Chapter 330

As soon as she stepped out of the fast food restaurant, Corinne heard a stampede coming from behindher. She turned to look back and saw the same group of people chasing after her. Moreover, somereporters had received a tip–off of her whereabouts and were rushing over to where she was with theircameras held up high.

Both Jeremy and Corinne thought it would be best if they forgo the taxi because taxi drivers wereknown to be sensitive to the subject of scammers who cheat people out of their money by pretending toget into an accident with their cars. It would be disastrous for Jeremy and Corinne if their taxi driverjoined the angry mob.

“Run, Mister!” Corinne grabbed Jeremy’s hand, and the two of them started running away together. Shewas not afraid of the angry mob, but she found them bothersome and difficult since she could not doanything about them.

Besides, there was Jeremy’s status to think about. The

livelihood of the entire Holden Group might be affected should he receive a hit to his reputation.Corinne definitely did not want to implicate him in a matter as trivial as this.

The two of them ran into the nearby alley with the angry mob and the reporters still chasing after them.At the most critical moment, Jeremy dragged Corinne to hide behind a pile of junk, and the two of themstayed there until there were no signs of the angry mob or the reporters.

Corinne breathed a sigh of relief. She was panting slightly with the physical exertion.

Jeremy looked down at her and asked, “Why did we have to run away? You shouldn’t run after eating.What if you get a tummy ache?”

Corinne blinked at him. “Well, are you suggesting we fight them instead of running away?” she askedhelplessly.

Jeremy poked her cheeks which were flushed red from all the running she did.

“It’s not as if you’ll be doing all the fighting. In fact, you just have to watch from the sideline.”

Corinne frowned. “Mister, I don’t want you to…”

However, before she finished speaking, she heard someone shouting excitedly, “I found them! They’reover there.”

“Hurry up! Don’t let them get away!”

“Stop! Don’t run!”

Corinne knew they were in deep trouble. “Oh no, they found us! Run, Mister! I’ll take care of them.”

‘What?‘ Jeremy was about to grab her hand, but he stopped and frowned when he heard what shesaid.

“I’m not running away without you!”

Corinne could not run anymore. It was just as Jeremy said — she should not have run after eating, andshe was feeling a little pain in her stomach.

“No! I’ll stay here and lead them away from you. What are you still standing there for? Run!”

Jeremy’s eyes darkened. He was not happy with Corinne’s plan even though he understood she meantwell.

‘Who does she take me for? Does she really think I’ll leave her alone to face those people?‘ thoughtJeremy.

Corinne started pushing Jeremy away, but no matter how hard she pushed, he just would not budge.

At that very moment, Tommy drove to this alley. He stepped on the brake sharply, turned the cararound, and deftly lowered the car window. “Sir, this way! Quick. Get in the car with Ma’am!”

Jeremy grabbed Corinne’s hand and the two of them quickly walked to the car. Once they were inside,Tommy spared no hesitation in flooring the gas pedal and drove them the hell out of there.

The angry mob ran over, only to see the top–of–the–line

Mercedes–Benz SLR McLaren driving away. This only served to make them angrier than ever.

“The car that the scammer girl got on just now is the limited edition Mercedes–Benz, right?”

“She must’ve used all the money she cheated out of people to buy that car. That boy toy of hers mustbe in for the money as well. D*mn it, this world has gone crazy!”

“Yeah, it’s so not fair. That scammer girl is living the high life while we good citizens are stuck living inthe rat race.”

“Let’s all post the pictures we have on the Internet to expose them!”

“Yeah! We should dox that boy toy of hers too so that both of them get their punishment. We have themasses on our side. Down with the scammers!”
