'That means she's been using the fake excuse of being my savior to keep me wrapped around her finger for the last ten years!' thought Jeremy.
Jeremy's anger was so intense that everyone present in the room could feel it washing over them.
Anya obviously felt the thickening tension in the air, so she instinctively turned to look at Jeremy. She was immediately greeted by his cold, cold eyes.
"Jeremy… Wha… What's the matter? Why are you looking at me like that?"
"Miss Anya, how many times did you bring me food then? And when did you bring them to me?" Jeremy asked in a cold, monotonous tone.
Anya averted her gaze out of guilt. Frowning, she answered, "I… I don't really remember… I probably brought you the food in the morning and at night…"
Jeremy looked down condescendingly at her. "Miss Anya, I'm only going to ask you once. Is it that you don't remember, or is it that you don't know at all?"
Anya realized she had given the wrong answer. "I… I really don't remember. It's been ten years, Jeremy. I was only ten, so how can I remember so many details?"
'What a joke! I've put up with all of her all these years out of guilt, and only now did I find out it was all a lie?' thought Jeremy.
Phoebe was starting to see what was happening. 'Sh*t! That b*tch Corinne is trying to get Anya to expose herself!'
No way was she going to let that happen! She was still hoping for Anya to marry Jeremy so she could gloat about it, and the only way for that to happen was to force Jeremy to marry Anya out of guilt!
Thinking of this, she immediately came to Anya's defense. "Jeremy, Anya's memory isn't all that great, so it's normal for her to have forgotten things that happened ten years ago. Surely you can't deny the fact that she saved you just because of some little missed details!"
