She tried to sit up, but


    everything was hurting so much that it felt as though she was beaten up.


    Realizing she was the only one on the bed, she reached for a bathrobe and put it on before she got off


    the bed, intending to go to the bathroom. However, she quickly noticed that the door was half- opened


    as voices were heard in the hallway.


    It was Tommy’s voice.


    She walked over to take a look.


    “Sir, the kidnappers are put behind bars, but their leader refused to admit those are his subordinates


    and even prepared an alibi to prove he wasn’t there. There were no traces that he had contacted those


    people too. The police couldn’t do anything, so they let him go.”


    “Find that guy and bring him to me,” Jeremymanded.


    “Understood!”


    Jeremy pushed the door and walked into the room where he saw Corinne groggily standing near the


    door. His brow furrowed. “You’re awake?All content ? N/.?vel/Dr/ama.Org.
