Chapter 1065


    Throughout the call, never did Corinne once ask about Jeremy nor did Tommy mention him.


    ‘If Mister wanted me to know about something, he would’ve told me. I wouldn’t need to ask other


    people about it. Since he doesn’t want me to know what he’s up to, there’s no point in asking Tommy,’


    she thought.


    When night came, Tommy visited Corinne to give a status report on the task she asked him to do.


    Since it would be inappropriate to receive him into the bedroom, Corinne asked him to follow her to


    Jeremy’s study.


    “Ma’am, I already went to the Riveras to ask for custody of Mister Joey,” said Tommy respectfully.


    Corinne was sitting casually on Jeremy’s office chair with her cheek resting on her hand. “And what did


    they say?”


    “Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice said you’ve mentioned Mister Joey’s custody arrangement to them


    before. After careful consideration, they both think it’s best for you and Mister Jeremy to take care of


    him.”


    Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked at Tommy’s sides. “So where is he? Why didn’t you bring him


    here?”

    Corinne could not help but see herself in Joey. ‘Poor kid. He’s been mistreated again and again after


    Anya found no more use of him.’


    “Even though Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice agreed to let you take Mister Joey away, Miss Phoebe


    insisted on keeping him by her side. She said that now that Miss Anya had been locked up, she can’t


    lose her only grandson too. She even went as far as to threaten tomit suicide if they take Mister


    Joey away from her.”


    Corinne did not pity Phoebe. She only found the whole thingughable. ‘So I see she has changed


    from a good mother act to a good grandmother act now that Anya isn’t there to y the ‘good daughter’


    act. When was she when Anya was abusing Joey? I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Both


    of them are as evil as theye.’


    She knew Joey would suffer if he stayed any longer with Phoebe. Not to mention, she promised him


    she would get him out.

    After thinking it through, she asked, “Where’s Miss Phoebe now? I want to see her.”


    “Miss Phoebe has been sent away by Mister Cedric to live in the summer vi located in the


    countryside. Mister Joey is also there.”


    Corinne nodded. “Okay. Arrange for someone to drive me to the summer vi tomorrow morning. I’m


    going to talk to Phoebe about Joey’s custody arrangement.”


    Tommy was a little taken aback. “Ma’am, it’s best if you don’t meet up with any of the Riveras alone.


    Miss Phoebe might do something drastic to you as revenge for getting Anya arrested. Not to mention,


    Mister Jeremy would never allow you to go meet with Miss Phoebe if he was here.”


    At the mention of Jeremy, Corinne became upset. “Oh, so I need his permission to go somewhere


    now?” she asked with a frown.


    Tommy shook his head. “No, it’s not like that, Ma’am. Mister Jeremy is just concerned about your


    safety. It’s best if you wait until hees back before going to talk to Miss Phoebe about Mister Joey’s


    custody arrangement.”


    Corinne scoffed. “Then tell me, when will he be back?”


    Tommy hesitated for ten seconds before answering, “I’m not sure either. It seems the problems


    overseas are trickier than we thought, so it’ll take him some time to sort things out.”


    Corinne smiled coldly. “I can wait, but I’m not sure whether Joey can. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to


    remind you just what sort of people Anya and her mother are. Do you really think Phoebe will treat Joey


    well? The kid is just an innocent pawn, and legally speaking, he’s Jeremy’s son. Can you bear the


    responsibility if something happens to him?”


    “Well…”
