Chapter 557


    Jeremy looked down at her, staring coldly. “I asked you to leave when we were at the hospital, but you


    didn’t. I asked you to get into my car at the entrance of the restaurant, but you refused. I saved you, yet


    you repaid my kindness by being ungrateful and trying to hit me? I think you might only learn to be


    careful if you were killed by those people just now!”


    “Who says I was being ungrateful? I didn’t know it was you who came just now!” Corrine frowned as


    she suddenly realized something was wrong. “Hold on. What do you mean? You seem to have long


    known someone wanted to attack me.”


    Jeremy’s silence implied that he admitted it. It seemed like he did not wish to bother telling her too


    much. He just turned around and walked out of the narrow alley.


    Corinne did not get an answer, so she quickly caught up to him and asked again, “Do you know who’s


    the Sir those people spoke about?”


    “Mm-hmm.” Jeremy lowered his head to lit a cigarette and hummed indifferently without looking at her


    at all.


    “Tell me, who is it?” Corinne wanted to know very badly who had such a huge grudge against her that


    the person wanted to take her life!


    “Your boss.” Jeremy’s voice was t.


    Corinne stopped in her tracks, feeling shocked and very confused. “It’s Lucas? Did he hire someone to


    kill me? Why?”


    Jeremy was walking slightly ahead of her. He took a puff of his cigarette, then said slowly,” Anya was


    once bullied by two ssmates in middle school. The two girls vanished into thin airter and are still


    not found today.”


    Corinne was dumbfounded.


    What Jeremy meant was that Lucas did not hesitate to have someone get rid of the people who bullied


    his precious sister to seek justice for her.


    Therefore, Jeremy already could tell that Lucas wanted to kill her when they were at the hospital. That


    was why he called her away, giving her a chance to first leave. It was also because he was sure she


    would get in trouble on her way home that he asked her to get in hist car in front of the restaurant.


    However, she did not cooperate with him at all.


    “Is Mister Lucas so merciless?”


    Corinne was not willing to believe her half-brother was such a heartless man, even though she would


    not acknowledge him as her brother.


    Jeremy looked askance at her. “Do you think Lucas is some good guy?”


    Corinne felt silent.


    She never thought Lucas was a good person, but she did not expect him to be so extreme. He would


    go to the lengths of killing people to help his precious sister avenge her.


    “Also, stay away from Jason as well in the future!” Jeremy added indifferently.


    What did this have to do with Jason? Corinne was dazed, then she frowned. “Mister Jeremy, do you


    think nobody other than you is a good person in the world?”


    Jeremy shot her a nce coldly, then said in a cold and deep voice, “I’m not a good person either.”


    Corinne snickered. “So I see you know it yourself!”


    There was a cigarette in between Jeremy’s well-defined fingers, and he was surrounded by smoke. He


    turned his head a little, squinting at her. “Whether I am a good person or not depends on who I am


    dealing with.”


    At first, Corinne was stillughing, but she got so ufortable as Jeremy stared at her meaningfully,


    she could only smile.


    It seemed that Jeremy was not expecting her to understand. He sneered, puffing out a cloud of smoke


    while looking ahead.


    Looking at his side profile as he smoked, Corinne felt he was handsome, but she frowned. ” Mister


    Jeremy, you should smoke less. This is already your sixteenth cigarette today!”


    Jeremy was slightly dazed. He stopped in his tracks a little, then looked toward her. His deep gaze was


    unfathomable. “What did you say?”

    Corinne suddenly regained her senses and figured out that what she said was not quite right. She


    turned her head and said after a pause, “I didn’t say anything!”


    She sped up as she wanted to put distance between herself and Jeremy and go their ways!


    Jeremy, however, raised his hand to block her path. Squinting his deep, fathomless eyes, he asked


    again, “Why did you count how many cigarettes I’ve had, Miss Corrine? Were you caring about me?”
