Chapter 305
Annie pulled a chair, sat down, and blinked guiltily. “Nothing! I don’t really know! It’s not convenient for you to eat, so how about
you let me feed you?”
“So you’re not going to tell me?” Corinne frowned slightly at her.
Annie always viewed Corinne as her idol, and she was afraid that her idol would be unhappy and ignore her. She thought about it
for a bit, and she did not dare to keep anything from
Corinne.
“Well, when I came here, I saw him escorting Anya out of the hospital at the entrance, and then...she got into his car.”
Corinne’s expression turned somewhat gloomy. She remained silent, and her lips seemed to quirk unnaturally in a bitter
manner.
Annie became a little nervous. “Don’t be angry! Please don’t divorce him just because of that! Give him another chance...”
Corinne snapped back from her senses and looked calmly at Annie. “I’m not angry. It’s just... Why shouldn’t we get a divorce if
there aren’t any feelings between us?”
Annie pursed her lips depressingly. “If you divorce him, I won’t be able to have any relationship with you! I don’t want that other
woman to be my aunt! I won’t accept anyone unless it’s you!”
Corinne looked into Annie’s eyes and saw her childlike stubbornness. She said calmly to her, “Your uncle is rich,
powerful, and handsome. He can easily find someone better than me. When that time comes, you’ll learn to like her, too.”
Annie said resolutely, “But I don’t want them! No one is better than you!”
Corinne then said, “But Miss Anya is—”
Annie interrupted her and shook her head repeatedly with a look of aversion on her face. “Don’t mention her name! The last thing
I want is for her to be with Uncle Jeremy!”
Though the Riveras and the Holdens had enmity with each other, there did not seem to be anything similar between the Riveras
and the Levines.
Corinne narrowed her eyes in confusion. “You seem to hate Anya a lot. Why is that?”
Annie explained unhappily, “I just don’t like the sick way she carries herself! She saved my uncle once when she was a child, but
she had him on emotional blackmail for so many years, and he’s super annoyed by her!”
Corinne cocked her eyebrow. “Aren’t they on good terms?”
Annie’s complexion became indescribably complicated. “I... I don’t know for sure, but he treats her differently than he treats other
people. That’s part of the reason why everyone thinks that they’re on really good terms with each other...”
Corinne nodded in agreement. “You’re right, he does treat her differently, and it’s pretty obvious.”
Jeremy was genuinely panicked when Anya called him for help, and she could see that he really cared for Anya when she saw
him pat Anya’s shoulder to calm the latter’s frightened

emotions. He even spoke to Anya in an extremely soft tone as if he was worried that his voice would come off as scary.
Jeremy never had that sort of patience before.
Annie’s big eyes were filled with worry as she saw Corinne in deep thought. “But he treats you even more differently! You’re the
only one whom he tolerates the most!”
‘Is that so? He might be tolerant of me, but that’s because he’s using me to deal with his elders. He has to be tolerant because
he’s worried that I might not cooperate! All I’m doing is
reading too much into it if I misconstrued his attitude toward me as being something special.‘
After finishing her soup, Corinne tried to persuade Annie to go home because there was not enough space for Annie to rest here
with Nancy. Jeremy did not come back after sending Anya out of the hospital, and he never showed up again even when the
next morning came.
After the intravenous drip was administered that afternoon, the nurse came in and removed the gauze from her hands. The
swelling on her hands had subsided, but there was still a little redness all around. The doctor informed her that she would be fine
as long as she took some antihistamines after leaving the hospital.
The police then came in with an arrest warrant and said, According to the results given by the doctor, your physical condition is
healthy enough for you to be discharged. We are now officially notifying you that you’re under arrest!”
