Sophia turned pale when such specific questions were directed to her. She shook her head innocently and denied it.
“That’s not true! How could you make all those false accusations?”
Corinne sneered. “Please. I have no reason to waste my breath on you if you didn’t do any of that. You claim that
I’m jealous of the marriage certificate you have with him, but what you don’t know is that I don’t give two hoots
about it. If you can make him yours with that certificate, then by all means, do it!” Corinne glanced up and looked at
Jeremy.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeremy was guilty as charged, so he did not dare to anger her or express his opinions. He was at fault for hiding
from her the circumstances surrounding the marriage certificate, and he deserved all the scolding.
Sophia did not admit to anything that Corinne said, but she did not have strong reasons to refute him either. She
deliberately changed the topic and said, “Don’t you appreciate and cherish Jeremy at all? Don’t you feel
heartbroken if I take him away from you? How can you be worthy of his sincerity toward you if this is how you feel
toward him?”
Jeremy’s expression sank. He narrowed his eyes slightly and did not know what to feel as he looked at Corinne.
Sophia was adept at deflecting conflicts. Just a few simple questions were able to generate some friction between
Corinne and Jeremy, even though they had both eased up on each other more than before.
Corinne did not seem affected by it at all. If she could be brave to speak her mind in front of Jeremy, she need not
worry about what he would think of her. She smiled and said, “He’s well aware of whether or not I’m worthy of him,
so that’s none of your concern. However, you and I both know why you and Jeremy obtained the marriage
certificate in the first place. I’m not jealous about it at all. I’m just angry that he kept it from me and didn’t tell me
about it.
“If he could be convinced to be with you simply based on that document, then it only goes to show that he’s a
fickle-minded man who isn’t worth my appreciation. In that case, you can have him! However, I know very well you

Jeremy’s frown eased up a little after hearing her firm confidence in him.
Sophia was a little frustrated after hearing that. Corinne was much more difficult to deal with than expected. She
was unlike any other woman, and it was no wonder that Jeremy could not forget her!
Jeremy then coaxed, “You must be thirsty after giving your statement and talking so much. I’ll get some water for
you.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes at Jeremy. The physical aspect of losing someone was too painful, and she finally
understood how much she cared about him. It was beyond rational judgment.
