Chapter 531
It had not been a few days since the last similar incident happened and now Corinne had to go through it again?
She looked contemptuously at Anya, hating her with every fiber of her being.
“There’s no limit to how shameless this woman can be! How can she still think of herself when
her child is hurt!’
Although she did not like Anya, it did not mean she would pass on that hate to her innocent child. “That poor kid
must be in a lot of pain/ He probably doesn’t understand why it’s hurting
so much either.’
Instead of calling out on Anya’s lies, Corinne quickly called for an ambulance. After giving the operator the address,
she hung up the phone, and only then did she say, “The waiter was the one who accidentally tripped, causing the
soup to splash all over your kid. I tried to catch the bowl but I was too late. After that, the waiter legged out of the
room ’cause he was afraid of what was going to happen to him.”

Anya looked at her in disbelief. “Corinne, how can you lie like that? I saw with my own eyes you snatched the bowl
from the waiter’s hand and threw it across the room at Joey. That waiter being falsely accused by you! You’ve
crossed the line this time!”

Corinne was getting more and more annoyed at Anya’s hypocrisy so she coldly said, “Miss Anya, why don’t you tend
to Joey first? He’s crying out in pain, for god’s sake.”
Anya’s face stiffened before breaking out in another uncontrollable sob. “Are you accusing me of not caring about
my son? How can you stand there and pretend to be worried about him when you were the one who caused him to
be like this? Is this how you repay my kindness for inviting you to lunch? I can’t believe I used to think you were a
nice person.”
Corinne was tired of Anya’s acting so she simply ignored her.
Seeing that Corinne was not going to pay her any more attention, Anya tugged at Jeremy’s sleeves and said,
“Jeremy, what should we do about Joey? Oh, my poor child!”
Jeremy calmly checked to see if Joey was hurt anywhere else and was relieved to discover that he was not. After
that, he scooped him up and said to Anya, “Don’t panic. Let’s bring him to the hospital first.”
Anya nodded tearfully and said between hiccups, “Okay. Let’s go to the hospital.”
Corinne blocked Jeremy from leaving and said, “I’ve already called the ambulance and they’ll be here soon. It’ll be
faster for you to wait here than to drive to the hospital yourself.”
Jeremy simply ignored her and walked past her quickly with Joey in his arms. Anya followed behind but she did not
forget to throw Corinne a victorious smile before turning her nose up
in the air.
A chill ran up Corinne’s spine. ‘How can she still smile like that when her kid is hurt?’

At that moment, Jason
was on his way back to the room and he saw Jeremy and the crying Joey in his arms leaving hurriedly with Anya

Bewildered, he immediately asked Corinne what happened when he got back into the room.
“Their kid was badly burned by some hot soup.”
Jason was shocked. “How did that happen?”
A corner of Corinne’s lips went up. “Would you believe me if I said I was the one who did it?”
“Of course not!” Jason answered without hesitation. He then looked her up and down with worry in his eyes. “What
about you? Did you get burned anywhere?”
Some of the soup indeed splashed onto her hand when she reached out her hand to catch the bowl. She could still
feel the burning pain spreading across her palm.
However, she did not want to make a big deal out of it so she shook her head and said, I’m fine.”
“No.
Jason was relieved to hear that. “That’s good. We should go to the hospital to make sure Joey is okay.”
Corinne agreed so she nodded and said, “Yes, let’s go.”
She pitied the poor child. With a mother like Anya, Corinne would not be surprised if Joey grew up to have traumatic
memories of his childhood.
