Chapter 530
Jason was nowhere to be seen by the time Corinne got back to the private dining room. She had no idea where he
went and since Jeremy did not get back, there was only Anya, who was feeding Joey some soupy rice.
They did not have a very good conversation in the restroom. The falling out caused them to shed all pretense of
cordiality. Since there was no one else in the room, Anya simply threw at cold glance at Corinne before going back
to feeding Joey.
Corinne sat down on her seat, picked up a fork with one hand, and took out her phone with another to send a text
to Aaron.
Suddenly, Anya pressed the bell to summon the waiter to bring in more soup for her. Corinne did not pay too much

After a while, a waiter dressed in the restaurant’s uniform came in with a bowl of soup.
“Here’s the soup you ordered, ma’am. Please enjoy.”
The waiter then walked up to Anna when suddenly he tripped and the bowl immediately flew toward where Joey
was sitting. It was at that moment Corinne looked up and saw what was going to happen. She quickly got up and
tried her best to catch the bowl of soup but she was
too late.
In the end, the bowl of soup splashed all over the baby highchair and Joey’s face, who immediately broke out in
tears as the hot soup dripped down his face. The waiter started panicking and his first instinct was to get the hell
out of there, which was exactly what he did.
“Stop right there!” shouted Corinne. However, the waiter did not stop nor did she try to stop him since it was more
important to check on Joey. The waiter could wait after all that was
settled.
Corinne put the bowl somewhere else and asked Anya worriedly, “Is he okay? How badly burned is he?”
Anya did not answer her and Joey kept crying and crying.
Corinne noticed Joey’s left eye was starting to swell up. “This can’t be good.”
Worrying about him, she wanted to take a closer look at Joey’s eye but Anya suddenly pushed her away.
“Corinne, what the h*ll do you think you’re doing? Stop hurting my child this instance!”
Corinne was stunned. She looked at Anya with a disbelief frown on her face. ‘Why is she saying that when her kid is
hurt?”

The next second, Anya started sobbing uncontrollably. She looked past Corinne and shouted tearfully, “Jeremy, look
what happened to Joey!”
It suddenly dawned on Corinne why Anya was acting like that. She turned around and, sure enough, Jeremy was
standing at the door.
Jeremy quickly walked over to Joey and saw a large blister forming on his left eye.
“What happened,” he asked angrily.
Anya was still sobbing uncontrollably. However, she still managed to speak clearly, “The waiter was bringing in
some soup for me just now when Corinne suddenly snatched the bowl from the waiter’s hand and threw it at Joey’s
face!”
Corinne was mystified and speechless at the same time.
Jeremy immediately looked at Corinne with eyes filled with mixed feelings.
Anya looked like she was about to have a meltdown. “Corinne, you can take your anger out on me if you’re not
happy with me! How can you do something like this to a kid who’s not even one year old yet!”
