Chapter 403

Corinne looked at Anya in confoundment as the latter lay on the ground and put on a dramatic act.

At that moment, Lucas-the figure who had just walked out of the villa-rushed over and pushed Corinneaway from Anya. She asked coldly, “Go away! What are you trying to do to Anya?

Then, without waiting for Corinne to offer an explanation, he bent down in distress and helped Anya upfrom the ground. Are you okay?”

A man’s strength would always be greater than that of a girl, so regardless of how stable Corinne’scenter of gravity was, she nearly fell over after being pushed by Lucas. She staggered a step back andtried to stand firm again, but she unfortunately slipped on the cobblestone path that was made for thevilla and failed to steady herself as she fell into the small fish pond next to her.

The water in the fish pond was not that deep, but because the villa was facing the mountain and thushad low night temperatures, anyone who fell into the water suddenly would be able to feel the bitingcold. She propped her body up and poked her head out of the pool, looking like a drowning rat.

Just as she was about to get up, a tall figure suddenly appeared beside the fish pond and jumped downbefore wading through the water to reach her as soon as possible. The person stretched out his longarms and then carried her up completely. It was none other than Jeremy.

Corinne shivered. “It’s…s-s-so…c-c-c-c-cold…”

Jeremy took off the jacket he was wearing, wrapped her wet little body tightly, then lifted her in a bridalcarry, and brought her out of the pond. “You’re all right now. You won’t feel cold anymore if you go backin and change your clothes”

On the edge of the pond, Lucas glanced at the dripping -wet Corinne in Jeremy’s arms, noticing that hehad a hint of sarcasm in his eyes. He stepped forward and stood in front of Jeremy, saying, “Before youleave, I just want you to know

that I merely pushed her away to prevent her from hurting Anya. I didn’t think she’d make the most ofthe situation and fall in the water too!”

Corinne frowned because Lucas was trying to suggest that she threw herself into the water on purposeto try and draw

sympathy from others. ‘Your sister is the one who loves pretending. As expected, you only see whatyou want to see because she’s your sister!’

Jeremy looked coldly at Lucas and narrowed his eyes in displeasure. “That’s not a good enoughreason to use brute force on a girl!”

Lucas was in no hurry to argue with Jeremy and merely said, Did you know that your woman forcedAnya to kneel just to kick her? If I hadn’t come over and stopped her, she might have stomped onAnya’s face too!”

Jeremy hesitated slightly, looked at the pale Anya, and asked with a frown, “Are you feeling all right?Were you hurt?”

Anya leaned against her brother and trembled in shock as she shook her head. “I’m fine, Jeremy.Please don’t blame

Corinne. It was my fault. Corinne only did that because she

was angry…

Jeremy lowered his eyebrows and looked down at the wet girl in his arms. He then asked her in a deepvoice, “What’s going on?”

Corinne was stunned by his reaction and calmly broke free from his embrace. “There aren’t anysurveillance cameras here, and nothing I say will carry any weight, but I won’t let anyone frame me forsomething that I didn’t do. If you don’t believe me either, then go ahead and make a police report sothey can arrest me again!”

After saying that, she stormed off in the direction of the villa and wanted to warm herself up as soon aspossible. She would get sick if she fell into the water and was blown by the cold night wind, and riskingher health for the sake of putting on a show was something she would never be willing to do.

If Jeremy did not believe her, then so be it. She did not see any reason for her to argue with him aboutit!
