Jeremy shook his head. "I didn't hear anyone talking, but I did hear someone closing the door loudly. That was what woke up Benjamin and me."Sophia recalled Adam did indeed close the door heavily when he went out. 'Oh, so that was what woke them up. That means Zachary must've not heard what Dad said,' she thought. She was afraid that Jeremy would overthink if he had heard what Adam said."Well, that's how Dad is. He does everything very roughly. Sorry for waking up you two," said Sophia with an apologetic smile.Jeremy shook his head. "It's okay. Why didn't you ask your father to stay for dinner?"A hint of anger flashed across her face when she recalled the fight she had with her father. "Oh, he said he has other plans.""Okay," said Jeremy. He did not really care whether Adam stayed for dinner or not. He asked because he wanted to dispel Sophia's suspicion.Sophia sighed in relief. "Zachary, why don't you go watch telly with Benjamin for a while? Dinner will be ready soon.""

Francine loved sweet stuff, and that was why Chester would always choose a place where they had good desserts for their dates.After taking a few bites of her dessert, Francine suddenly let out a frustrated and melancholic sigh, prompting Chester to ask with concern, "Why the sigh? Something on your mind?""I'm worried about my brother and Corinne…" answered Francine. She was so worried that even eating the dessert could not cheer her up.Chester knew Corinne and Jeremy were the two most important people she cared about, so he comforted her, "You need to trust in Corinne that she'll handle this matter well. I'm sure your brother will come back safe and sound. He's been alive in all the years he's been missing, which proves his life is in no danger for the time being. So don't worry too much."Francine shook her head and pouted. "I'm not worried about that. I'm more worried that Corinne will fall in love with another man!"Chester was first stunned by what she said, but then he bur

Francine took big gasps of air and said, "I saw the woman who tried to come in between Jeremy and Corinne. She should still be in jail! Why did I just see her?"Chester did not really know what was going on, but he still comforted her, "Maybe you saw wrongly?"Francine was starting to suspect she had mistook the passerby for her old acquaintance as well. After all, that woman would not be let out of jail so soon.'I hope it really wasn't here for Corinne and Jeremy's sake. Sophia's already enough of a headache for them, so if that woman comes back, there'll be no end to their troubles!' thought Francine.She was getting ready to go to the movies with Chester when she saw Anya sitting and talking to a man at a coffee house behind Chester! Her eyes widened in shock. This time, she was sure it was definitely Anya.'When did she get released from jail? She should be locked up forever for doing so many evil things!'Chester noticed the shock on Francine's face, so he turned to look at

"So I'm not someone?" asked Chester sarcastically."Okay, okay. Stop teasing me. I have to keep my attention on Anya to see if she's up to no good again!" said Francine shyly."Sure," said Chester. After that, he quietly observed Anya with Francine.What they saw was Anya talking seriously—sometimes gritting her teeth—to the man opposite her as though they were deep in an important conversation.The man opposite her looked to be in his early forties. He would nod and bow to Anya from time to time. It was obvious he was working for her.After 15 minutes or so, the man got up and left, leaving Anya alone in the coffee house sipping her coffee in a daze and lost in thought. Not long after that, she left too.Francine wanted to follow Anya after she came out of the coffee house, but Chester stopped her."She's going to find out we've been spying on her if we tail her now," he said."I just want to see whether she's going home or meeting up with someone else," replied Francine worri

Xante had just returned to her office from the hospital for some silence, yet it did not take long for Sunny to appear! She had never had such a clingy boyfriend before."What are you doing here? You should be keeping your father company in the hospital!"Sunny shrugged. "He's fine. You have no idea how cooperative he is right now. Ever since Corinne went to see him, he became a completely different person. Not only is he taking his medicine, but he got his appetite back again! He wants to recover faster so he'll be discharged and make up for lost time with Corinne. So there's nothing to worry about."Xante frowned, wondering if he remembered he had another sister."Xante, why are you looking at me like that? Am I not welcome here?" asked Sunny with a pout.Xante glared at him and scoffed. "Actually, you came at just the right time. I have something to ask you."Sunny's eyes immediately lit up. "What is it? I'll tell you anything you want to know!""Tell me, do you know where yo

