"She's a b*tch!" Francine could not bring herself to reveal that Corinne was her brother's wife. It was a privilege she would rather not give Corinne!Her classmate felt a little awkward and did not know why Francine hated Corinne so much. "Well... Whatever it is, your family is super rich! It's amazing how you can just make donations on a whim!"The Holdens have always kept a low profile, and although everyone in the school knew that Francine was a daughter of a wealthy family, they were unaware that her family was the Holdens—an elite upper-class family. Furthermore, no one had any idea that her brother was Jeremy, the Holdens' eldest son!Francine was not in the mood to hear that sort of flattery. "Is my brother still in school?" she asked."He's probably discussing the building donation in the dean's office right now!" her classmate answered.Francine got up, rushed out of the classroom, and took out her cell phone angrily to call Richard."Hey! Didn't you say that you were g
As soon as Corinne heard someone calling her, she stopped walking and turned around.A handsome boy chased after her and was trying to catch his breath.He was a third-year student.Corinne asked curiously, "What's the matter, Chester? Is there something you need from me?"The shy boy rubbed the back of his head awkwardly and smiled sincerely as he said to her, "Congratulations on your successful graduation!"Corinne smiled. "Thanks."Chester wanted to say something else, but he noticed the imposing man beside her and asked, "Umm... Who is he?""An uncle of mine!" Corinne answered without hesitation.Jeremy was speechless to hear that.As soon as Chester was told that Jeremy was one of Corinne's elders, he immediately bowed politely and said, "Nice to meet you, sir!"Jeremy narrowed his eyes coldly. He had a gloomy gaze and ignored Chester's greeting.Chester did not seem bothered about Jeremy's presence and said to Corinne with a slight blush, "I have something to talk to y
Francine thought for a while and said, "Well, since today's your graduation ceremony, why don't we go and celebrate?"Corinne yawned. "Thanks, but no thanks. There's nothing to celebrate."Nevertheless, Francine continued to cajole her and took her arm warmly. "It couldn't have been easy for you to go through four years of university, so that's a good enough reason to celebrate! I know a shopping mall with a lot of limited-edition new fashion styles. How about we go for a walk together?"Corinne gazed down at the way Francine was hooking her arm and raised her eyebrows strangely. "You want me to go shopping with you right now?"Francine nodded eagerly. "That's right! It's not like we have anything else to do if we go home early! Why don't you come shopping with me?"Though it was rare that Francine was kind to Corinne, it would nonetheless be a positive development because she would have less trouble if she could get along peacefully with everyone at the Holdens.With that though
The disgusting blonde man grinned to reveal his soiled teeth and smiled wretchedly. "Relax, Richard! I know exactly what to do! Besides, I was jailed because I used to get involved with escort services!"The blonde guy was excited to see such a beautiful, delicious woman on the bed. He had just been released from jail the month before, and it had been years since he last touched a woman. Finding a job was already hard enough, and his lack of money meant that finding a woman was an almost impossible task!A few days ago, Richard—who was from his hometown—came to him and offered to pay him to sleep with a woman. It was such an amazing deal that he immediately agreed without hesitation. In fact, he was more than willing to sleep with such a beautiful woman for free, and he would not even mind going to jail for a couple of years because it was worth it!Francine felt nauseous when she saw how perverted that blonde guy was.Since Corinne pressed her head into the toilet and made her fee
"And what did the police say?" Jeremy said while calmly reading the weekly financial report.Tommy replied, "The police are still conducting their investigation and interrogating the suspects. There hasn't been any word yet."Such things happen every day in countries all over the world, so nothing was surprising about what happened. It was not worth all the huge fuss.Jeremy sipped his coffee and ordered, "Get the media to tone down on the reports while we wait for the results of the investigation. We'll respond to the public opinion based on the official announcement.""Understood!" Tommy nodded, but his expression soon turned less calm than before. He had to put a lot of strain on himself to utter his next sentence and say, "Sir, there are rumors that the name of the woman suspected of being an escort is...Corinne Carew.”Jeremy finally lifted his handsome face out of the financial weekly newspaper, with his gaze turning sharp all of a suddenTommy had a regretful look. "I didn
Everyone listened as a very serious voice came from the other end of the line. "Hello, this is Eastbridge Police Station. May I ask if this is Corinne's home?"Bowen looked up and glanced at Jeremy to seek his instructions. He only dared to reply when Jeremy nodded slightly. "Is something the matter?"The policeman on the other end of the line said, "If you're a family member of Corinne's, we ask that you please come to Eastbridge Police Station right now. We require your assistance to verify certain matters."The call then ended.Pamela could not bear what she just heard and slumped down on the sofa.Francine became even more frantic. "Did you hear that, Grandma? The police station just called us! The woman arrested has to be Corinne! How could she bring herself to do such a thing? She's let you down even after all the care and love that you've shown her!"Pamela was heartbroken and found herself unable to accept it.Jeremy got up, grabbed his suit jacket from the sofa, and sai
With the call on speaker mode, the same police officer spoke through the phone, "Corinne Carew, someone had taken your wallet and phone. They've even used your name to book a room in a hotel. Please come to the station now to clarify if the wallet and phone belong to you and check if there are any losses."Corinne replied politely, "Alright. I understand. Thank you very much, officer.""You're welcome," the officer replied.Corinne looked at Francine pointedly after she hung up the phone. "Is that it? When is losing something a scandal? Francine, please enlighten me by telling me why you think the police are looking for me?"Francine was stunned. For a minute there, her brain stopped working. 'Why have things turned out differently from what's planned? The police were looking for Corinne because she lost something?' she thought."Oh, Corinne. I'm so happy that you're fine! I'm really glad that you're fine! What a scare. I was nearly scared to death." Pamela patted her chest to rel
"Corinne, my dear. For my sake, can you…" Pamela still wondered if she could bring a truce to both people…Corinne stood firm. "Grandma, this isn't the first time. Last time, she brought you to the art gallery to catch me having an affair. This time, she insisted I was the escort and called me these dreadful names. I can't forgive someone who keeps insulting and wronging me. Besides, she never apologized to me sincerely. I hope you can understand this, Grandma."Pamela sighed helplessly. Of course, she could understand why Corinne was so upset. No girl would like to be involved in those scandals, and it was normal for Corinne to be so angry. Francine had indeed gone overboard in both incidents.'Francine, this girl… She's too spoiled. It's time to teach her some manners, but she's so weak… Sigh! Nevermind. Corinne said she was going to let it pass,' Pamela thought.Francine knew her grandmother would never punish her. She raised an eyebrow at Corinne arrogantly and gloated. 'So wha
