Chapter 985


    Corinne nodded. "Okay. I''m heading there now."


    After ending the call, she got up from the table and bid farewell to the reporters. She then walked off


    the stage and disappeared from their sight.


    "Miss Corinne, why are you leaving so fast? Who called you? Was it Mister Jeremy?" asked a


    relentless reporter.


    Corinne did not even turn around and simply walked away.


    …


    Meanwhile, back at the Holdens'' mansion.


    Greg and Pam watched the live broadcast till the end, and both of them sighed with relief after


    that.


    Pam was rather proud of how Corinne handled the whole thing. She nudged Greg, saying, "What


    did I say, huh? Corinne''s not the type of person who''d cheat her way into the University of New


    Capital City. It was so obvious someone was trying to make her look like a bad guy in front of us,


    and only an old fool like you will believe an outsider over your granddaughter-inw!"


    Greg knew he was wrong, but his pride would not let him admit it. "Hmph! Of all the people in the


    world, why did she get framed and not the others? I''ll tell you why! It''s ''cause there''s something


    really wrong with her character, and she must''ve made many enemies outside."


    Pam red at Greg. "How you''re acting now is the epitome of victim-ming. I have very good


    judgment when ites to people''s character, and what I can tell you is, Corinne is one of the good


    ones. And don''t you dare treat her rudely again, or I''ll divorce you."


    Greg was stunned. He never thought he would hear the word ''divorce''ing out of Pam. After


    all, who would divorce at their age?


    "Are you seriously threatening me? Well, two can y that game! You don''t need to wait till then to


    divorce me ''cause I''m divorcing you today!"


    Pam stood up angrily. "Fine! Let''s file our divorce at the courthouse now!"


    At that point, even if Greg regretted his words, he could not think up of a way to turn things around.


    He thought about what he could do when he suddenly clutched his chest as though he was having


    a heart attack.


    "Argh! My chest hurts. Medicine… I need my medicine…"


    Seeing this, Pam started to panic. She went up to support him while screaming, "Someone, help!


    Mister Greg is having a heart attack! Get me his medicine!"


    Hearing this, Greg smiled smugly while he continued to be unconscious.


    At the same time, the atmosphere in the Riveras'' mansion was thick with tension.


    Phoebe and Anya were furious to see Corinneing out as the victor in both thepetition and


    in saving her reputation, while Cedric and Beatrice looked rxed.


    "What did I say? Corinne must be the one telling the truth. I''m not surprised that all the rumors


    spread by Josephine and her mother are untrue!" said Cedric.


    From N?velDrama.Org.


    Beatrice nced at Phoebe and Anya. "I couldn''t agree more. And you know what''s the worst part?


    Josephine and her mother are only pawns in someone else''s game. Which means someone else


    must''ve instigated the whole thing."


    Phoebe knew what Beatrice was hinting at, but she dared not say anything.


    Anya knew she waspletely screwed, but she did not want to give up without putting up ast


    struggle. "Grandpa, Grandma, you shouldn''t fall for Corinne''s trick. She must''vee prepared for


    the retest since she didn''t even think twice about suggesting it."


    Cedric scoffed angrily. "Are you trying to say Corinne cheated on the test? Just how did she


    manage to pull that off when there were so many cameras pointing at her? I was about to ask


    whether you or your mother stole the test paper from me and gave it to Josephine and her mother!"
