Chapter 720


    Aftering out of the bedroom, Jeremy checked the time on his watch. “Let her sleep for now. You


    have my permission to wake her up at ten so that she could have her breakfast,” said Jeremy to


    Bowen, who was standing not far away in anticipation of his orders.


    Bowen bowed and nodded deferentially. “Yes, Mister Jeremy. You can rest assured Ma’am would be


    well taken care of.”


    “Good.” Jeremy then strode toward the staircase but he stopped when he came to the first flight down.


    He turned his head around and added, “Make sure she doesn’t eat too much junk food or cold drinks.”


    Bowen had never seen this side of Jeremy so he was understandably shocked. After a while, he finally


    said, “Okay, I’ll make sure of that.”


    Jeremy found himself to be missing Corinne even before he left the house. He had never missed


    someone so much in his life. ‘So this is how it feels to love someone so much that can’t even bear to be


    a second apart from her…’

    Corinne’s sudden disappearance previously had left an indelible scar in his heart. He was so


    traumatized by what happened that it had be a sort of neurosis for him. He looked at the closed


    bedroom for a while as though worried about the same thing happening before finally going down the


    stairs.


    After Jeremy left, Francine came out of the corner unhappily. She had heard everything he said to


    Bowen. ‘Bowen, do this for Corinne. Bowen, do that for Corinne. Pah! He’s going to spoil her rotten.’


    Francine did not understand why Jeremy cared about Corinne so much. How could Corinne, a country


    hick, everpete with Anya, a socialite? Francine had been against Corinne from the get go. She


    wished Jeremy would marry Anya instead of Corinne. Therefore, she thought it was a good time to get


    rid of Corinne now that Jeremy was out of the house.


    With this thought in mind, she walked brazenly up to Jeremy’s bedroom and was about to knock on the


    door when Bowen stopped her just in time. “Miss Francine, your brother has left a clear order to let


    Ma’am sleep until ten. You can find her then should you have something to discuss with her.”


    “She’s not the missus of the household! Who the h*ll does she think she is? Why do I need to wait for


    her to wake up? It’s really unbing for a married woman to behave like this. Let me teach her how


    the women of the Holden family should conduct herself!” shouted Francine angrily, who deliberately


    raised her voice so that Corinne could hear.


    “Please don’t be like this, Miss Francine. Mister Jeremy will be very angry if he found out about this and


    then you’ll be the one who’ll suffer,” said Bowen helplessly.


    Francine was not going to take his advice. She lifted her chin proudly and said, “No. My brother will


    never take her side over mine ’cause at the end of the day, she’s just an outsider. So kindly get out of


    my way, Bowen.”


    Francine pushed Bowen to the and proceeded to bang loudly on the bedroom door. “I’ming in,


    Corinne!” Without waiting for Corinne’s permission, Francine then barged inside


    the bedroom.

    Bowen could not stop her this time and considering the fact Corinne was still sleeping, he thought it


    would be inappropriate for him to go in. He quickly summoned several maids and ordered them to drag


    Francine out of Corinne’s bedroom but to their horror, they discovered Francine had locked the door.


    ‘What the h*ll is Miss Francine doing in there?’ Bowen quickly went to look for the spare key.


    When Francine entered the bedroom, she saw Corinne was wide awake and scrolling through her


    phone on the bed. Corinne’szy demeanor infuriated Francine. The thought of Corinne being all


    comfortable while she herself was locked up in the detention center for half a month sent her into a


    raging frenzy.
