Thus, Rosie smiled gently and said nicely, “I am truly sorry, Corinne. It’s a misunderstanding. Why didn’t you tell us earlier that you’re allergic to silver? If you’d said it earlier, this wouldn’t happen.” Corinne raised her brow and replied, “Miss Rosie, do you know you nearly made me a criminal just. because you misunderstood me? Are you trying to blame me for not proving my innocence earlier?
Rosie smiled sheepishly. “Uhh… Corinne, that’s not what I mean…”
Corinne chuckled. “Miss Rosie, I don’t care what you’re trying to say. Just don’t forget that you’re paying for all of our expenses today.”
Despite the bitterness she felt, Rosie could only nod ‘understandingly. “Yes. Don’t worry, Corinne. It’s my fault. I’m willing to accept the punishment. Everything is on me today. Think of it as my compensation to you.”
Just as Corinne wanted to say something, someone pulled her.
Jeremy’s face appeared right in front of her and gave her a fright.
He leaned over to examine her ear and grabbed her hand to look at her swollen palm. With a sullen face, he asked the doctor, “Where’s the antiallergic agent?”
It frightened the doctor. “Er… Mister Jeremy, I don’t have those with me. I need to go get it from my office!” Copyright Nôv/el/Dra/ma.Org.
“What are you waiting for?” Jeremy asked impatiently.
“Yes, sir!” The doctor rushed out with his medical aid box.
After that, Jeremy lifted Corinne in his arms as he strode out of the changing room, uncaring if she would allow him.
Annie regained her senses and ran after them. “Uncle Jeremy, wait for me!”
By then, Zeke smiled cynically and nudged Gerald’s arm. “Hey, Gerald, do you think Jeremy has fallen in love?”
Gerald’s aloof expression was still attached as he said, “Why are you asking me?”
Zeke exclaimed, “I mean, you have experience in this! Weren’t you mesmerized by the young miss. from the Hoppers?”
The question must have touched a nerve since Gerald’s stone-cold expression darkened. “Shut the f*ck up.”
He walked out, leaving the others behind him.
Zeke shrugged. “Jason, look at him. He panicked!”
Jason smiled. “You’re the one who ignited his bomb!”
Only Rosie and Sunny were left in the changing room after everyone else had left.
“Rosie, let me take you back to the room to take a rest.”
“Sunny, I think we’ve underestimated her,” said Rosie, realizing her plan had fallen apart horribly.” She’s not as simple as she looks. She’s way stronger than we imagined!”
Sunny furrowed his eyebrows as he grumbled, “You don’t believe in Corinne? Did you see how her ear was after wearing the ear stud?”
Rosie sighed sarcastically. “I have no idea how she did it. Maybe she used some tricks just to prove her innocence. It’s not weird if she got some weird tricks up her sleeve since she used to live in the countryside.”
Sunny did not agree to this. “I think you’re overthinking it. Corinne would never hurt you
intentionally. She’s not that kind of person.”
Rosie was stunned by what Sunny had said. “Sunny..what did you say?”
All this while, Sunny loathed Corinne, so much so that he hated her more than Rosie hated her. She found it hard to believe Sunny was speaking for Corinne.
With sheer determination in his eyes, he said, “Corinne is my friend now, and I believe in her.”
Rosie was shocked. “Friend? Sunny… When did you two become friends? Why didn’t I know about this?”
