Chapter 943


    Corinne’s cheeks felt warm when he called her his ‘wife’. She immediately sat up and said, “I didn’t


    take a showerst night, so please excuse me while I freshen up.”


    Jeremy chuckled as he watched her dash into the bathroom and lock the door. He got up and changed


    his clothes, too.


    After Corinne came out of the shower, Jeremy went in and freshened up as well. The two of them then


    left the bedroom and went downstairs for breakfast.


    However, Jeremy was not too happy when he saw an outsider in the dining hall.


    When Pam saw her grandson and granddaughter-inw, she beckoned with a smile. “Jeremy,


    Corinne, you two should sit and have some breakfast. I made some delicious oats today! Taste it and


    see if it’s to your liking.”


    Corinne smiled obediently. “Thank you, Grandma.”


    She then looked politely at Greg and said, “Good morning, Grandpa.”


    Greg was still unhappy over the previous day’s incident and let out a disgruntled grunt.


    Corinne did not take offense. She was about to sit when she realized that Jeremy did not take a seat


    beside her.


    She turned to look at him. As it turned out, he was staring unhappily at Chester, who sat diagonally


    opposite Francine.


    Pam noticed Jeremy’s odd reaction and introduced Chester to him. “This is Francine’s tutor. He’ll be


    helping her with her studies. He came a little early today, so I told him to join us for some breakfast!”


    Chester stood up politely, looked at Corinne, and said, “Good morning, Corinne.”


    Corinne reciprocated with a smile. “Good morning.”

    Meanwhile, Jeremy was ncing at Chester with some animosity. When Chester made eye contact


    with him, there seemed to be a subtle exchange of hostility between them.


    Chester was silent for a moment, but he eventually greeted Jeremy and said, “Good morning, mister!”


    Jeremy’s expression became very gloomy when he heard that.


    The atmosphere seemed to have changed ever so slightly.


    Pam did not understand what was going on, but she could keenly sense that Jeremy did not seem


    too pleased with the new tutor.


    However, Pam soon realized that Chester had addressed Corinne rather directly. She could they


    had met before. “Do you know Francine’s tutor?”


    Corinne nodded. “Yes. He’s one of the top students in my university.”


    Greg snorted angrily. “Did you just say ‘your’ university? That’s still up for debate!”


    Pam shot the old man an unhappy look and chastised him softly, “Can’t you keep your mouth shut


    when you’re eating?”


    Though Chester was not part of the family, he could still sense the insinuation in Greg’s statement.


    Chester had read the previous night’s news as well as what people were saying online. He sent


    Corinne several messages to ask her what was going on, but Corinne never replied to him.


    He became very worried, and he rushed to the Holdens as early as he could to see if Corinne was


    doing okay.


    He was a little relieved when he saw her beside Jeremy, believing that everything was fine at home.


    After hearing Greg’s sarcastic remarks, however, he began to realize the reason behind the Holden


    Group’s stock market value’s sudden plummet. At that moment, he began to worry about Corinne’s


    rtionship with her inws.


    Although everyone online doubted her education history as well as her grades, he knew first-hand that


    Corinne’s academic qualifications were gained from hard work. He had noticed every detail about her


    when he had a crush on her.


    As a result, he could not help but feel a sense of injustice on behalf of his crush.


    “All thosements about Corinne are fake. Corinne got into the university by relying on her abilities. I


    can vouch for that!”
