Chapter 436
Not wanting to wake her up from her dreams, Jeremy got up and walked to the door. He nned to go
take a short rest in the study but just when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly realized
something was off.
‘Howe I don’t hear any breathing sounding from the bed at all?’ A jolt shot through his heart
and he quickly turned on the light. He scanned the room and a frown immediately appeared on his face
when he realized there was no one in the room at all.
He hurriedly walked to the bed and pulled off the nket. It was empty!
‘Where could that little rascal be at this time of the night?”
He took out his phone and called her, only to find her phone was ringing on the bedside. That phone
used to be his but he already gave it to Corinne.
‘Howe she didn’t bring her phone out?’
A sudden thought urred to him and he quickly walked over and opened the wardrobe. Her clothes
were gone!
His pupils shrank to pinpoint size and his face darkened. “Bowen!” he shouted.
Bowen hurried over and asked, “What’s the matter, Mister Jeremy?”
Jeremy red coldly at him and asked, “Where’s she?”
Bowen looked bewildered. He nced around the empty room, then at the men’s clothes in the
wardrobe, and immediately knew something was wrong.
“Mister Jeremy, ma’am went straight back to her room after dinner and we never saw hering down.
She has been feeling easily tiredtely so she always goes back to rest in her room quite early in the
evening. I’ve even instructed the other servants not to bother her/”
Jeremy’s jaws tightened as he gritted his teeth. “Well, what are you still standing here for? Go find her!
Don’t even think ofing back here if you don’t find her.”
“Yes, Mister Jeremy. Please don’t worry. We’ll look for ma’am right away,” said Bowen fearfully.

However, they looked throughout the night and when morning came, they still could not find any sign of
Corinne which was weird since all of the surveince footage did not show her leaving the house at all.
Jeremy sat resignedly and silently on the first floor’s sofa. His eyes were red and there was a cloud of
sinister air surrounding him, making him look like one of those malevolent and
bloodthirsty gods.
‘She has run away,’ he thought. Just how desperate was she to get away from him that she
went through all the trouble to make sure she was not captured by the surveince cameras and only
took the route where she knew there to be the surveince cameras’ blindspots?
‘Good. Very good. I expected nothing less of you, Corinne Carew,” said Jeremy to himself.
Failing to find Corinne, Bowen and the other servants were waiting anxiously for Jeremy to meet their
punishments.
The air in the room was thick with tension and every sound Jeremy made caused the servants to want
to get down on their knees and beg for mercy.
At that moment, Tommy hurried over and reported, “Mister Jeremy, we’ve checked the airport, bus
stops, and hotels. There were no records of Ma’am ever going there. We also went to the Carews’
house but she wasn’t there as well. They said ma’am went over yesterday but they did not see her
since she took back all the engagement gifts you asked me to send over to their house.”
Jeremy leaned against the sofa and put his hand on his forehead. He looked exhausted, depressed,
and murderous all at the same time as if the whole world was hanging by a thread.
After thinking about it, Bowen bravely opened his mouth and said, “Mister Jeremy, ma’am had
someone deliver her things yesterday and I’m guessing those are the engagement gifts Mister
Jenkinsons are talking about. I’ve asked the servants to put them in the storeroom.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes wordlessly.
“Mister Jeremy, ma’am seemed to have only taken with her the paintings you gifted her and nothing
else.”
‘Well, she certainly nned this well. She even made sure to return the engagement gifts,’ thought
Jeremy.
