    Meanwhile, Corinne came home in a taxi.

    Throughout the whole taxi ride, her mind flitted between Jeremy’s injuries, the look he gave her before


    she left, and the misunderstanding between them.


    ‘Gah! This is so frustrating! she thought.


    Mimi came to rub her legs as soon as Corinne entered the door..


    Corinne changed into her indoor slippers before scooping Mimi up and burying her head against its fur.


    Only then did she feel a bit better.


    Aaron was brewing coffee in the kitchen. Seeing her back home, he asked, “Why are you back so


    early? Did you get anything out of the party?”


    Corinne sat down on the sofa with Mimi in her arms and leaned backzily. “Yeah, I did.”


    Although she was forced into being the Lovces’ honorary granddaughter, it could still be counted as


    getting something out of the party since it would be easier for her to look into all that happened in the


    Lovce family.


    Aaron sensed something was off about her so he asked, “Then why do you look so sad?”


    “I’m just tired,” Corinne replied weakly.


    Aaron passed her a ss of warm milk. “What’s the matter? Did you dance too much at the party?”


    Corinne epted the ss of milk but not before rolling her eyes at him. She then took a sip of the


    milk and told him everything that happened at the OB-GYN department.


    Aaron raised his brows in rm after hearing her story. “Someone must have tampered with the blood


    test result but who could it be?”


    Corinne scoffed. “If I guessed correctly, it should be Anya. After all, only she would do something like


    this.


    After thinking about it, Aaron nodded in agreement. “Actually she has helped you in a way. If not,


    Jeremy would have found out you’re carrying his kid!”


    Corinne’s eyes darkened. “Yeah, you’re right.”


    “Well, he already thinks we’re married so we might as well let him think you’re carrying my baby. It’s the


    perfect setup to dispel any suspicions he might have of us.”


    ‘He’s right again, but,’ Corinne looked down listlessly at her hands as the milk in her mouth became


    bitter.


    Aaron knew she was down so he moved closer to her and asked, “Be honest with me, boss. You still


    care about him, right? That’s why you’re sad that he thinks you’re a loose woman.”


    Corinne could not bring herself to tell him just how hurt she was. Ever since she was young, she never


    cared about what others thought of her so she did not understand why she cared so much about what


    Jeremy thought of her.


    ‘Ughhhh!’ Not wanting to think about Jeremy anymore, she changed the topic. “It doesn’t matter


    anymore. Aaron, I’m hungry. Go make something for me to eat!”


    “Sure thing!” Aaron did not dare to pry any further into her love life so he quickly went to the kitchen but


    on the way, he said, “By the way, this year’s World Hacker Conference will be held here. I heard


    Ghostlord is going to attend too. Do you want to go?”


    ‘Ghostlord! The world’s number one hacker’ thought Corinne. He was her idol and she always wished


    to


    meet him. She was not in a good moodtely so she thought she should cheer herself up by going to


    see her idol. ‘And if I don’t get to see him. Well, I’ll just take it as a way to get my mind off things.”


    “Yes, let’s go! Where is the venue going to be?” Corinne asked.
