Chapter 322

Jeremy did not even look at the message. He simply turned off the phone and put it in his pants pocket.

Corinne leaned on the steel railing by the side of the bridge and stared into the distance. The wind from the river blew softly over her hair, making her look like an elegant and beautiful lady straight out of a classical painting.

The bridge was located opposite Yonder River’s embankment, where one could see the most cutting–edge high–rise buildings in the whole of New Capital City.

“Be careful. Make sure you don’t fall off the bridge.”

Jeremy grabbed her by the collar from behind as if he was picking up a kitten. In less than three seconds, he managed to ruin Corinne’s beautiful image. Her feet were hanging off the ground, making her so uncomfortable that she thought she was going to choke to death.

‘Oh, my god. He’s so annoying. Why does he keep treating me like a kid who doesn’t know anything?‘ thought Corinne.

“Let me go, Mister. I’m not so stupid as to fall off the bridge!” she said.

Jeremy carried her to a place further away from the railing before letting her go. Her feet finally touched the ground.

Then, he condescendingly looked down and scoffed at her. Are you sure you’re not that stupid?”

“Of course!” exclaimed Corinne with a frown.

“If you’re not that stupid, why can’t you see it?”

“See what?”

“Use that brain of yours and think for yourself,” he said fiercely.

Corinne was a little speechless. She did not want to continue the conversation, so she asked, “Mister, when are your men coming to pick us up?”

Jeremy shoved his hands into his pockets and stared into the distant river. “No one is coming to pick us up.”

‘What? I remember him telling Anya that someone will come to pick us up soon!‘ thought Corinne.
