There was a pleasant ring to the man’s tone. Judging from the background, he seemed to be at home.
Corinne said, “It’s me, Corinne.”
Jason was stunned for a moment. His charming eyes then lit up. “Corinne? I wouldn’t have expected you to call
me.”
Corinne cut straight to the chase. “Can you do me a favor?”
Jason asked with a smile, “Will I get anything in return?”
Corinne frowned. She pursed her lips and asked, “Shouldn’t you be asking me what sort of favor I want from you?”
Jason answered flirtatiously, “That’s not important! As long as you give me a chance to get close to you, I’ll agree

Corinne frowned. She always believed Aaron to be a one-of-a-kind flirt, but it was after meeting Jason that she
realized that the latter was far ahead of Aaron in that aspect! She could not care less for his sweet-talking and laid
out her plans to him right away.
Jason was forthright about it as well and proposed the benefits he would like in return.
After considering his demands, Corinne eventually agreed and ended the call.
Jason had other things to say, but Corinne ended the call before he could do so. He looked poignantly at the phone
and sighed.
“Who were you talking to, Jason?” Zeke asked, putting his arm around Jason’s shoulder.
Jason placed his phone away and smiled. “One of my employees wanted to check something with me.”
Zeke did not suspect a single thing and led Jason back to the wine table. “Let’s continue drinking, then! We’ve gotta
get Gerald drunk today!”
On Corinne’s end, she had just ended the call with Jason when another unknown number called.
Since the phone belonged to Xante and the number was not saved, she did not plan on answering calls on a whim
and immediately declined it. To Corinne’s surprise, the number called again, and Corinne pressed the button to
hang up.
It was on the sixth call that Corinne finally answered, and she only did so because she was worried there might be
some sort of emergency.
“Why did you keep declining my calls, Xante?”
Corinne wanted to explain to the caller that she was not Xante, but the caller’s voice sounded familiar to her.

Corinne recognized that voice as belonging to Sunny. She was a little surprised, because as far as she knew, they
had no business with each other. ‘Why would he call Xante?’ she asked.
Sunny then said, “Hey! Xante? Why aren’t you saying anything? Are you still angry with me? Come on, I’ve already
apologized to you! I didn’t even get angry with you when you told on me to my brother and had him send someone
to deal with me. You weren’t like that when you pushed me into bed the other night! You can’t do this to me! Do you
think I’ll let you get away with ignoring me after you slept with me? Keep dreaming!”
Corinne finally understood what was going on. Her expression soured, and she massaged her temples. “When did
that happen?”
Sunny was silent.
Corinne then asked sternly, “I’m asking you a question!”
