Chapter 1230


    Corinne’s pregnancy hormones made her more impatient than ever. She was already in a bad mood


    from seeing Jeremy, and Sophia’s nonsensical babbling pushed her to the edge.


    Corinne raised her hand, intending to push Sophia out of the way. Just as her fingers brushed her


    shoulder, Sophia flew out and hit her head on the cashier counter as though propelled by some


    invisible force. Blood started to trickle down her forehead, causing her to scream out in pain.


    Corinne frowned at Sophia’s subpar acting. ‘I can’t believe just a few minutes ago, I thought this


    woman was smarter than Anya in her maniption method! Welp, she’s not that much smarter after


    all.’


    Corinne did not feel guilty at all as she did not even touch Sophia before she fell on her own ord.


    ‘It’s just as well that she fell. I can leave the restaurant now.’


    However, she did not even take two steps before Jeremy shouted at her, “Where do you think you’re


    going?!”


    Corinne stopped and turned to look at him. “What? Do I need your permission to leave too?”


    Jeremy’s face darkened. He strode toward where Sophia was on the floor and helped her up before


    ring at Corinne. “How can you leave when you’re the reason Sophia is so badly hurt?”


    “Forget it, Jeremy. I’m okay. Please don’t ruin your reunion with Miss Corinne because of me…” said


    Sophia, pretending to be stoic.


    Jeremy scoffed. “I know you mean well, Sophia. But I don’t think she’s the type to appreciate it.”Books

    Sophia shook her head and squeezed out a smile. “I’m fine.”


    Corinne’s eyes had grown icy cold by then. “Mister Jeremy, you should know that she wouldn’t let me


    leave just now so I had no choice but to push her aside.”


    Jeremy took a step toward her and looked at her threateningly. “You can push her aside, but not to the


    point she’d fall and hurt her head!”


    He was still the same man she knew, but this time, her position with Sophia had been switched.


    Previously, whenever Corinne was used of something she did not do, Jeremy would unconditionally


    come to her defense. He would believe she was innocent even when she did not tell him.


    This time, he chose to believe his legally married wife—Sophia.


    ‘Well, I guess I shouldn’t be surprised,’ thought Corinne. ‘I was more important than all the random girls


    that tried to pull me down in the past, so of course he’d side with me. But now that it’s his wife we’re


    dealing with… It only makes sense he’d choose to believe her over me.’


    Even though Corinne understood the reasoning behind Jeremy’s action, she could not help but feel


    chilled to the core.


    “Then what do you want me to do?” she sneered

    Jeremy looked at her from head to toe before gesturing with his chin to Sophia. “Apologize to her, and


    we’ll let the whole thing slide.”


    ‘What? He wants me to apologize to her for something I didn’t do?’


    Corinne smirked. “You might as well sue me because I’m never going to apologize. She knows very


    well that I don’t have the strength to push her that hard.”


    Sophia took a deep breath pitifully and said, “She’s right! It was my fault. I was caught off bnce, and


    that’s why I fell. Jeremy, please, let’s forget the whole thing. I’m really okay!”


    Jeremy was not going to let Corinne off the hook so easily. He took another threatening step toward


    her. “I’m only going to ask you onest time. Are you or are you not going to apologize?”


    Corinne felt her heart aching. She was not hurt by the fact that she was wrongfully used but by the


    fact that Jeremy did not believe her.
