Chapter 760
Jeremy was still hugging Corinne, so he could not hold Joey. Instead, he said coldly to Anya,” Why don’t you bring
Joey to the guest room? It’s not good for him to be out and about when he has a fever.”
Anya was angered by Jeremy choosing Corinne over Joey. “Jeremy, aren’t you going to give Joey a hug? He’s been
crying for you nonstop. Oh, I get it now. You’re worried about Corinne getting jealous, aren’t you?”
She then turned to Corinne and pleaded pitifully, “Corinne, won’t you let Joey have some time with his father? He
really needs him right now…”
Jeremy was about to say something, but Corinne beat him to it. “Hey, I’m not the one keeping him from Joey. He’s a

She leaned lazily against Jeremy and crossed her legs, treating him like a human-shaped armchair. “You surprised
me today, Miss Anya. I’ve always thought you’re a fragile woman, but it took you no time to run over her with Joey
in your arms. Why, it hasn’t even been a hot minute after Jeremy hung up on you.”
Anya found it harder to hide the hatred she had for Corinne. She forced herself to squeeze out a smile. “Well, one
learns how to become stronger after one becomes a mother. Which is something you wouldn’t know, Corinne.
Since you’re not a mother yourself.”
‘Oh, please! As if she deserves to be called a mother!’ thought Corinne. She broke out in a mocking smile as she
stood up from Jeremy’s lap. “Oh, Miss Anya. Your words have so moved me. How can I keep little Joey away from
his father? Here, let his father carry him.”
She then turned to look at Jeremy with her eyebrow raised. “Mister, what are you still waiting there for? Your kid is
crying for you!”
Instead of moving, Jeremy simply stared at Corinne with narrowed eyes.
After Corinne got up, Anya immediately ran up to Jeremy with Joey in her arms.
“Jeremy, Joey really, really needs you. He’s been calling for you the whole time you were away.
Jeremy looked at Joey with a frown and said impatiently to Anya, “Like I said, you should bring him to the guest
room first. Me carrying him won’t cure him of his fever. All the windows are open on his floor. Aren’t you afraid that
the cold will make his fever worse?” This shocked Anya. Yes, it was true he always treated her coldly, but never had
he ever spoken to her impatiently. ‘It’s all that stupid b*tch’s fault!’ she thought.
Anya placed Joey on the sofa before taking out a bracelet from her pocket.

on you to get me out of any difficulties as long as I come to you with this bracelet. You swore you’d protect me at all
costs,” said Anya while wiping away her tears.
She then placed the bracelet on top of Jeremy’s palm. “I know you’re with Corinne now and have no time for me
anymore…so I’m giving this bracelet back to you. I promise you I won’t bother you anymore…”
Jeremy’s face changed when he saw the bracelet in his hand. That bracelet used to belong to his late mother, and
he had kept it with him all throughout his childhood.
Jeremy was found by his men on the seventh day after Anya saved him, while she was nowhere to be seen by then.
He wanted to thank her, so he ordered one of his men to remain at the spot. to wait for Anya to come back and to
give her the bracelet, along with the message for her to come to him for help whenever she was troubled.
