Chapter 405


    The women who were talking about her were mainly femalepanions whom the guys brought along,


    and they included popr entertainers, certified inte celebrities, and certain prominent daughters of


    smaller families.


    Jason did not like hearing thosements. With a frown, he nced unhappily at those talkative


    people and then said softly to the girl opposite him, “There are a lot of people here, so why don’t you go


    upstairs with me? I’ll get you a towel so you can dry your hair.”


    “Sure, thanks.”


    Corinne epted his suggestion because she did not want to stand there and be subject to all those


    nasty remarks. Before long, she went upstairs with him.


    As they walked slowly up the stairs, Jason nced at Corinne from the side and as she was following


    him, and those enchanting eyes that were often so charming seemed to be in deep thought. “Where’s


    Jeremy? Why did youe in all by yourself?”


    Corinne’s expression was very calm and she replied drily,

    He’s outside, probably still worried over his savior, Miss Anya.


    The slight bitterness in her seemingly indifferent tone


    prompted Jason to narrow his eyes and smile. “Did the two of you fight because of Anya?”


    Corinne’s expression remained unchanged, and she said in a t tone, “No. I understand why Mister


    Jeremy shows concern for his savior, so there’s nothing for me to feel awkward about.


    Jason was surprised to hear her reasoning, but he did notpletely believe that she would be so


    indifferent about it. He stared at her for a while with an inquisitive look andmented, “Jeremy has


    always been very kind to Anya, and before you showed up, I was always under the impression that the


    two of them would eventually get married.”


    Corinne cocked her eyebrow slightly. ‘Eventually get married? Only lovers will eventually get married,


    so does that mean that Jeremy had a rtionship with Anya, at least in Jason’s view?’


    Jason went on to say, “I know Jeremy’s character. He’s aloof, but very upright. If Anya saved his life,


    then he would most certainly repay her kindness. Truth is, the care that Jeremy showed Anya these


    past few years, such as the way he protects and tolerates her, was so impable that even I felt


    touched when I saw it.


    “However, it’s not quite the ideal thing to do if I look at it


    from the perspective of his wife. After all, women often find it difficult to ept when their husbands


    show such care toward other women. I can understand why you’re jealous, Corinne!”


    Corinne did not say anything because she could not be bothered to exin too much. ‘I’m not jealous;


    I’m angry!’


    She was angry with the distrustful tone in which he asked her what the situation was. The attitude he


    had was a clear demonstration that he suspected Lucas’s usations of her to be true. She thought


    that Jeremy knew her well, but that


    incident made her feel that he did not understand her at all, and worse still, think badly of her.


    Though she despised Anya’s duplicitous nature and did not want to interact with her in any way


    whatsoever, Corinne would never stoop to using such crass methods to harass Anya even if she hated


    Anya to the core.


    In fact, she had absolutely no interest in wasting her time and energy on someone like Anya, and it was


    Anya who kept on causing trouble to her time and again. It was incredibly annoying for Corinne.


    Jason led her to an unupied guest room and fetched a towel from the bathroom, which he handed


    over to her.


    “Take this and dry yourself up. This is the biggest guest room in Zeke’s vi. He doesn’t usually stay


    here, but each room is cleaned often, and stuff like the sheets and towels are changed regrly too.


    This towel is new, so you don’t have to worry about any hygiene issues.”


    Jason made a point to exin everything carefully to her.
