Chapter 946


    Corinne pursed her lips. “You were the one who left in such a hurry without waiting for me!”


    Jeremy bent over slightly to touch her forehead. “This is my fault again?”


    Corinne raised her chin. “Well, is it mine?”


    “Okay, okay. It’s my fault!” Jeremy pursed his lips and smiled helplessly. “Were you going toe with


    me to thepany?”


    Corinne shook her head. “No. I was going to ask you to drop me off at the Riveras.”


    Jeremy raised his eyebrow worriedly. “What business do you have going there?”


    Something would always happen to her whenever she went to the Riveras, so it was understandable


    for Jeremy to worry about her when he knew she wanted to head there alone.


    Corinne said firmly, “To deal with all those allegations online. A day has passed, so it’s about time I


    settle everything.”


    Jeremy was startled for a moment before he realized what Corinne meant by that. “Was Anya behind


    all this?”


    Corinne nodded. “She does things to the extreme sometimes. Since she can’t have you to herself, she


    wants to destroy me by ruining my reputation. Whether or not the Holdens end up getting caught in the


    crossfire doesn’t concern her anymore.”


    Jeremy raised his eyebrow. “I’ll go with you, then.”


    Corinne shook her head. “No. You should go to thepany now and try to get thepany’s stock


    market value under control. I can solve my problems.”


    Jeremy frowned and asked somewhat reproachingly, “Does that mean you don’t need me anymore?”


    Corinne knew Jeremy was worried about her, so she exined to him properly, “I still need you, but we


    have to prioritize what’s important. If the Holdens’ stock continues to drop, your dear grandpa might


    strangle me to death!”

    Jeremy knew his grandfather’s dictatorial character well. Corinne’s logic made perfect sense too. He


    could only stroke her hair gently and say, “I won’t go with you then, but I want Lucas to stay at home


    and keep an eye on things.”


    Corinne frowned in disgust when Lucas’ name was mentioned. “No. I don’t want to have to entertain


    him.”


    Jeremy and Lucas had a very ordinary friendship, but Jeremy knew Lucas was someone who would


    protect a sibling with his life.


    In the past, Lucas was prejudiced against Corinne because he did not know Corinne was his sister.


    However, that has since changed. With Lucas knowing the truth, he would never let anyone harm


    Corinne.


    As long as Lucas was around in case the situation went awry, Jeremy could head to thepany with


    peace of mind.


    Jeremy coaxed Corinne, “If you don’t feel like talking to him, you can just ignore him. However, he must


    be around so I won’t have to worry about you being there alone.”


    Corinne had no choice but to nod reluctantly. “Okay. It doesn’t matter to me if Lucas wants to stay at


    home.”


    “That’s my good girl.” Jeremy patted her head lovingly. “I’ll head to thepany after dropping you,


    and then I’lle back a littleter to pick you up.”


    “Okay.”


    They got into the car right after that. Jeremy fastened her seat belt and then gave Lucas a call.


    At that moment, Lucas was heading to the Rivera Group. As he sat in the car, he could not help himself


    from feeling nervous for the Holden Group after reading some news on the stock market.


    He had never been interested to know what happened to the Holdens since his family did not get along


    well with theirs. However, he could no longer ignore anything that happened to Holdens.


    His beloved younger sister married one of the Holdens by mistake. Whether he liked it or not, Jeremy


    was his brother-inw. Any family feud had to be put aside for the sake of his younger sister, and he


    had to lend a helping hand whenever he could.


    Although everything online at that moment was untrue, it all revolved around Corinne. If things were


    allowed to continue as they were, Corinne might have to face a difficult life at the Holdens. She would


    have nowhere else to go if things turned bad, especially since she would not want to be at the Riveras


    due to being estranged from him.


    Lucas was deep in thought over how he could help the Holdens stabilize their plummeting position in


    the stock market. All of a sudden, his cell phone started ringing, and the caller was none other than


    Jeremy.


    He looked rather surprised as he raised his eyebrows.
