Jeremy's deep voice came from behind them, followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.
The Carews, Josephine, and her mother turned to look at him. All of them were shocked and awed by just how handsome he was, especially Sherlyn. This was not the first time she met Jeremy, but her heart would race whenever she met him.
'I was so close to marrying him! I would've been his wife if it weren't for Corinne.' The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. However, there was nothing she could do then but to watch Jeremy gracefully sit beside Corinne.
Jeremy even picked up Corinne's coffee and drank it nonchalantly. The way he behaved with Corinne was so intimate that Sherlyn could not help but go green with envy. Even Josephine stared at Jeremy dazedly.
Out of all the young women there, only Corinne seemed to be unperturbed by Jeremy's entrance. She simply glanced at him before turning her attention back to Josephine and her mother.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes at the unexpected visitors. "If your only aim is to come here to slander my wife, there's still time for you to leave. But if you continue to keep up what you were doing… Well, don't blame me for what I'm about to do."
His tone was calm, yet it sounded oppressive and ominous. His words bore deep into everyone's mind, sending chills up their spines.
The Carews knew just how protective Jeremy was of Corinne, so they dared not speak a word. However, that did not stop Sherlyn from staring dreamily at him.
Although Josephine's mother was cowed by the terrifying aura Jeremy was emitting, she was not about to give up easily.
"Mister Jeremy, I know it might be hard for you to accept all this, but I'm only telling the truth. Corinne wasn't a good girl in high school, and there's a chance she's lying to you."
Jeremy's eyes darkened as he said emotionlessly, "And as I said, I know better than anyone else whether she's a good person or not."
Josephine's mother was surprised to learn just how much Jeremy trusted Corinne. However, she was not about to back down because of that.
After thinking about it, she said, "Mister Jeremy, you must think Corinne was still pure on your first night with her, right? Well, let me tell you something. The medical field is so technologically advanced now that some sl*ts can repair their 'down there' with surgery to make their husband think they've been chaste all their lives."
