Chapter 1407


    Francine found it odd, too. “Grandma’s right. I can’t, for the life of me, figure out why you’d stay with the


    Riveras, Corinne. Not to mention, the way Lucas sucked up to you. Does he have a crush on you or


    something? Is he trying to steal you away while you’re having a fight with Jeremy?”


    rm bells rang in Pam’s head when she heard Francine say that. She would never sit by and do


    nothing if Lucas was trying to steal Corinne away from Jeremy.


    “Is that true, Corinne? Does Lucas really have a crush on you?” she asked.


    Corinne’s lips twitched. “Grandma, it isn’t what you think it is. Mister Lucas definitely doesn’t have a


    crush on me.”


    At that moment, she still did not want to reveal her connection with the Riveras. Her stay at their house


    was only a stopgap measure and not because she wanted to ept them as her family.


    With the misunderstanding between her and Jeremy cleared up, she did not want to risk doing anything


    that would jeopardize their rtionship again. The bad blood between the Riveras and the Holdens had


    gone on for generations, and she feared that the Holdens would stop her from marrying Jeremy if they


    knew she was a Rivera as well.


    Pam held her hand gently and whispered, “Corinne, you’re too naive. Why would a grown man


    suddenly be nice to a girl without a good reason? He either has a crush on you or he wants to use you.


    I think it’s best if you go home with me now.”


    Corinne knew Pam was just worried about her, so she said helplessly, “Grandma, it isn’t what you


    think it is. Actually, Jeremy was the one who agreed to let me stay here.”


    Pam was a little taken aback. “Jeremy agreed to let you stay here? Why that idiot grandson of mine!


    How can he let his wife stay in another man’s house? I would’ve beaten him half to death if he wasn’t


    my grandson!”


    Corinne chuckled wryly. “The only reason he did that was because he thought I’d be safer here. He and


    Lucas hade to an understanding, so don’t you worry too much. Your fears won’te true.”


    Pam could tell Corinne had no intention of going home with her, so she sighed and said, “I see that


    your mind’s made up, so I’m not going to force you to go home with me. But please promise me you’ll


    take care of yourself no matter what. Also, I hope you’ll give Jeremy one more chance. He really does


    care about you, and I can guarantee that nothing is going on between him and Sophia. If you think I’m


    covering for him, then I’ll—”


    Corinne knew Pam was going to put a curse on herself, so she quickly covered the old woman’s


    mouth with her hand. “Grandma, I’ve already forgiven Jeremy. I promise I’ll go home with him once he’s


    back from abroad. So don’t worry.”


    Pam’s eyes immediately lit up with happiness. “Really? You’re not lying to me, right, Corinne? Are


    you really going to get back together with him?”


    Corinne nodded. “Yes, I am.”


    “Oh, thank heavens! Now I don’t have to worry so much,” cried Pam joyfully. “By the way, does


    Jeremy know about this?”


    Corinne turned bright red. “I…think so?”


    ‘He should know! I’ve been so worried about him for the past two days that I had to keep in contact with


    him no matter what. If I guessed correctly, he must be super smug about the whole thing,’ thought


    Corinne.


    However, she did not have the luxury to worry about her pride anymore. All she wanted was for him to


    come back home safely. She was willing to get back together with him as long as he did that.

    She got to experience what it felt like to suffer pain worse than death when she heard he was


    supposedly killed in an explosion. It was only then she found out that her heart was not hers to control.


    There was nothing more important to her in this world than Jeremy’s safety at that moment.
