Lucas had experienced how stubborn Corinne could be, so he let the matter slide. He then sighed tiredly before sharply asking, "What did she call you just now?"
Edmund was intimidated by Lucas' stare. "Umm… She called me Edmund as usual…"
"Hmph!"
…
Anya knew there was a surveillance camera inside the elevator, so she reminded herself to tread cautiously to avoid leaving any dirt for Lucas to hold over her head.
Thus, she refrained from saying anything to Corinne while in the elevator, but as soon as they got out of the building and into the car, she said snarkily, "Corinne, you're really good at having men wrapped around your little finger, huh? Even Lucas can't escape that fate."
"You flatter me," said Corinne without bothering to look at her. She then yawned before saying to the driver, "Mister, can you please drop me off at the Holdens' first?"
Anya glared at Corinne vehemently. She hated how nonchalant she was being. "Corinne, if I've guessed correctly, you and Jeremy haven't registered your marriage yet, right?" she asked with a scoff.
Corinne's sleepy eyes suddenly widened. She narrowed her eyes and frowned at Anya.
Judging by Corinne's response, Anya knew she was right. She smiled mysteriously and continued, "I knew Jeremy would never get legally married to you. Oh, Corinne. So what if you've moved in with him? WIthout the marriage certificate, you're just a fake Missus Holden, and I'm pretty sure it won't be long until you're kicked out of the house."
Anya's words aroused Corinne's suspicion. "Oh? How did you know he'll never get legally married to me?" she asked seriously.
Anya was going to drag this out for as long as she could. That was the only way to make her happy.
"You want to know? Well, I'm not going to tell you. You should go ask Jeremy instead. But I don't think he'll tell you."
Corinne knew Anya was not going to tell her no matter how much she asked, so she just gave up. She turned her face away and closed her eyes to take a short nap.
…
By the time she reached home, it was already past two o'clock in the afternoon.
