Chapter 535


    In any case, Corinne might as well apply the ointment on her burn wounds since Jeremy so kindly gave


    it to her.


    “Thanks,” said Corinne coolly. She decided to forgo delving into how Jeremy knew her hand.


    was burned.

    While opening and packaging and applying the ointment on her throbbing hand, she said, “In any case,


    “The bottom line is I didn’t hurt that kid. It was the waiter who identally threw the hot soup on him.”


    At that moment, Jeremy’s eyes seemed to have lost their focus. He looked at her through the haze of


    cigarette smoke and asked emotionlessly, “Did I ask you that?”


    Corinne frowned. “Then why did you ask me to follow you here? Don’t tell me you did that just to give


    me this ointment.”


    Jeremy did not answer her. He narrowed his eyes and fixed his gaze on the sparkling diamond ring on


    her ring finger. “Miss Carew, why are you still wearing the wedding ring my family gave you when


    you’re remarried to another man?”


    Corinne was speechless. She thought it was not urate for him to use the word “remarried” since the


    two of them were never really married in the first ce! ‘Has he forgotten that ours was only a marriage


    of convenience? And it’s not like I like this ring!’


    “Well, I would have taken it off if I could! But it seems like there’s a contraption keeping this ring stuck


    to my finger. Why don’t you give me one of those special liquids your family makes and I’ll take this ring


    right here and right now so that you can give it to your future wife.”


    Jeremy looked coldly at her with caliginous eyes. “There’s no need for that since my future. wife


    deserves something new.”


    Corinne was stunned but then she quickly frowned. ‘Is he trying to imply something by saying that?


    Does he mean he’ll never let his future wife wear something that has been used before or that he’ll


    never ept a divorced woman as his wife? Wait a minute! He’s making fun of the fact that he has


    already used me and now I’m just a second-hand good to my husband!’


    The thought made Corinne immensely upset. However, she was not going to let him get away with


    commenting on that so she chuckled coldly and said, “Forgive me for being blunt but unfortunately,


    your future wife won’t be able to escape her fate of using a second-hand good since you’re a second-


    hand good yourself!”


    Jeremy’s face stiffened a little before rage broke out all over his face. Hisment was only reserved


    for the ring and it did not mean what Corinne thought it meant. ‘Huh! She’s the one who misunderstood


    me and yet that didn’t stop her froming up with a pback so quickly!’


    He red at her for a long while but then thought nothing good woulde out of him arguing with her


    so in the end, he gruffly said, “You can leave once you’re done putting on the ointment.”


    “Huh?” Corinne was once again stunned. Thinking she heard wrong, she looked at him in bewilderment


    and asked, “Are you saying that I can leave, Mister Jeremy?”


    Jeremy puffed out a cloud of smoke. “Yes. I’ll handle the rest of the matter so you may leave now.”


    He then threw his cigarette down on the floor and stepped on it before turning around and exiting the


    stairwell.


    Corinne remained rooted to her spot. She looked down at the tube of ointment in her hand and thought


    back to what Jeremy said and his attitude toward her.


    ‘This is odd! So he never suspected that I was the one who hurt his son? Did he call me over here just


    to allow me to escape?
