‘Jeremy’s usually very cold to strangers, but the baby bump will attract too much attention. Then again, Newmoon Group will
face the risk of bankruptcy if Holden Group doesn’t pay the remaining balance...’
Corinne did not have the heart to sit idly as the company she took so much effort to build went bankrupt. Not to mention, she had
a kid to feed, so she could not lose the company!
However, no matter how much brainpower she used on the problem, she could not come up with a perfect solution.
Suddenly, the doorbell rang.
She snapped back to the present and thought with alarm, ‘Who could it be?’
No one would come except for the delivery man, who would come every other day to deliver groceries and other essentials, but
he already came yesterday!
Corinne frowned as she watched the servant open the door. She sighed with relief when she saw the servant bowing.
‘It’s just Jason. But what’s he doing here again? The villa is a four-hour return journey from the city. Doesn’t he think it’s
troublesome to visit me? Besides, I’ve already told him to keep the visits to a minimum and that I’ll contact him if there’s
anything.’
Corinne knew Jason would come up on Jeremy’s radar too if his men caught wind of all the unusual and frequent visits to the
villa. Jeremy was doing everything necessary to catch her!
‘What the heck is he doing here? His presence will only cause me trouble,’ thought Corinne.
“Look what I brought you, Corinne,” said Jason with a gentle smile and a takeout box in his hand.Books Chapters Are Daily

Corinne frowned. She was already in a bad mood, but Jason coming over to visit for such a trivial reason made it even worse.
“Why are you here again?” she asked with annoyance.
Jason pouted. “What do you mean, why am I here again? The last time I came was a month ago. Besides, I thought you might
have some cravings, so I brought you your favorite cajun crawfish.”
“Do you think I’m willing to risk being found by Jeremy for some stupid cajun crawfish?”
Jason walked over, put down the takeout box on the coffee table, and sat on the sofa.
“Don’t worry. I was very careful, so I don’t think Jeremy’s men will notice anything suspicious. Corinne, it might not seem like it,
but I’m actually more worried than you about the whole thing. Trust me when I say I don’t take your protection lightly,” he said
with a smile.
Corinne glanced at him. “You’re more worried than me? Why? Is it because you’re scared the Holdens would come down hard
on your family if they knew you’re hiding me? Actually... I think it’s very risky for you too. That’s why I told you you don’t have to
hide me here. I can just rent a place in some backwater town.”
Jason shook his head. “Nonsense, Corinne. The fact that I’m willing to help you means I’m willing to take the risk. What I’m trying
to say is, I’m worried that Jeremy will take you away if they find you. I’ll never get to see you again if that happens.”
Corinne was speechless.
Jason touched the outside of the takeout box. The cajun crawfish was already cold since the journey there took two hours. He
gestured for a servant to take and heat the cajun crawfish.
After that, he looked at Corinne, who looked troubled. “What’s the matter? Are you in a bad mood? Is it because you’re getting
bored here?”
