Corinne looked at Lilin with interest. "Huh? What are you talking about? What's different?"
Lilin had an expression of surprise on her face. "Zachary's attitude toward you is far different from his attitude toward Sophia!"
Corinne was very interested in this topic. She rested her chin in her palm and wiggled her eyebrows. "Oh? Is that so? How is it different? Tell me more, I want to hear it!"
Jeremy wanted to slam the table. He would have picked Corinne up and sent her away if he was able to use his legs.
"Corinne! You…"
"Shh!" Corinne raised a finger to her lips, shooting him a look to rest his worries before turning back to Lilin and saying, "Please continue."
Lilin was very happy to talk with Corinne.
"It's just… Zachary obviously cares about you while he's very indifferent toward Sophia. He rarely talks to her first, and his response to her is always very cold. I don’t know why she insists on keeping a man who clearly doesn't love her by her side."
Corinne was very satisfied with her answer. "Yes, why does she insist on keeping a man who doesn't love her by her side? Maybe she's a masochist."
Lilin shrugged. "Who knows! All I can say for sure is that it's a lose-lose situation."
Corinne smiled. "She 's your sister, but you seem to hate her more than me."
Suddenly, a small waving hand appeared in front of her, pulling her out of her thoughts.
"Miss, why aren't you saying anything? What are you thinking of?"
Corinne shook her head. "It's nothing! Thank you for letting me know that he's here. Otherwise, the two of us wouldn't be able to sit and talk like this!"
As she spoke, she smiled gently at Jeremy, who looked back at her sullenly.
Lilin turned red with shame. "I'm sorry, Miss. It's all because of my family that you and Zachary were separated for so long. I deeply apologize on behalf of my dad. I know you may hate him, but I still want to put in a few good words for him. He might have a very explosive temper, but he's not really evil. He only did all those hurtful things because Sophia would always play the victim."
