Chapter 856
Anya was stumped by Corinne’s question. No one ever asked her for the details of what happened that day, so she never felt the
need to come up with an intricate lie. ‘I might be exposed if I simply bluff my way through now...’
“Corinne, you sound like you don’t believe me. I’ve explained to you a thousand times that I don’t remember the details since it
happened so long ago. The same goes for Jeremy...”
Corinne smiled. “Now now, there’s no need to get so worked up over this, Miss Anya. I just couldn’t help but think how
dangerous it was for a small girl like you to be running around in the mountains like that. It was a good thing you didn’t meet any
bad guys. I shudder to think what would’ve happened then.”
Anya became upset. ‘She’s making it sound like I’m being petty.”
However, on the surface, she smiled kindly to show that she was not angry.
“I wasn’t worked up, Corinne. I really thought you didn’t believe me. And besides, you didn’t have to worry about child-me since
my family has a summer villa near the mountain. I’d sometimes sneak out to the mountain, and it was during one of these
escapades that I bump into the injured Jeremy...”
Corinne nodded trustingly. “I see! Can you describe for me what Jeremy looked like? He must’ve been quite young then.”
Jeremy was speechless at the subtle dig made by Corinne. ‘She’s making it sound like I’m very old right now. Wait... Is she put
off by how old I am now?”
Anya blushed and nodded. “Yeah... He was only 19 then, so he was quite young...”
“I bet he looked cuter than this unapproachable version of him now,” Corinne said with great interest. “Why don’t you describe
more about him to me, Miss Anya.”
The green veins in Jeremy’s forehead bulged.
“Sorry, but I’m not really good at describing people...” said Anya, trying to gloss over her lies.
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “You can just give me the gist of it-like the color of the clothing he wore that day.”
Anya’s face stiffened. ‘How the h*ll would I know? I wasn’t the one who saved him. I don’t even know what he looked like when
he was injured, let alone the color of the clothing he wore that day!’
In truth, she only passed by that spot after Jeremy had left and the guy who passed her the bracelet mistook her for Corinne.
She then got to know about who Jeremy was and how he came to get hurt from that guy, and that was how she was able to pass
herself off as the girl who saved Jeremy.
The first time Anya met Jeremy was when she went to look for him at his office with the bracelet in her hand. She planned to get
a little reward from him, but when she saw him coming out from his office...it was love at first sight.
The young Jeremy was handsome and stylish. He was even better looking than some of the male models out there. In fact, she
thought him even more attractive than Lucas, who she
used to think was the most handsome man in the world.
All it took was one look, and she swore to herself she would marry no one else but him.
However, all that would not help her in answering the question of what color of clothing. Jeremy was wearing on the day she
supposedly saved him.
A waving hand suddenly shook her out of her trance. Next came Corinne’s face.
“Hey! Earth to Miss Anya. What are you thinking about? Why aren’t you answering my question?”
