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.”
Corinne 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.

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 of 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.
