Chapter 721


    ‘Gah! I hate her so much!’ thought Francine. She stood with her arms akimbo and shouted, ” Hey, you!


    Put on some clothes and get up from the bed now!”


    “Why should I?” Corinne asked with a quirk of her eyebrow. She went back to her phone after throwing


    an indifferent nce at Francine. She was not surprised by her sudden appearance in her room


    because she heard everything that went outside the room just moments ago.


    “You’re asking me why? Well, let me tell you why! As a woman of the Holden family household, you’re


    prohibited from staying in bed past a certain time. Tsk, I guess what they say is true. Poor people are


    poor because they’rezy,” replied Francine.


    Corinne chuckled wryly. “I married your brother, not you. What makes you think you can control me


    when he can’t even control me?”


    Francine red at her and said haughtily, “And what makes you think I can’t control you? You can’t fool


    me into thinking you’re really my sister-inw since I know the two of you aren’t really married in the


    legal sense! In other words, you’re still an outsider and as an outsider, you have to listen to everything


    1, Francine Holden, tell you to do!”


    Corinne smiled and nodded. “Fine. I’m all ears. What do you want me to do?”


    Francine crossed her arms and said, “I want you to get up from your bed now and do some work


    around the house to earn your keep!”


    “Work? What work?” asked Corinne curiously.


    “Clean the bathroom, do theundry, cook some meals… Whatever. Just do something! Or are you so


    blind as not to see there are so many things you can do around the house?”


    “But we have professionals for that… so I don’t see why I should do all that work.”


    “While that’s true, you should still do some work as Jeremy’s wife. If not, what’s the point of him


    marrying you? We have wasted enough time talking. Get up now and mop the whole house,” said


    Francine with a frown.


    Corinne had been holding up her phone toward Francine this whole time. At that moment, she looked


    lazily at the screen, pouted, and said, “Mister, you heard all that, right? Seems like I’m not wee


    here at all. In fact, your sister is treating me worse than all those mother-in-ws portrayed in soap


    operas.”


    “Give her the phone,” said Jeremy coldly.


    Francine immediately tensed up with horror when she heard Jeremy’s voiceing from the phone. It


    was then she realized Corinne was not actually ying on her phone. Instead, she was recording her!


    ‘Sh*t! I’ve forgotten how devious she can be!’ thought Francine.

    Corinne remainedzily slumped against the head rest. She smiled and crooked her finger toward


    Francine. “Come. Your brother is asking for you.”


    A chill ran up Francine’s spine but she did not dare to defy Jeremy’s order. ring all the while at


    Corinne, she walked up to the bed and took the phone from her. Jeremy was on his way to the office in


    his chauffeured car.


    “Jeremy…”


    “Pack up your things. I’ll send someone over to take you to your mom’s ceter,” said Jeremy


    emotionlessly.


    That was when Francine knew she was in big trouble. She and Jeremy shared the same father but


    unlike his mother, her own mother had remained on the periphery all this while due their grandparents’


    unwillingness to ept her into the family. The only reason Francine could live in the Holden’s estate


    was because Jeremy allowed her to do so since she was a Holden after all. Not to mention, it was quite


    rare for the Holdens to have a daughter amid their midst.


    ‘Does that mean Jeremy doesn’t want me anymore? Is that why he’s sending me back to live with my


    mom?’ thought Francine.


    “No! I don’t want to go live with my mom!” she cried out to Jeremy. “Then apologize to Corinne this


    instant!”
