Chapter 870


    Francine loved nothing more than to go shopping for bags, but she could not do that since her


    grandmother had canceled her card. Understandably, her eyes lit up when Corinne offered to buy her


    10 Hermes bags.


    That was until she remembered how poor Corinne was. She looked at Corinne suspiciously and


    scoffed, “Are you sure you have the money to uphold your end of the deal?”


    Corinne smiled. “I’m sure your brother has even more if I don’t have the means to. Or have you


    forgotten that your brother has given all his money to me?”


    ‘Oh, that’s right. Hermes bags, here Ie!’ she thought happily.


    “You better keep your word, Corinne. Don’t you dare go back on your promise after I finish doing the


    practice book!”


    Corinne smiled. “Don’t worry, you have my word. By the way, are you sure you don’t want to have


    some noodles?”


    Francine nced at the beaten egg in disgust and rolled her eyes. “Pfft! I don’t want any of your stinky


    noodles. Even my dog wouldn’t eat poor people’s food like that.”


    She then turned, ready to go upstairs to do the practice questions so she could get her 10 Hermes bag.


    However, as soon as she turned around, she saw Jeremy ring at her from the kitchen door.


    He had just finished showering and was dressed in a bathrobe. His arms were crossed at his chest,


    and he was evidently glowering.


    Francine immediately tensed up. “Jeremy…when did you get here?”


    Jeremy frowned. “Looks like you’re not going to change that bad temper of yours until I teach you a


    lesson!”


    Not wanting to waste his breath on her, he slowly walked toward her with his hand raised.


    Francine immediately backed away and hid behind Corinne, who was whisking the eggs.” Jeremy, I


    know I’m wrong now! I-I…”


    “Get over here!” ordered Jeremy sternly.


    Trembling, Francine tugged Corinne’s sleeve helplessly. “Save me, Corinne…”

    “Mister, I need one more egg. Can you please get me one from the fridge?” requested Corinne


    nonchntly.


    Never one to defy Corinne’s order, Jeremy simply threw a warning nce at Francine before sighing


    and walking over to the fridge.


    Francine quickly ran out of the kitchen.


    Once in the hallway, she heaved a huge sigh of relief. However, she could not help but feel weird about


    something.


    ‘Why was it my first instinct to hide and ask Corinne for help? And why did she help me? 1 mean… I’ve


    given her nothing but trouble and even scolded her ever since she moved into this


    house, so why did she help me? What a weird girl… Ugh, this is annoying. Wait, now’s not the time to


    be thinking about this! I have to finish the practice questions in this book to get my ten Hermes bags!’


    Back in the kitchen.


    Jeremy walked over to Corinne with an egg in his hand and cracked it open over the bowl before he


    threw the shells into the trash can. He looked at her resentfully and said, “Why did you help her when


    she’s been nothing but rude to you all this while?”


    Corinne started whisking the eggs. “Huh? Did I help her?” she asked absent-mindedly.


    Jeremy rested his hand against her cheek. “You lured me away by asking me to get an egg from the


    fridge for you so she could escape. If that’s not helping her, I don’t know what it is.”
