Chapter 371


    Corinne was at a loss for words. ‘What did I do? I didn’t provoke anyone! Why am I needlessly attacked


    here?!‘


    “Don’t point at her,” a deep, booming voice sounded from not far away. Though the voice was loud, the


    tone sounded almost deafening to anyone who heard it. Everyone felt a chill down their spine as they


    looked over in the direction of the voice.


    Standing in the distance was a tall, handsome man. His neat and handsome hair highlighted his


    beautiful facial features, which looked good from every single angle. His entire person was reminiscent


    of a walking sculpture, and he carried an aura of prestige despite his expressionless face.


    Jeremy walked over calmly and exuded a daunting aura from his body.


    Lucas narrowed his eyes and shot a hostile nce at the man.


    Sunny was stunned, and he wondered why Jeremy would be there..


    Meanwhile, the rest of the people felt oppressed by the increasingly tense atmosphere and did not dare


    not speak out as they looked anxiously at the exchange between the two men.


    Corinne raised her eyebrows and was surprised that he showed up there. In the absence of those.


    whom she was close with, she was very amiable toward his gesture of showing up there and


    instinctively leaned over to look up at the man who was much taller than her. “Why are you here?”


    Jeremy lowered his eyes, and his cold gaze softened a little as he looked at her. “It’s raining, so I came


    to bring you an umbre.”


    Tommy, who had followed him from behind, was holding a ck umbre.


    ‘Is it raining outside?’ Corinne wanted to look out the window, but since there were no windows.


    around, she could not see what was going on outside the mall and if it was raining.


    The man’s big rough palms held her little head, lifted it at a 45–degree angle, and fondly stroked her


    little face with his long fingers. “Are you done enjoying yourself the entire afternoon?”


    ‘Enjoying myself? I just got scolded!‘

    Corinne yawnedzily. “I’m tired. I want to go home.”


    The man pretended to be unhappy and frowned. “I didn’t think you’d get tired. Do you prefer being


    lashed out at by someone else instead of spending time with me? Couldn’t you have called me if you


    were bullied outside?”


    She was speechless to hear that sort of tone from him, but it sounded overly doting as if he genuinely


    regarded her as an elementary school student.


    Corinne pursed her lips and said, “Aren’t you here now even when I didn’t call you?”


    “You wouldn’t think to call me at all if I didn’t show up here!” Jeremy rubbed her head and spoke.


    reproachfully in a mature voice.


    Corinne was speechless. ‘I can’t stand his sappiness!‘


    Jeremy did not tease her anymore, pulled Corinne gently to his side, and protected her under his arms.


    Since Lucas had spoken rudely to his woman earlier, he looked up at the man and stood up for


    Corinne. “I hope the Riveras will do better than to be the very definition of the word‘ ungrateful‘.


    How dare you point your finger at the girl who once helped your old man?”


    Lucas nced at Jeremy, and his irritated expression finally returned to normal as a calm yet elegant


    smile unfurled across his face. “The same can be said for you in terms of ungratefulness, Jeremy. My


    sister Anya saved your life too, so given that you’re being so intimate with another woman in front of


    me, I can’t help but wonder if Anya still has a ce in your heart. Have you forgotten what my sister


    had to sacrifice to save you?”
