Chapter 181
Nana shivered in terror. She raised her hands above her head, making the standard surrender gesture.
“I’m a good person, Sir.”
“Haha.”
Nana turned around to see an elderly couple standing behind her. They were Corbin’s parents.
“Hello, Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins,” Nana greeted them awkwardly.
Corbin’s mother immediately recognized Nana.
“You’re the one who came to see Corbin the last time.”
“Mrs. Jenkins, you remember me. You left quickly the last time. I haven’t introduced myself yet to you. I am Nana Marlin. I’m Corbin’s friend.”
Corbin’s mother looked Nana up and down.
“Nana, please call me Madge and my husband Fabian. Are you here to see my son? Why are you still standing at the door? Come in and have a seat.”
Nana then walked into the ward shyly.
Corbin was lying on the bed and playing a game at the time.
When he saw Nana, he immediately put down his phone and sat up straight.
“Umm… Why are you here?”
He didn’t look like he was going to jail. He didn’t look miserable at all.
Nana breathed a sigh of relief.
But she remembered the police coming into his ward the last time. She wanted to ask him about it, but she didn’t dare because his parents were also in the room.
“You brat! How could you talk to your girlfriend like that?” Fabian Jenkins scolded his son.
“No!”
“No!”
Nana and Corbin were quick to deny having a relationship. They almost spoke in unison.
They exchanged glances before awkwardly shifting their gazes away.
“Mr. and Mrs. Jenkins, you’ve gotten it wrong. I’m not Corbin’s girlfriend,” Nana explained.
“Really?” Fabian looked very disappointed.
They all fell into a deafening silence.
“It doesn’t matter if you aren’t his girlfriend right now.” Madge Jenkins’s gaze alternated between her son and Nana. “What do you think of Corbin, Nana?”
Nana was caught off guard by the sudden question. “He’s good…”
“Then consider making him your boyfriend.”
Madge brought it up again.
“Please don’t make fun of me, Mrs. Jenkins.”
While speaking, Nana looked at Corbin and motioned for him to help her out.
“Nana, although he is in a mess now, our son is very promising. He works as the assistant of the Moran Group’s big boss,” Madge said with a smile. “Are you familiar with the Moran Group? It’s well-known in the business world and is extremely profitable. And his boss is also nice…”
“Mom, stop it. You are not selling off your son,” Corbin interrupted his mother as soon as he realized something bad was about to happen.
His mother was causing him trouble. She would expose everything about him if she continued to speak.
If Nana learned about Maurice’s another identity, it meant that Eliana would also know it.
Corbin was sure that his boss would not just let it pass. Maurice would definitely teach him a lesson.
Madge glared at her son. “I’m just helping you.”
“Well, Mom, you’ll surely help me by taking Dad out right now.”
Corbin’s parents immediately understood what he meant. They exited the ward without hesitation and closed the door carefully.
“You’re an assistant? Who is your boss in the Moran Group?”
Nana found a blind spot.
“I’m just a director’s assistant, and you don’t know who that director is.”
“Then why did you tell your parents you were the big boss’s assistant?” Nana inquired.
“I was afraid my parents would be worried about me, so I told them I worked for the big boss.”
Corbin didn’t hesitate to belittle himself just to get by.
“You’ve already gone too far. Your parents trust you so much and they are proud of you. I really envy you for having such great parents.”
Corbin breathed a sigh of relief when he realized Nana didn’t suspect him at all.
“You envy me? Are you kidding me?”
After all, he had looked into Nana. Her parents should be more proud of her because she used to be a child star.
Nana tried to hide her sadness. “You don’t understand. By the way, what happened to you the last time you were investigated by the police?” she asked, changing the topic.
“My director dealt with it for me.”
Corbin took a sip of water and formed a thumbs-up for his boss, as if he were in front of him.
“Your director is so kind to you, unlike Maurice. That jerk! He even fired my friend,” Nana said indignantly.
“What…” Corbin almost choked on the water. “Your friend was fired?”
Who dared fire Eliana?
Nana was so angry that she raised her voice. “Yes. Isn’t it detestable? Maurice instructed his new assistant to contact my friend and inform her that she had been fired!”
This time, Corbin was absolutely dumbfounded.
Something significant was about to happen.
