Chapter 1121

Corinne clenched her fists. She then quickly took out her phone to call Jeremy, who she previously had

no intention of ever contacting again.

Jeremy picked up soon enough, but he did not greet or say anything to her.

“Jeremy Holden, just what do you think you’re doing?” Corinne asked angrily.

“So that’s how you’re going to address me from now on? Is this your way of showing me you don’t want

to be with me anymore?” Jeremy asked raspily.

Corinne did not call him to talk about that!

“Mister Jeremy, we’re not kids anymore. Don’t you think it’s very childish of me to keep me under house

arrest just because you’re angry at me?”

“Heh. And here I thought you didn’t know I was angry at you,” replied Jeremy sarcastically.

Corinne tried to suppress her anger as she knew it would just make things worse.

“Call off your men! I need to go out.”

“For what?”

“Since when do I need to report to you every little detail of what I plan to do? Where’s my freedom in all

of this?”

“The moment you married me, you gave up your freedom. After all, it’s normal for a husband and wife

to keep a tight leash on each other,” replied Jeremy in a neutral tone.

“Jeremy Holden! We’re not legally married, so you have no right to take away my freedom!” shouted

Corinne, unable to hold back her anger anymore.

“Just stay at home. I’ll come back to visit you once I find the time,” he said coldly.

After that, he hung up the phone.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

Corinne was so furious that she nearly threw her phone down.

‘That b*stard! What right does he have to treat me like this? So this is his true color, huh? Oh, what a

fool I am to have fallen for his nice-guy act!’ thought Corinne, gritting her teeth. She then told herself to

calm down; it was more important to think of a way out than to mentally berate herself.

Meanwhile, at Newmoon Group, Aaron was drinking coffee. For some reason unknown to him, he was

feeling very anxious. He walked out of his office to look for Xante.

As soon as he pushed open his door, he saw a subordinate of his flirting with Annie, who—judging by

her laughing—did not seem to mind the least.

Aaron found this weird. In the past, she would have ignored any flirting coming her way. He narrowed

his eyes, curious as to why Annie would still work there after how he treated her.

The subordinate’s expression immediately became serious when he realized Aaron was staring at

them. He then cleared his throat, greeted Aaron, and took the files Annie prepared for him back to his

seat.

Annie was startled to see Aaron standing there too. She quickly got up and bowed to him. “Is there

anything I can do for you, Mister Aaron?” she said professionally.

Aaron smiled and walked over to her. “Not at the moment. But I must say, I’m quite surprised to see

you here.”

“I quite like the perks and benefits this job provides, so unless the company fires me, I have no reason

to resign,” replied Annie politely.

Aaron raised his eyebrow. “Won’t it be better for you to work at your uncle’s company? I’m sure he’ll

arrange for you to work in a better position with a higher salary. Plus, you won’t need to make coffee for

anyone there.”
