Chapter 1423


    Francine quickly jumped to Pam’s defense, which was rare for her to react so quickly. “Corinne,


    Grandma didn’t find out about the news from Jeremy. She heard it from Grandpa, and he heard it from


    thepany’s board of directors.


    “Both Jeremy’s and Tommy’s phones were stolen in Molomia, and they couldn’t get new numbers at


    the moment. This, coupled with the fact that he’s very busy with putting out fires in thepany, made


    it very hard for him to contact you.”


    Corinne stared at Francine quietly. “Is that so?”


    Holding her gaze, Francine nodded and said, “Yes. You don’t need to worry about him while you’re


    nursing your body back to health. He’ll exin everything to you once he’s back.”


    Pam nodded as well. “She’s right, Corinne. The most important thing for you to do now is to get your


    body back to health. The reason I came here today is to bring you home. I’ve already arranged the best


    care for you there. What do you say?”


    “No, thanks. I’m not that fragile. Besides, it’s more convenient to stay in the hospital since there would


    be a team of medical staff to attend to me if anything happens.”


    Pam shook her head disapprovingly. “How can the hospital be asfortable as at home? The air


    here is filled with the smell of disinfectant and illness. Corinne, be a good girl, ande home with me.


    Please?”


    Corinne was about to turn her down again when Lucas came in and said, “Miss Pam, Corinne would


    be going back to our house and not yours, even if she is discharged from the hospital.”


    Pam turned around with a darkened face when she heard that. “Oh, it’s you. Thank you for taking


    care of Corinne, but it’s time for her to go home now.”


    “Don’t mention it. Our home will forever be her home. I must ask: What right do you have to ask her to


    go home with you?” said Lucas.


    Pam frowned. “Ha! That’s riching from you. Corinne is my great-granddaughter-inw, so I


    have every right to bring her home!”


    Lucas scoffed. “She’s your great-granddaughter-inw? Do you have any proof? Which of the Holden


    men did she marry? I didn’t see any Holden man beside her when she was giving birth!”


    Pam was speechless.

    Seeing this, Lucas decided to give the final blow. “Leave now, and don’te back to bother her! None


    of you can ever take her away unless that b*stard grandson of yourses back.”


    Pam frowned. “And what gives you the right to speak to me like that? Who are you to Corinne? On


    what grounds do you have to stop us from taking her home?”


    “Who I am to her is not important nor do I have to exin myself to you! You Holdens have no right to


    take her away based on how unreliable your grandson is! Don’t even think about bringing Corinne


    home with you unless that b*stardes back and takes responsibility for all the hurt he caused her!”


    Pam knew Jeremy was guilty as charged, but that did not do anything to quell the anger inside of


    her.


    “Hey! Corinne hasn’t even said anything yet, so what are you shouting about?” Francine half-shouted


    rudely. “Do you have a crush on her or something? Are you hoping to steal her away while Jeremy’s


    gone? Tsk! What a hypocrite.”


    Lucas nced at her. He was not going to waste any of his breath arguing with a kid.


    Corinne was starting to get a headache from all the shouting, so she said, “Pipe down, all of you.


    Francine, please bring Grandma home first.”
