Corynn turned around, looked at the direction that the voice had cfrom, and saw a man smiling at her.
“Why are you giving up just like that, huh? The fact that Liam and Aron are refusing to help you doesn’t mean
that | also don’t want to,” the man said and chuckled lightly, his pot belly heaving from side to side like it might
fall off.
Hearing this, Corynn’s eyes brightened up with hope and she asked, “Do you want to help me?”
Liam and Aron exchanged knowing glance, but said nothing. They wanted to intervene, but then considering that
Harper Group was due to file for bankruptcy, they decided not to.
Besides, if Corynn should choose to be with this man, she would fare much better in the future.
The man lowered his eyes and stared intently at Corynn’s chest for a moment. He then looked up at her and
replied, “Yes, | wish to help you. But, | have one condition.”
Corynn felt highly irritated under the man’s wanton gaze and goosebumps appeared on her skin.
These men ought to be ashamed of themselves, for they were old enough to be her father.
However, she decided not to lash out and asked as cooly as she could, “What do you wantto do?” The man
smiled and replied, “Well, all you have to do is agree to becmy lover and I'll help you out.” Liam cleared his

you ought to be focused on, Corynn, is how to secure your future. Don’t waste the opportunity that Jakob just
presented to you. He is a big shot who will ensure that you live comfortably.”
“Whatever you want, just nit and I'll give it to you. There's no need for you to go down with your sinking
ship,” Jokob said with a chuckle.
Shaking her head, Corynn took a step back and said, “Thanks for your offer, but no.”
With that, she turned around, bit her lip in frustration, and hurried out of the private room, seemingly feeling
defeated.
Her eyes were fixated on the floor as she walked and she failed to notice someone walking up to her until it was
too late. Abruptly, she was grabbed and yanked into a nearby room.
Stunned, Corynn gasped and was disoriented for a moment. Before she could regain herself, the person who had
dragged her into the room slammed the door and pinned her against the wall.
Before she could look at who the person was, a familiar scent enveloped her, and the identity of the person
instantly appeared in her mind.

Struggling to free herself, she hissed, “Elliot! Let go ofin this instance! Are you out of your mind?!”
“Corynn, why on earth didn’t you ctofor help? Why did you go to them instead?” Elliot asked in a
stressed voice as his eyes bore deep into hers. He then swallowed and gazed at her low-cut dress and
meticulously applied makeup.
He had rushed over, disregarding what he was doing, the moment he got Kaden’s call. He was well aware of
just how much of a crook those old men were and he was scared to death that they would have done something
to her before he got here.
Worst of them all was Jakob, a shameless man whose womanizing acts have ruined countless lives.
This was the first tthat Corynn had gone to meet those men, so she was most certainly ignorant of how evil
they were. However, as Elliot was aware, he couldn't take any chances and had rushed over.
With a loud chuckle, Corynn shook her head and asked, “Do you think I wish to have the day of my fall moved to
a closer date?”
She knew very well that if Elliot was to help her in any way, Amanda would get more furious. Under no
circumstances must she seek Elliot's help.

Elliot frowned and said frustratingly, “You ought to know that | can handle Amanda. You should let me...”
“I don’t need your help! Now, let go ofbefore things get out of hand,” Corynn interrupted icily.
Hearing such cold words from the woman that occupied his thoughts day and night hurt Elliot like he had been
stabbed. Before she could say any more harsh words, he leaned in and planted his lips firmly on hers.
For a moment, Corynn was stunned, then she regained herself and shoved Elliot away.
Elliot stumbled back and looked up to see Corynn furiously wiping her lips like they had been contaminated by a
deadly virus.
The look of disgust and contempt on her face wounded him deeply.
Corynn not only wanted to have nothing to do with him, she also hated his touch!
Gone were the days, when they had been so close.
“Do you takeas a nobody, Elliot? Or why else would you choose to demeanover and over again?” Corynn
asked in a trembling and angry voice as she snatched up her bag, which had fallen on the floor when Elliot pulled
her in and stormed out.
“I will never demean you, Corynn!” Elliot called after her.
