Chapter 781


    Knowing Corinne had seen through him, Cedric cleared his throat guiltily. “Ahem! It’s not like that. I just


    want to invite you over to thank you. My wife wishes to meet and thank you, too.” After thinking about it,


    Corinne asked, “When should I be there?”


    “Anytime you like.”


    I


    ‘Lucas will be at work in the daytime, and Anya will be too busy taking care of Joey, so… might just


    have a chance to dig up some information about my mother’s disappearance,’ thought Corinne.


    “Okay, Grandpa Cedric. Since you insist, I’ll drop by your ce today. But you don’t have to thank me


    for saving your life, okay? Let’s just treat this as me wanting to spend some time with you.


    “Okay! You have my word!” said Cedric happily. “I’ll send the car to pick you upter.”


    “Sure. Thanks.”


    After hanging up the phone, Corinne saw the message Jeremy sent her earlier in the morning.


    [Remember to have your breakfast after you wake up.]


    Corinne smiled and typed, [Quit being a nagger, Mister!]


    Corinne went to the bathroom to wash up before changing into some casual clothes. Then, she went


    downstairs and saw all of the mess fromst night had been cleaned up.


    Bowen respectfully walked up to her. “Good morning, Ma’am. Your breakfast is already on the table.


    Please eat it while it’s still hot.”


    Corinne nodded. While walking toward the dining room, she asked, “Who cleaned up the messst


    night?”


    “It was Miss Francine, Ma’am. She didn’t sleep and spent the whole night wiping the floor clean and


    picking up the broken vase pieces. To be honest, I was shocked to see the downstairs so clean when I


    came in. But, this being her first time cleaning, she did miss a few spots, which I’ve asked the cleaners


    to go over.”


    There was nothing in the world one could not learn if one put their heart into it. The fear of being


    scolded by Jeremy must have served as a strong motivation for Francine to figure out how to clean up


    the mess. Corinne was impressed.


    “Where is she now?”


    “She only went back to her room early in the morning. Poor thing must be exhausted,” replied


    Bowen.


    “Okay, let her sleep until whenever she wants.” Corinne sat down and started digging into her


    breakfast. “By the way, Bowen. I’m going out after breakfast, but there’ll be a delivery for meter. It’s a


    present for Francine, so please give it to her after she wakes up.”


    “Yes, Ma’am,” said Bowen with a nod. Inwardly, he was ovee with a rush of positive

    emotions. ‘Ma’am is still willing to buy Miss Francine things, even though they didn’t really start off on


    the right foot. There’s still hope of them repairing their rtionship after all.


    Before Corinne even finished her breakfast, one of the servants came in and reported, “Mister Bowen,


    there’s a car waiting outside, saying it’s for Ma’am.”


    Bowen looked at Corinne with confusion. “Ma’am?”


    Corinne put down her utensils and wiped her mouth gently with a napkin. “Yes, it’s for me.”


    “But Ma’am, why not use the car we have?” asked Bowen worriedly. “There’s no need to get in some


    stranger’s car. Who’s the person who sent the car to you?”


    Corinne knew what Bowen was worried about, so she said, “Don’t worry. I’ve told Jeremy where I’m


    going and who I’m meeting with, and he said he’ll pick me up tonight.”


    Bowen nodded. “Okay then. Have a safe trip, Ma’am.”


    “Will do. Bye now.” Corinne walked out of the mansion and got in the Riveras’ car.
