Chapter 1069

“Is this Francine? Your brother is still sleeping. Did something urgent happen? Should I wake him up, or

do you want to call him again later?” asked the woman.

At the mention of her name, Francine immediately realized the woman obviously knew Jeremy well.

However, she did not recognize the woman’s voice, so she had no idea whether it was anyone from

their circle of friends.

Still, she knew she should not say more in front of Corinne, so she said to the woman on the phone,

“It’s nothing urgent. I’ll call him again later.”

After that, she quickly hung up the phone and looked toward Corinne to check her reaction. If it were

any other woman, she would have snatched the phone away from Francine and asked the same

question Francine did, or even straight away cursing her.

However, Corinne was not any other woman—she did not even react. She simply looked away and

said nothing.

‘Sh*t. Her reaction is not normal. This is all my fault. I should say something to help Jeremy out…’

thought Francine. Thus, she quickly explained, “Corinne, I’m sure this is just a misunderstanding. That

woman is probably the personal assistant my brother hired for his business trip since Tommy didn’t go

with him this time. I mean, have you seen him without a personal assistant before? Let me tell you, he’s

useless without one.”

Corinne smiled calmly. “Can a mere personal assistant go into his room when he’s still sleeping and

pick up his calls?”

Francine scratched her head. “Umm… Maybe that personal assistant snuck in without my brother’s

knowing so she could seduce him! I mean, it’s not that surprising if you really think about it. Even I have

to admit Jeremy is quite the catch. But you should know he’d never do anything to hurt you.”

Corinne laughed out loud. “Fine. Whatever. Believe him all you want. I’m just going to take my shower

and sleep now.”

After that, she walked back into the mansion and up to her room to shower.

Francine froze, thinking she was really in deep sh*t this time. She waited until Corinne had gone back

inside before calling Jeremy’s number again. This time, it was he himself who picked up.

“Hello?” greeted Jeremy with a tinge of impatience.

“Jeremy, did you just wake up?” whispered Francine cautiously.

“Yeah.” As if the sleepiness in his voice was not obvious enough.

Francine gasped. “Who was the woman who picked up your phone just now? Did… Did you sleep with

her?”

After a brief silence, Jeremy said coldly, “Isn’t it night where you are right now? Why are you not

sleeping? Just why are you calling me?”

Francine shrank her neck in fright. “Umm… I’m not calling for myself but for…Corinne.”

“Did something happen to her? Is she okay?” asked Jeremy quickly in a tone that was one octave

higher than his usual tone.

“Don’t worry, she’s fine. It’s just… She was beside me when the woman picked up your phone and,

uh… She heard everything the woman said. Hey Jeremy…you’re not cheating on Corinne, right?”

All she got back as a response was the beep as Jeremy hung up on her without warning.

Francine stared at her phone with a frown, thinking, ‘All hell is about to break loose at home. What

should I do? If I had known this was going to happen, I wouldn’t have called Jeremy just to make a

point to Corinne!’
