Chapter 740


    “I’ll send you the restaurant locationter. All you need to do now is to work hard at your job, replied


    Corinne and before Jeremy could say anything, she had already hung up the phone.


    The reason Corinne ended the call so quickly was because Francine had juste back from outside


    and was standing in front of her and ring at her vehemently. Corinne did not want to worry Jeremy


    with what was going on at home so she was left with no choice but to hang up the phone.


    Corinne was unfazed by the way Francine was ring at her. She curled her lips into a nonchnt


    smile and asked, “Why are you back? Didn’t you say you’re going to Anya’s ce to hang out?”


    Francine crossed her arms haughtily before sitting down on the sofa. “What I do is none of your


    business!”


    Corinne let out azy yawn and said, “You’re right. It is none of my business but I should warn you,


    stay away from Anya. She’s a bad influence on you.”


    Francine really liked Anya from the bottom of her heart since the two of them went way back. In fact,


    thetter had bribed the former with sweets and whatnots ever since they were young so it was only


    natural that Francine would wish Anya to be her sister–inw.


    When she heard Corinne telling her to stay away from Anya, she thought Corinne was jealous of Anya


    so she simply rolled her eyes and said, “Corinne, what right do you have to tell me what to do? Who do


    you think you are? I like hanging out with Anya ‘cause she’s a thousand times better than you and


    there’s nothing you can do about it!”


    Corinne narrowed her eyes and said solemnly, “You ask me who do I think I am? Well, I’m your sister–


    inw, that’s who! I have the responsibility to discipline you on behalf of your brother. This includes


    forbidding you from being friends with people who are a bad influence on you!”


    In the first three months Corinne and Jeremy were together, they only saw each other as business


    partners so Corinne did not feel like it was her responsibility to care about anything that went on in his


    family.


    However, the situation had changed. She really had every intention to spend the rest of her life with


    Jeremy so she felt like she had the responsibility to teach the spoiled Francine how to be a decent


    human being. Otherwise, there might be a chance that Anya would use Francine as a means to get rid


    of her if she did not nip their friendship in the bud.


    Hearing what Corinne said made Francine rolled her eyes so hard that one would think she had


    be possessed by an evil spirit. “Don’t make meugh, Corinne! What makes you think I’ll ever


    listen to you? Surely you’ve overestimated yourself.”


    Corinne chuckled lightly as she slowly got up from the sofa. Then, without warning, she shot to where


    Francine was sitting, twisted her arm to the bac, and pinned her down on the sofa. Francine yelped out


    in pain. “Corinne, what the h*ll are you doing? Let go of me!” she said fearfully.


    “Now do you still think I’ve overestimated myself?” Corinne whispered into Francine’s ear.


    Enduring the pain that was shooting through her arm, Francine looked vehemently at Corinne from the


    corner of her eyes and said, “Tsk! So what if you’re strong? My bet is you wouldn’t dare to hit me at all!”

    “I won’t hit you, that’s true. But it’s not because I’m scared. It’s just that it ain’t fun hitting an idiot like


    you,” said Corinne with a smile. After that, she let go of her grip on Francine. Francine stood up and


    shook her arm up and down to ease the pain. “Who are you calling an idiot! If anything, you’re the idiot


    here!”


    Instead of offering her a retort, Corinne simply turned around and ordered the old butler, Bowen, you


    can ask all the servants to take the rest of the day off after lunch is served ‘cause Miss Francine here


    had oh–so–graciously offered to all the housework today.”


    “Umm… forgive me Ma’am but… I don’t…” Bowen was so confused that he did not know what to say.


    Francine red at Corinne vehemently. “Corinne, have you gone insane? When did I ever offer to do


    that?!”


    Corinned looked back at Francine with a raised eyebrow. “What’s wrong, Francine? I’m just abiding by


    what you said this morning when you barged into my room. If I remember correctly, you said your


    family would not suffer anyzy woman in this household so what’s so wrong with asking you to do the


    housework today? Besides, it’s not like I’m going to do the housework since I have your brother’s


    protection so I won’t be cast out of the house even if I do nothing all day but eat and sleep.”
