Chapter 1379


    Besides, the apple did not fall far from the tree. It would not be difficult to imagine what kind of person


    Adam was with a daughter like Sophia.


    Then there were, of course, the rumors of Adam being ruthless enough to not even blink when he killed


    people and how he would stop at nothing to get what he wanted.


    Thus, it was not that Corinne did not trust Jeremy but because she was worried about him.


    Unfortunately, she could tell he had made up his mind, and nothing she said could ever change it.


    “I trust you,” she finally said calmly and determinedly. “But, I don’t trust either Sophia or her father.”


    Jeremy naturally understood where her worries wereing from, but he made sure to cover for all


    sorts of eventualities.


    “Don’t worry. I know what I’m doing,” he said.


    Knowing it would be futile to stop him, Corinne decided not to waste her time trying to convince him


    otherwise. Thus, she scoffed and started eating again.


    Seeing this, Jeremy kept putting food on her te like an attentive husband.


    Suddenly, Corinne remembered something, so she asked, “By the way, why did you fake your death


    back then?”


    Jeremy continued to pile food on her te as he answered, “Because I wanted to find out who’s the


    mastermind behind all the silver-haired man’s scheme. I didn’t expect that you’d risk your life to look for


    me.”


    Corinne frowned. “Are you ming me for ruining your n?”


    Jeremy smiled. “No. But please don’t ever risk your life for me again, okay?”


    Instead of answering him, Corinne said, “In other words, the silver-haired man who kidnapped me


    wasn’t the mastermind? There’s someone else?”


    Jeremy nodded. “Sorry for dragging you into my family’s mess. If it weren’t for that, you wouldn’t have


    ended up getting kidnapped and being used to ckmail me.”


    Corinne did not really care about all that. “It’s okay. There’s no going back now. But Mister, what you


    should’ve done was to tell me everything so I wouldn’t have mistakenly thought that you’re having an


    affair.”


    Jeremy sighed and gave her a resigned look. “I know you. You’re not the type who’d be scared of those


    people nor would you listen to me if I told you to stay at home. I wouldn’t be surprised if you tried to


    investigate the matter for my sake, and that’ll only attract more attention toward you.”


    Corinne was speechless. ‘He’s right. Instead of being afraid, I’ll help him investigate the matter to see if


    there’s any way to solve his problems…’


    “Little rascal, promise me something. Promise me that you’ll stay home for the next three days and wait


    for me toe back,” said Jeremy coaxingly.


    “Okay, I promise you,” replied Corinne softly.

    Jeremy had told her that there was a mastermind behind the silver-haired man’s scheme. Since he was


    firm in his decision to go to Molomia, Corinne thought she should at least lessen his burden by not


    giving him any reason to worry about her safety.


    Frankly, her heart ached a little for the strong man before her. It had been like that ever since she got to


    know about his past from Anniest night.


    ‘Poor man has the most selfish parents in the world. His father only knows how to fool around with


    other women while his mother abandoned him after getting disappointed too many times by her


    husband,’ thought Corinne.
