Chapter 871


    Corinne’s eyebrows shot up. “Mister, you know she didn’t be like that in a day or two, right? No,


    she got like this because you and your family have been spoiling her rotten since she was little. Due to


    the nature of your rtionship, you can’t kick her out of the house, so we might as well slowly teach her


    how to be a decent human being and give her the space to figure things out for herself.”


    Jeremy was a little taken aback. ‘So she’s doing all this for me?’ Determined as he was to teach


    Francine a lesson, he could not bear to kick her out of the house. ‘Where can she go? It’ll be worse if


    she goes back to live with that wanton mother of hers!”


    Jeremy and Francine might be step-siblings, but she was the only sister he had, so he actually


    cherished her very much. Previously, he was too busy with work to guide her to be a decent human


    being. Not to mention, he would try to shower her with whatever she wanted out of guilt of leaving her


    all alone in the house.


    However, once she reached a certain age, all of her problematic personality became even more


    obvious. She waszy in her studies, arrogant, and not many people in her school were willing to


    befriend her. All this had been a constant source of headache for him over the years.


    Jeremy pinched Corinne’s cheek lightly. “What am I going to do with you?”


    Corinne pouted, “Get out of the kitchen. Don’t get in the way of me cooking!”


    After that, she shook him off and went back to cooking, but Jeremy hugged her from behind again.


    “Who are you cooking for?


    Corinne frowned. “For you, of course! Have you forgotten that you haven’t had your dinner yet?”


    “But I’m not hungry, so why don’t I have a little taste of you first before eating what you’re making?”


    He then took away the bowl in her hand and ced it on the countertop before turning her around to


    hug and kiss her.


    “Mmph! No… Mister…” Sometimes, Corinne had had it with Jeremy’s strong sexual desire, so much so


    that she could not help but question her choice. ‘I just want to cook some noodles for him… Why is he


    making it so hard for me to do that?’


    After a while, Jeremy finally released her, but by then, both of her legs had gone weak. She quickly


    chased him out of the kitchen to prevent the same episode from happening.


    “Go wait outside so you won’t disturb me, Mister! I can’t do anything with you around here.”


    Jeremy smiled. “And why not? Is it ’cause I make you nervous?”


    Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “You’re seriously asking why not? Who was it that distracted me with all


    that kissing? Now hurry up and get out of here, or you’ll have to go to sleep with an empty stomach.”


    “Fine, fine. I’ll get out of your hair. Just be careful and don’t burn yourself, okay?”


    “Okay.”

    Jeremy turned to leave after that. Corinne breathed a sigh of relief and went back to her cooking.


    Her phone suddenly rang when the noodles were about to be done. She took out her phone and saw it


    was Aaron who was calling her.


    “Hey Aaron, what’s up?” she said when she answered the call.


    “Boss, I just received news that someone had gone to the town you used to live to dig up some


    information about you,” said Aaron seriously.


    Corinne frowned. “Do you know who it is? And why do they want to look into my past?”


    “After some investigation of our own, we found out it was the Riveras who sent the person there.”


    Corinne narrowed her eyes. “What have they found out so far?”
