Chapter 1135


    However, since this was the first time Pam met Aaron and Xante, she did not feelfortable


    leaving Corinne alone with them. As much as she knew everyone was so quiet because of her, she did


    not n to leave.


    “I overheard you kids say you want to y bridge? Well, that just happens to be my favorite card game!


    It’s such a shame I don’t get to y it as often as I like, so I hope you don’t mind letting me join,” said


    Pam after sipping her tea.


    Both Aaron and Xante were speechless while Corinne sat still expressionlessly.


    Only Annie smiled and said, “Sure! You can team up with me since I don’t know how to y bridge at


    all. I’ll be more than happy to learn a thing or two from a veteran like you.”


    “No problem! I guarantee you’ll be a pro by the end of the day. So, when shall we start?” asked


    Pam.


    Everyone looked at each other.


    Finally, Corinne said, “Let’s y after lunch. It’d be rude to let my friends y on an empty stomach


    since they took the trouble toe all the way here.”


    Pam could tell from Corinne’s tone that she was not happy. Sheughed to hide her embarrassment


    and then said, “You’re right. Let’s y after lunch. Don’t worry, Corinne. I’ll never let your friends go


    hungry.”


    “Is that so? I thought you Holdens are shameless enough to do anything.”


    Pam’s smile froze. Nheless, she got up, saying, “Well, I guess I should head to the kitchen, a


    treat as I’ll personally cook for you. Stay here and chat for a while.”


    Annie got up too. “Ma’am, allow me to help you.”


    Pam smiled and waved her hand. “There’s no need, Annie. I’ll get the servants to help me. You stay


    here and chat with Corinne.”


    After that, she went to the kitchen with the maids.


    When she walked past Bowen, she gave him a pointed look.


    Bowen immediately understood what she was hinting at. He nodded and went over to the living room to


    stand behind Corinne.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All Books

    Pam might be gone, but the situation was still the same as before. Aaron and the others did not find


    itfortable to talk about what they really wanted with Bowen listening, so they made some small talk


    instead.


    After thinking about it, Corinne suddenly whispered something to Joey, and the boy quickly got down


    from the sofa, picked up one of the tea cups, and ran off somewhere.


    Turning around, she asked, “Bowen, can you please go make sure Joey doesn’t trip and hurt himself?


    I’d do it myself, but it’d be rude to leave my friends. Plus, you wouldn’t want anything bad to happen to


    Joey too, right? Think of what Mister Jeremy would do to the servants then.”

    Bowen was certainly put in a spot. He looked at Corinne and then at Joey, who was some distance


    away. One of the maids was already in pursuit, so after thinking about it, Bowen decided to stay in the


    living room.


    “Ma’am, the maid will take care of Mister Joey. There’s nothing to worry about.”


    Corinne’s eyes dimmed. “So what you’re saying is, eavesdropping on me and my friends is more


    important than Joey’s safety?”


    “No, Ma’am!” eximed Bowen embarrassedly. “I’m not eavesdropping on you or your friends. I’m just


    standing by here in case you have any orders for me. Also, it’s important for me to make sure your


    friends have a pleasant visit.”


    Corinne smiled coldly. “If you’re worried about my friends not having a pleasant visit, you wouldn’t have


    made them go through the ridiculous security checks.”


    “We’re just doing what Mister Jeremy asked us to do…”


    Corinne waved her hand. “Fine, whatever. You don’t have to exin it to me. I’m only going to ask you


    onest time: Are you or are you not going to help me look after Joey?”
