Chapter 557
Jeremy looked down at her, staring coldly. “I asked you to leave when we were at the hospital, but you didn’t. I
asked you to get into my car at the entrance of the restaurant, but you refused. I saved you, yet you repaid my
kindness by being ungrateful and trying to hit me? I think you might only learn to be careful if you were killed by
those people just now!”
“Who says I was being ungrateful? I didn’t know it was you who came just now!” Corrine frowned as she suddenly
realized something was wrong. “Hold on. What do you mean? You seem to have long known someone wanted to
attack me.”
Jeremy’s silence implied that he admitted it. It seemed like he did not wish to bother telling her too much. He just
turned around and walked out of the narrow alley.
Corinne did not get an answer, so she quickly caught up to him and asked again, “Do you know who’s the Sir those
people spoke about?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Mm-hmm.” Jeremy lowered his head to lit a cigarette and hummed indifferently without looking at her at all.
“Tell me, who is it?” Corinne wanted to know very badly who had such a huge grudge against her that the person
wanted to take her life!
“Your boss.” Jeremy’s voice was flat.
Corinne stopped in her tracks, feeling shocked and very confused. “It’s Lucas? Did he hire someone to kill me?
Why?”
Jeremy was walking slightly ahead of her. He took a puff of his cigarette, then said slowly,” Anya was once bullied by
two classmates in middle school. The two girls vanished into thin air later and are still not found today.”
Corinne was dumbfounded.
What Jeremy meant was that Lucas did not hesitate to have someone get rid of the people who bullied his precious
sister to seek justice for her.
Therefore, Jeremy already could tell that Lucas wanted to kill her when they were at the hospital. That was why he
called her away, giving her a chance to first leave. It was also because he was sure she would get in trouble on her
way home that he asked her to get in hist car in front of the restaurant. However, she did not cooperate with him at
all.
“Is Mister Lucas so merciless?”
Corinne was not willing to believe her half-brother was such a heartless man, even though she would not
acknowledge him as her brother.
Jeremy looked askance at her. “Do you think Lucas is some good guy?”
Corinne felt silent.
She never thought Lucas was a good person, but she did not expect him to be so extreme. He would go to the
lengths of killing people to help his precious sister avenge her.
“Also, stay away from Jason as well in the future!” Jeremy added indifferently.
What did this have to do with Jason? Corinne was dazed, then she frowned. “Mister Jeremy, do you think nobody
other than you is a good person in the world?”
Jeremy shot her a glance coldly, then said in a cold and deep voice, “I’m not a good person

Corinne snickered. “So I see you know it yourself!”
There was a cigarette in between Jeremy’s well-defined fingers, and he was surrounded by smoke. He turned his
head a little, squinting at her. “Whether I am a good person or not depends on who I am dealing with.”
At first, Corinne was still laughing, but she got so uncomfortable as Jeremy stared at her meaningfully, she could
only smile.
It seemed that Jeremy was not expecting her to understand. He sneered, puffing out a cloud of smoke while looking
ahead.
Looking at his side profile as he smoked, Corinne felt he was handsome, but she frowned. ” Mister Jeremy, you
should smoke less. This is already your sixteenth cigarette today!”
Jeremy was slightly dazed. He stopped in his tracks a little, then looked toward her. His deep gaze was
unfathomable. “What did you say?”
Corinne suddenly regained her senses and figured out that what she said was not quite right. She turned her head
and said after a pause, “I didn’t say anything!”
She sped up as she wanted to put distance between herself and Jeremy and go their ways!
Jeremy, however, raised his hand to block her path. Squinting his deep, fathomless eyes, he asked again, “Why did
you count how many cigarettes I’ve had, Miss Corrine? Were you caring about me?”
