Chapter 828
Anya quickly composed herself and pretended to be clueless again. "What are you talking about? It's fine if you
don't want to drink the juice my mom made for you, but do you really have to slander her like that?"
Corinne straightened herself up and chuckled softly. "Then why did you come running to the bathroom to throw up
after you drank the juice your mother so kindly made?"
"I didn't throw up! I was using the toilet as normal people do!"
Corinne knew Anya would not admit it. "Is that so? Should I ask your grandparents to send the pomegranate juice
to the lab to see if there's anything else added to it?"
Anya started to panic. "That's enough bullsh*t, Corinne! Let me tell you something. This is my house, and no one in
my family will ever believe your words over mine!"

Anya knew she was in the wrong, so she did not dare to provoke Corinne further. Gritting her teeth, she tried to
change the topic, "What is it that you want, Corinne? Isn't it enough that you stole Jeremy away from me? You're
trying to get close to my family now, too?"
Corinne walked casually toward her. "First of all, Jeremy was never yours, so I didn't steal him from you. Second of
all, I only came because your family insisted I visit them, so it wasn't me who was trying to get close to them."
Anya's eyes widened in anger. "Jeremy was mine! He would've married me if you didn’t come into the picture.
Corinne Carew, you're nothing but a homewrecker!"
Corinne scoffed. "As if I'd ever do something like that. Besides, your mother was the bona fide homewrecker seeing
as how she's your father's wife now. Don’t you think so?"
"What... What the heck are you talking about?" Anya looked at Corinne in alarm, wondering how Corinne knew
about what Phoebe did in the past.
At that moment, they heard the servants whispering outside, "Mister Jeremy is here!"
The two girls looked out the window and saw a sports car driving into the mansion's compound. Once the car was
parked, a tall, handsome man got out and strode toward the mansion.
Leaving Corinne aside, Anya ran out to greet the man while the former walked leisurely back to the dining room.
As soon as Jeremy stepped into the foyer, Anya greeted him excitedly." Hey, Jeremy! We're just having dinner. Why
don't you join us?"
Jeremy glanced at her before going into the dining room. There, he scanned the group coldly before his eyes
landed on Corinne, who was eating her food with gusto.
He walked over to where she was sitting while nodding to all the elders on his way there as a form of greeting.
Finally, he stood behind Corinne and pulled out the napkin to help her wipe her mouth.

Anya, who had come in after Jeremy, could not help but feel jealous of Corinne. 'I should be the one Jeremy loves,
not that country bumpkin over there.'
Corinne was used to Jeremy treating her like a kid, so she was unfazed by him wiping her mouth. "I'm not done
eating yet. We can leave after dinner."
Jeremy frowned. He did not want to stay a minute longer than he had to.
"We can have another dinner at home."
Hearing this, Cedric could not help but feel Jeremy had come to steal Corinne from him. "Hey, you, Holden. What's
the rush? Didn't you hear her say she wants to finish her dinner first?"
Jeremy's eyebrows furrowed. He glanced at Cedric and told himself to keep his temper in check since the other
man was much older than him.
As for Lucas, he decided to behave courteously toward Jeremy for Corinne's sake. "Corinne hasn't had her fill yet,
so why don't you let her eat more? In the meantime, you can have dinner with us too."
