Francine stuck out her tongue and pretended to vomit. She hated nothing more than a girl who acted like she was
innocent.
Annie took a deep breath and squeezed out a smile. “Okay, Mister Aaron. If that’s the case, I’ll book a room in
Hillmond Hotel for you.”
“Thanks for helping, Miss Annie,” said Aaron with a smile.
“You’re welcome.”
After that, Annie went out to make a call to Hillmond Hotel since she was too lazy to download an app just to book a

After Annie went out, Corinne picked up the knife Xante left and threw it at Aaron.
Aaron did not try to dodge the incoming knife. Fortunately, the knife only brushed past his ear before it embedded
itself into the wall.
His girlfriend jumped up in fright, as did Francine.
‘I never knew she knew how to throw a knife!’ she thought in wide-eyed shock.
Aaron hugged her girlfriend and said smilingly to Corinne, “Boss, what was that for? You’re only going to make
yourself sad if I was hit by the knife.”
Corinne frowned. She had enough of him. “Get lost! I don’t want to see your face anymore!”
Aaron shrugged. He got up with his girlfriend and bowed to Corinne. “Fine, we’ll be leaving now. I’ll leave Xante with
you.” Then, he muttered to himself, “I wonder if Miss Annie managed to book us a hotel room…”
After Aaron led her fragile-looking girlfriend out of the room, Francine turned to look at Corinne with a frown.
“Ahem! Um… Corinne, has your temper always been this explosive? Do you throw knives at people whenever
you’re upset?”
Corinne gave her a side-eye. “What? Is this your first day of knowing me?”
Francine sported a lopsided smile, but her trembling voice betrayed her. “O—Of course not. I… I still remember
what you did on the first day we met each other.”
On the first day they met each other, Corinne dunked Francine’s head into the toilet bowl.

thought Francine.
“Then need you ask?” said Corinne lightly.
“You’re not going to do the same thing to my brother in the future, right?” asked Francine anxiously.
Corinne was a little taken aback. She looked up at Francine with an inscrutable expression. After a brief silence, she
said, “Don’t tell me you seriously think I can win in a fight against your brother.”
After thinking it over, Francine said, “You’re right. You can’t win in a fight against Jeremy. But he’s the type that’ll
never hit a woman, so what if you use that to your advantage?”
