Chapter 1196


    Corinne knew Sophia was deliberately making things difficult for her. Luckily, Jeremy was not going to


    be there that day, and everything would be fine as long as he did not show up.


    Corinne looked silently at Sophia. “So, you’ll let me go after I take my mask off? Why do you have to


    look at my face? It’s very disrespectful of you to use me of stealing just because I’m fat. Call the


    police then. If the police arrive and request that I take off my mask and hat, I assure you that I’ll


    cooperate with the investigation.”


    After careful consideration, Corinne concluded that Sophia would not call the police. Even if Sophia


    was sure that Corinne had stolen something, there was a high chance Sophia would refrain from


    making a police report. After all, losing a small item had far fewer repercussions than if news got out


    that a police investigation hadmenced on the day of the building’s officialunch. A big fuss would


    ensue, and Holden Group would suffer a huge drop in reputation.


    Corinne’s guess was spot on—Sophia did not want to call the police at all. She just wanted to see


    Corinne’s face due to her suspicious demeanor.


    As Sophia was thinking about how to deal with her, the nearby elevator door opened. A tall, handsome


    man walked out.

    Sophia’s eyes lit up at once. “Jeremy! You’re here! I thought you said you were busy?”Books Chapters

    He responded curtly, “It’s settled now. Why are you here, though?”


    Sophia smiled and said, “I wanted to check your office to see if there’s anything I can help tidy up. I


    didn’t expect to see someone sneaking in and out of your office! She’s being very suspicious. I asked


    her to take off her hat and mask, but she refused to do so.”


    Jeremy finally noticed that the woman was dressed in a loose coat, a peaked cap, and a ck mask. ‘I


    don’t know her. Did she enter my office?’ Jeremy frowned a little and he had a wary expression. “Who


    are you?”


    Corinne held her breath as soon as he spoke. ‘Jeremy’s here! I thought I wouldn’t run into him here!’


    Even though Corinne was very guilty, she faced his question calmly and adjusted herposure


    before answering him. “It’s been a while, Mister Jeremy. I’m Moon. I was here for the ribbon-cutting


    ceremony. I wanted to take this opportunity toe and see the finished product, but thisdy refuses


    to let me go because she suspects me of stealing something from your office”


    Fortunately, she had changed her voice and tone slightly since first speaking to Sophia earlier.


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes and looked at her again. “You’re Moon?”


    They met before and chatted with each other back when he went to Newmoon Group’s building. She


    wore a mask because of her skin allergies. Although he did not see her face then, he remembered she


    had a very slim figure that was vastly different from her slightly chubby appearance that day.


    Corinne nodded and lowered the brim of her hat to cover her eyes. “Yes, I’m Moon. Don’t you


    remember me?”


    Jeremy snapped back from his thoughts. “You look very different from thest time we met.”


    Corinneughed self-mockingly, “I didn’t take care of my health and gained some weight. This is a little


    embarrassing.”


    Jeremy seemed to be in deep thought as he looked at her body and paid special focus to her huge


    waistline.


    Seeing as they did know each other, Sophia’s attitude changed slightly. “Since you both know each


    other, how about you take off your hat and mask to show a bit more courtesy to us?”
