Chapter 81


    Francine turned around to point her finger at Corinne. “It’s you! It’s one of your tricks again! You


    must’ve found this woman to take the me!”


    Corinne spread her arms innocently. “Francine, are you only going to be satisfied when I’m the escort


    as you’d hope?”


    Francine replied unhappily, “What do you mean, as I’d hope? You are the escort!”


    All of a sudden, a swift smacknded on Francine’s cheek, and it made a crisp sound.


    Pam panted, having pped her granddaughter in rage.


    “Are you not finished, Francine !? After the scene you caused at home, here you are in the police


    station, causing another scene! Corinne is your sister-inw! Why do you keep on humiliating her like


    this?!”


    “Grandma, did you just p me?” The bbergasted Francine raised a hand to lightly cover her burning


    cheek. She whimpered, “You never hit me since I was a child, yet you pped me because of


    Corinne?”


    Pam’s heart went soft when she saw tears dropping from her granddaughter’s eyes.


    Nevertheless, Francine had crossed the line. Through gritted teeth, she reprimanded strictly, ”


    should’ve pped you earlier! You wouldn’t have behaved like a spoiled girl if I had taught you well.


    Apologize to Corinne now and seek her forgiveness!”


    “Grandma, I’m not wrong! Why should I apologize?!” Francine had a meltdown and shouted like a crazy


    woman. “She’s the escort! I’m telling the truth! It’s her! Corinne Carew sold sex services at the hotel!”


    Amid her rantings, she bolted toward Corinne, wrapped her fingers around Corinne’s neck


    aggressively, and shook her vehemently. “Just admit it! Admit that you were the escort at the hotel, you


    shameless, disgraceful woman!”


    Corinne was unable to say anything when Francine kept on shaking her.


    The police officers in the station quickly surrounded them. “What do you think you’re doing? This is the


    police station. Stop what you’re doing immediately!”


    Pam was so anxious that she nearly passed out. “Francine, stop it!”


    Jeremy just finished his cigarette and entered the station, just in time to catch his grandmother from


    falling. With a cold re, he ordered Francine, “Let go of her!”


    Francine had always been intimidated by her brother from a young age. This time, she shrugged off the


    fear and blustered, “Brother, you can’t have this woman be your wife!”


    Jeremy’s expression darkened. “Don’t make me repeat myself!”


    Terrified by his demeanor, Francine immediately let go of Corinne.


    Jeremy passed Pam to Tommy. He strode and lifted Corinne’s face to check the red marks on her


    neck. “Are you an idiot?” he hissed. “Don’t you know how to avoid her hands?”


    Displeased, Corinne’s eyebrows furrowed. “Mister, this is typical victim condemnation! She attacked


    me, so why are you not ming her for attacking me? You’re even ming me for not avoiding her


    attack? The Holdens are a bunch of unreasonable people!”


    Jeremy’s tensed nerve was relieved because of Corinne’s reply. He pinched her cheek. “Look at you


    and that sharp tongue.”


    Corinne pursed her lips. “Hmph! I just got choked and here you are, pinching my cheek! Like I said, you


    Holdens are a bunch of unreasonable people!”


    Jeremy let out augh, his calloused hand rubbing her head. After that, he looked to the side to re


    daggers at Francine. “You!” he growled. “Get back home, now!”


    Francine could tell her brother was infuriated. She tried to ease his anger as she feebly


    whimpered, “Jeremy…”


    However, Jeremy did not bother to look at her anymore. Instead, he continued to examine the red


    marks on Corinne’s fair neck. He felt pained as though the pain was his. “Does it hurt?”


    Corinne rolled her eyes. “Not as painful as when you pinched my face!”


    Jeremy’s lips quirked up a little upon hearing this. “Be more attentive next time.”


    Corinne’s lips stretched thin as she decided to ignore him.


    The way Jeremy treated Corinne was jaw-dropping to Francine. He was never ever so patient and


    tolerant of other women. It only added fuel to the me in Francine’s heart as she shot Corinne a


    deadly look.


    Corinne managed to escape again this time.


    ‘You better watch out! I’m not going to go easy on you the next time!’ Francine hissed to herself.

    Tommy helped Pam to walk outside, and Francine followed after them.


    Suddenly, two police officers escorted an obese middle-aged man into the station. The man saw


    Francine and rushed toward her like she was his savior. He grabbed her clothes with his cuffed hands.


    “Missus Holden! Missus Holden! Oh, it’s so nice to see you here! Please save me, Missus Holden!”


    The man was none other than Richard Channing.


    Francine panicked and avoided eye contact with him. “Ahem! What are you talking about? You have


    the wrong person! I…I’m not Missus Holden… -I don’t even know you!”