"You better keep an eye on her to make sure she doesn't come up with another scheme to hurt the boss! She has enough on her plate as it is!" warned Xante.Sunny's expression became serious. "I know Corinne is really worried about Jeremy, so you have my word that I'm not going to let anyone else bother her."Xante sat down and adjusted her gold-rimmed glasses. "I hope you can tell the right from the wrong this time instead of unconditionally protecting Anya."Sunny used to think Anya was the kindest and gentlest person in the whole world. It was not until later that he realized she had been corrupted by their mother, who taught her to be selfish and entitled. Anya ended up as a person who would do anything or use anyone to achieve her goals."Don't worry; I won't do that. Even though they're both my sisters, I know very well in my heart who's right and who's wrong."Xante fixed her troubled eyes on him, and they gradually calmed down.…That night, Francine immediately went to lo

Corinne kept thinking about what she had done wrong while walking to Joey's room. She did not knock once she was there. Instead, she tried the doorknob but found it to be locked.'Joey locked the door?' Corinne was shocked. She did not expect a kid so young to lock the door while sleeping. It would be a lie to say she was not disappointed as well. Sometimes, it was not the kid who relied on his mother but the mother who relied on her kid for emotional support.It was difficult for Corinne to know her clingiest kid suddenly did not need her anymore.She stood by the door for a long while, and no matter how she thought about it, she could not help but worry about Joey. Thus, she climbed into Joey's room through the balcony from the study next door.Inside his room, a frowning Joey was curled up sleeping in his bed with a teddy bear in his arms. It was obvious he was insecure, but even so, he still forced himself to be independent by locking the door.Corinne could not help but see h

'Something must be wrong with his assets for him to be in such a hurry to sell them off!' thought Corinne.She was carefully reading the report Xante sent her when her phone rang. She kept her eyes on the laptop screen while her hand moved to find her phone."Hey, Corinne. What are you doing now?" greeted Jason through the phone.She had not seen him for so long that she almost forgot he existed."Why are you calling me?" she asked indifferently. She was in work mode.Jason sighed with mock disappointment. "Corinne, can't you be nicer to me? We're business partners. Is this really how you want to treat your business partner?"Corinne raised an eyebrow. "How should I treat you then? Should I call you Jay-jay in a sickeningly sweet voice?"Jason smiled. "Yes, you should! I'll be very happy if you call me that!"Corinne was not in the mood to talk nonsense with him, so she said, "If you don't have anything important to say, I'm going to hang up the phone now.""Wait, no! I'm call

Jason shrugged and grinned nonchalantly. He then followed Corinne into the office."I am working, though. It's part of my job to come here and talk to you about work. Hence, I am leading by example by being a hardworking employer."Corinne walked to her desk. She could feel Jason moving closer to her. It was an annoying habit of his; he would deliberately try to get close to her so their bodies would touch while talking.She turned and casually pulled out a chair. "Mister Jason, please have a seat. We should treat this as a business meeting since we're going to talk about work. I'm afraid that it'll be hard to draw a line between personal and work if you're too close to me."Jason smiled and sat on the chair. "Thank you, Corinne."Corinne walked to her desk and sat opposite him. "So, what do you want to discuss with me?" she asked while looking at him lightly.Jason's expression turned serious. "It's about the piece of land in Serenity Bay we're going to develop. I was thinking w

Jason frowned for a second before shrugging and smiling. "Fine. Turn on the heater all you want. But remember to come find me after you're done with your meeting."Corinne nodded. "If you're still here, that is."Jason grinned. "Don't worry. I will be here."After that, Jason followed Corinne's secretary out of the office.'Finally, some peace,' thought Corinne. She did not waste any time getting to work. She turned on her laptop to do some paperwork in preparation for the meeting later.Collaborating with Talbot Group was something the board of directors unanimously approved and was not something Corinne decided alone.As much as she did not like Jason, she was immensely grateful for him helping her out in the past. However, she could not return his feelings. Thus, when Jason proposed the two companies working together to develop the piece of land in Serenity Bay, Corinne immediately agreed to bring up the idea in the board of directors meeting. As to whether they would give her
