Chapter 571
Corinne could not wrap her head around it.
Sunny chose the pair of small walnut sculptures in his hand. He said, “I am not related to my grandparents by blood, but they’ve
been quite good to me all these years. They are just not too nice to my sister.”
Corinne was still spacing out. Sunny thought she was worried about paying for him in advance, so he seriously promised her,
“Don’t worry. I’ll pay you back! My brother said he’ll restore my cards’ limits after 1 pass all my subjects.”
Corinne regained her senses and immediately burst out laughing. “You might as well just tell me straight away that you won’t
return the money to you, then!”
Sunny frowned. “Corinne, don’t look down on me. I’ll be able to pass them sooner or later!”
Corinne did not care about his results. After giving it a thought, he said, “I can help you pay for the gift, and you don’t have to
repay me! However, you have to promise to do one thing as a trade.”
Sunny looked at him with his eyes widened. “What do you want me to promise you?”
Corinne said, “Take me to your grandfather’s birthday party tomorrow!”
Sunny was stunned, feeling very confused. “Why would you want to attend my grandfather’s birthday party?
Corinne said, “I’m curious and bored, and I just want to attend a party to have fun! What do you say?”
After Sunny gave it a thought, he said, “Alright! Deal! I’ll take you!”
Both of them had reached an agreement. Corinne then paid and bought the pair of small walnut sculptures for Sunny. It was not
expensive, but it was not cheap either. It was about 150. dollars.
When both of them walked out of the antique store with the gift that was wrapped, a black Mercedes-Benz MPV happened to pull
up at the entrance. The car was a limited edition and was equivalent to a certain man’s identity.
As soon as Corinne saw that car, her heart sank for a moment. She could not help but herself, ‘It’s a small world. How can I
bump into him here as well?’
The driver got out and opened the door respectfully. Then, Jeremy got out of the car in an elegant and relaxed manner,
stretching his tall figure and having extraordinary air about him.
“Jeremy!” Sunny was very surprised to see him appearing there.
Jeremy shot a glance at Sunny and hummed indifferently as an acknowledgment. After that, he fixed his cold, fathomless gaze
on Corinne.
“Why are the two of you here?” asked Jeremy.
Sunny answered honestly, “I’m here to buy a birthday gift for my grandfather. Corinne’s working at my brother’s company now. I
saw that she had nothing to do, so I asked her to come along with me!”
Corinne was speechless. ‘Hmph! Who has nothing to do? This brat made it sound so simple!’
Jeremy looked at Corinne with an unfathomable gaze that seemed to exude a hint of dissatisfaction. Then, he asked Sunny in an
indifferent tone, “How did you get here?”
Sunny said, “We took a cab here!”
Jeremy squinted. “Wait for me then. I’ll give both of you a lift later.”
Of course, Sunny was more than happy when he heard that he did not have to pay for a cab. ” Sure! Jeremy, why are you here?
Are you also here to buy something?”
“Mm-hmm.” The man did not say anything else. He put his hands in his pockets and entered the antique store in big strides.
Just as Sunny wanted to follow Jeremy into the store. He thought of something, and he turned to look at Corinne. Seeing that
she was looking a little dazed, he waved his hand in front of her eyes. “Hey! What are you thinking about?”
