Chapter 1000


    Corinne''s finger hovered above the red ''End Call'' icon. "Tell me who you are. If you have something


    to say to me, say it now."


    The caller said, "I''m right here! Just look left, and you''ll know who I am!"


    Corinne turned her head slightly to the left and saw a figure waving at her from a small alley.


    It was Rosie, whom she had not seen for a long time.


    She could not recognize Rosie''s voice as she used a voice changer during the call. A device like


    that was unnecessary if Rosie came with good intentions, so it was quite obvious she was up to no


    good.

    Corinne nced vigntly and chuckled. "Ah, it''s you, Miss Rosie. Why are you skulking there


    instead of approaching me? Does trying to be mysterious excite you or something?"


    Rosie stood at the entrance of the alley and said, "I do have something to talk to you about,


    Corinne. Come here and chat with me."


    Corinne was not going to let herself be fooled. She smiled politely and said, "No thanks. I''m already


    at the gate of the Holdens, so you''ll have toe in with me if you want that chat."


    Jeremy had sent plenty of people to hunt Rosie after her unsessful attempt at killing Corinne.


    She did not dare to go home or even book a hotel stay, much less enter the Holdens'' estate.


    "It''s not convenient for me to go in there. I heard that Jeremy''s grandparents are back. They''re old,


    so it might not be convenient for us to talk in their presence. It''d be best for you toe with me to


    find a quieter location where we can talk openly with each other."


    Rosie was Anya''s best friend, and Anya frequently manipted her to do her bidding. Thus, Rosie''s


    sudden appearance probably had something to do with Anya, too.


    Corinne did not intend to y along and said drily, "Sorry, but I''m beat today. If you''re keen on


    coming into the house to chat with me, let''s talk about it another day!" She ended the call and


    immediately entered the gate.


    The dial tone left Rosie fuming. She gritted her teeth angrily and was infuriated at how difficult it was


    to deal with Corinne.


    As she thought about the mission she had toplete, she rushed over quickly and caught up with


    Corinne before she entered. "Wait!"


    Corinne already had one foot past the gate. When she heard Rosie''s voice, she turned and smiled.


    "I take it you''ve changed your mind? Are you going toe in with me?"


    Rosie frowned. "Do I have a choice if you won''t chat with me somece else?" She would never


    have dared to step into the Holdens'' turf if Jeremy had gotten off the car instead of leaving.


    Since Jeremy was not around, Rosie decided she could go inside and have a seat. It would be a


    good opportunity to get everything done and over with.


    Corinne smiled. "Pleasee in, then!"


    She led Rosie into the house.


    Inside the living room, Greg was having lunch with Pam and Francine.


    When Pam heard the sound of someone changing their shoes, she looked up and saw that


    Corinne had returned. With a smile, she said, "You''re back! And just in time for lunch too! Wash


    your hands ande join us!"


    Corinne changed into her slippers before walking in. She greeted them with a smile and said, "A


    friend came to see me. She wants to talk to me about something, so is it okay if you ask someone


    to send the food up to my room? I''d like to eat while chatting with my friend."
