Chapter 1167


    Corinne put down her fork and rested her chin on her hand. “I’m actually quite surprised you turned out


    cheerful and optimistic.”


    Jason smiled. “Cheerful and optimistic? I guess. But you should know there’s a lot of pressure that


    comes with being a sessor. The training was so harsh that I didn’t even get to enjoy my childhood.


    Not to mention, everyone treats me like I’m nothing just because I’m not the biological son. It was hard


    to make friends in the wealthy circle. When I first took over thepany, the directors in thepany


    were so angry that they couldn’t wait for me to fail.”


    Corinne nodded sympathetically. “I can imagine how hard it must’ve been for you back then. But aren’t


    you d you pushed through ’cause everyone has to bow to you now?”


    Jason smiled wryly. “They only do that to my face, but when my back is turned, they’ll talk sh*t about


    me. Even Jeremy, Zeke, and Gerald think I’m beneath them. The only person in the world who treats


    me like an equal is Lucas.”


    Corinne found it odd he would say that. She assumed Lucas was the type who thought everyone was


    beneath him. While it was true Jeremy, Zeke, and Gerald were closer to each other, it did not mean


    they looked down on Jason. Otherwise, they would not have hung out with him.


    “You’re overthinking things. Jeremy’s not the type to look down on others,” said Corinne.


    Jason narrowed his eyes. “Even now you’re still speaking up for him?”


    “I’m not speaking up for him. I’m just giving you an impartial observation. If he’s really the type that


    judges people by their background, he wouldn’t have married a country bumpkin like me.”


    Jason chuckled coldly. “But you said he was ying you, right? Isn’t that the reason you’re running


    away from him?”Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books Updates…


    Corinne was speechless. ‘He’s right. Why did I speak up for Jeremy at all?’


    “You know what? Let’s just forget about him. You should eat some of the crawfish too!” said Corinne in


    a friendlier tone than usual.


    Jason smiled. “It’s okay. I’m happy to just peel them for you.”


    Corinne rolled her eyes. “I can’t possibly finish all of them. Besides, it’s lonely eating by myself. It’ll be


    more enjoyable if you share them with me.”


    “Alright. I’ll eat them with you.” Jason sat down to eat with her.


    Corinne started peeling her own crawfish since it tasted better when she did it herself.


    “Corinne, do you know why I’m so sure you’re morepatible with me than Jeremy?” asked Jason


    suddenly.


    Corinne, who was still peeling the crawfish, raised her eyebrow. “And here I thought you’d be quiet


    while eating.”


    Jason smiled. “But it’ll be boring if we don’t talk.”


    “Didn’t your mama ever teach you to keep your mouth shut while eating?”


    Jason’s lips twitched. He could tell Corinne was trying to avoid the topic, but he did not care; he would


    tell her even if she did not want to hear.

    “We’re morepatible since we had a simr childhood which gave us the values we have now. On


    the other hand, you and Jeremye from different worlds. The two of you together is like trying to fit


    a square block into a round hole, while we share the samenguage.”


    Corinne was not really in the mood to talk matters of the heart with Jason. “Thousands of people share


    the same childhood, but that doesn’t mean they’repatible. Mister Jason, you should go back home


    if you’re not interested in eating the crawfish.”


    Jason smiled helplessly. “Fine. I won’t talk about this topic anymore.”
