Jeremy did not tease her anymore, pulled Corinne gently to his side, and protected her under his arms. Since Lucas
had spoken rudely to his woman earlier, he looked up at the man and stood up for Corinne. “I hope the Riveras will
do better than to become the very definition of the word‘ ungrateful‘. How dare you point your finger at the girl
who once helped your old man?”
