Corinne glanced at Sophia. “I’m being as courteous as I can. It’s just very inconvenient for me to take off my hat
and mask.”
Sophia frowned in confusion. “Why not?”
“Because I’m ugly. I wouldn’t want to scare you,” said Corinne bluntly.
Sophia was taken aback. “It’s not that bad, is it? We won’t be scared! Why would we care about your appearance
when your talent encompasses who you are? Let’s get to know each other a bit better!”
Corinne did not want to argue with Sophia anymore. She was just about to bid them goodbye when Jeremy said,
“Take them off.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne was stunned. “Mister Jeremy, our cooperation has officially ended, and I don’t think I am obliged to agree
to your whimsical demands. I have other things to take care of, so if you’ll excuse me!”
She immediately turned to leave when Jeremy grabbed her wrist and ordered, “Take. Them. Off.”
Corinne took a deep breath, knowing she could not escape. She looked at Jeremy with displeasure and said, “I’m
surprised you’d suspect me of stealing and insist on seeing my face after the end of our cooperation.”
Jeremy stared at her with eagle-like eyes. “Do you feel guilty? Why are you so scared to show me your true face?
Who are you?”
He remembered the first time he met Moon at the Newmoon Group. Corinne was also there, but she never seemed
to have appeared together with Moon. As he connected the dots to Corinne’s relationship with Xante and Aaron, a
sudden thought occurred to him, and he came to a shocking theory.
Corinne and Moon might be the same person.
That might be why Newmoon Group was so hesitant to let Moon attend the ribbon-cutting ceremony at the
beginning. They were probably afraid her true identity would be discovered!
Moreover, Moon’s stomach did not look like she simply gained weight.
Jeremy seemed to have found some clarity amid the confusion. However, he did not know what sort of feeling he
had at that moment. Was it joy or anger?
In any case, he stared closely at Corinne without letting her slip by him.
Corinne was unable to pull back her wrist. His grip was so tight that her wrist was hurting. It was clear to her that he
was acting that way because he was suspicious of her!
“Okay! If you are so adamant about seeing my face, I’ll take off my hat and mask to show you. You’ll have to let go
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof my hand first, though!”
Jeremy thought it over for a few seconds and looked up so he could signal his staff to block the exits. That way, she
could not run even if he let go of her.
Corinne massaged her numb wrist and said unhappily, “I’d like to put it on record that you have infringed on my
privacy to such an extent that you’re even forcing me to take off my hat and mask. I will no longer cooperate with
Holden Group from this point on!”
Jeremy did not seem to care about her quibble and raised his eyes coldly. “Take them off, then.”
Corinne had no choice but to raise her hand to take off her hat. Her long hair was then revealed. Then, she placed
her hand on the mask string beside her ear.
Her movements were unconsciously slow, and she was still a little reluctant to take them off.
Jeremy had an intensely intimidating look in his eyes.
