Chapter 229


    Corinne bet Anya was a wonderful, perfect person to have so many people willingly protect her.


    She thought for a while and said to Sunny, “I’ll give you a solution. Your family is rich too, isn’t it? Even


    if Jeremy pulls his investment from Rosie’s family business, your family can invest and help your


    sister’s best friend to get through this difficulty.”

    Sunny looked embarrassed. “I have no say in my family’s financial decision yet… My brother makes a


    clear distinction between public and private interests, and he never likes Rosie, so that’s…not going to


    happen.”


    Feeling apologetic, Corinne said, “Well, there’s nothing I can do to help you.”


    Knowing her ce, she knew her words did not mean much to Jeremy, and she did not have the right


    to interfere with his financial decision. Even if Jeremy listened to her, she was not going to be the


    person to plead for Rosie.


    It was not her style to help someone who hurt her several times, nearly costing her life in the process.


    She was a firm believer that good would always be rewarded with good, and evil with evil. People who


    made mistakes had to bear the consequences of their actions.


    Sunny furrowed his brows vehemently and lowered his body as he took a step forward. “Corinne,


    please, I beg you. Please, go talk to Jeremy…”


    Even so, that did not change Corinne’s mind. She ced her arms on the chair handle, tilted her head,


    and used her hand to support her head. “I’m tired.”


    Annie came quickly to protect her by shoving Sunny. “Did you hear that? Corinne said she’s tired, so


    you get out of here now. Stop disturbing her from resting!”


    Since Sunny was already in a bad mood, it engulfed him even more when Annie got herself involved.


    “Annie Levine, I’m talking to Corinne. Stay out of this! It’s none of your business!”


    Annie stood her ground. “How is it none of my business? Anything that has to do with Corinne has to


    do with me! This isn’t the first time Rosie bullied Corinne. It makes sense for Jeremy to do something to


    her for payback. I even think the punishment is too light!”


    Sunny could never win a fight over her. He was so angry that the blue veins on his foreheads popped


    out. “Go away! You have no say in this!”


    He tried to circle past Annie to continue to talk to Corinne, but Annie spread her arms to stop him.


    “You’re the one who should go away! This is my uncle and Corinne’s room, and I have every right to


    say anything I want here!”


    “Annie Levine! You… You’re a bummer!”


    “Hahaha! Here I was wondering how you’ll fight back. Bummer? That’s all you can think of? Here, take


    this! Sunny Rivera, you’re an idiot!”


    “Annie Levine!”


    Thus, they broke out into another argument, which caused a headache for Corinne.


    She sighed.


    When they were not looking, she got up secretly and left the room to seek peace and quiet.


    …


    At the same time, in another room.


    “Alright, Jeremy. I admit…I was the one who ced the ear stud in one of the boots. But I only did it to


    scare Corinne! I didn’t know Moonshine would throw Corinne down the cliff…”


    The terrified Rosie quickly admitted her sin without arguing back once she knew Jeremy was going to


    retract his investment in her family business.


    Her family business had not been doing well for thest couple of years, and they were only able to


    continue with the support from Holden Group. If Jeremy pulled back his investment, her family business


    would be done for!


    In the past, Jeremy wavered and decided to invest in her family business because of Anya, but at this


    moment, he thought of pulling back his investment because of Corinne!
