Chapter 765
“Yes, Corinne?” said Anya as she turned.
Corinne raised her eyebrow and said, “If he’s thirsty, I’d highly suggest you bring him some water instead of a soft
drink. Soft drinks aren’t that thirst-quenching, and two, he doesn’t like them.”
A hint of hatred flashed across Anya’s eyes. “Is that so? But Jeremy specifically asked me to bring him some soft
drinks. If I didn’t know any better, Corinne, I would’ve thought you don’t really know him that well at all.”
“Alright, then. Don’t say I didn’t warn you,” said Corinne with a smirk after sipping her juice.

nothing to assuage the anger in her heart. Anya scoffed and left with the soft drink in her hand.
Seeing this, Lucas glanced worriedly at Corinne before he got up and followed Anya upstairs.
Jason immediately sat on the seat Lucas just vacated. He then picked up a plate of cut oranges and offered it to
Corinne. “Here, Corinne. Have some oranges. It’ll cool you down.”

the bed and looking tenderly at the half-unconscious, feverish Joey. He took a glance at the soft drink and said
coldly, “No, thanks. I don’t like soft drinks. You can have it instead.”

‘It’s getting late. That little rascal must be getting tired.’
“Jeremy, you should go
down to check on Corinne. I’ll stay here with Anya and Joey instead,” said Lucas lightly as he walked into the room.
