Chapter 1178

“Quiet down!” roared Jeremy angrily after he came out of his room.

Francine jumped with fright when she heard Jeremy’s voice. After that, she suddenly realized

something. “Jeremy, you’re back. Were… Were you also in the room? What were the two of you doing

in there?”

Jeremy did not feel the need to explain himself to Francine, so he simply scolded her, “You should be

sleeping at this hour! Go back to your room now.”

“No wonder Corinne ran away from home. Anyone would leave a husband like you,” muttered Francine

under her breath so Jeremy would not hear her. She then glared at Sophia before walking off.

Sophia simply shrugged. “You saw how she treated me, right, Jeremy? That’s why I had no choice but

to sleep in your room!”

“Please bear with the situation for at least this one night. I’ll arrange for you to stay at the hotel

tomorrow, and you won’t have to see her anymore,” said Jeremy glumly.

“Fine.”

After that, she went down to the living room to watch the television.

Jeremy did not really care about Sophia. He only came out to stop the fight between Francine and

Sophia as he could not stand the shouting.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For

The moment he went back to his room, he received a call from Tommy. Thinking it was news about

Corinne, he quickly answered the phone.

“Sir, we’ve checked all of the immigration records, and there was no record of Miss Corinne leaving the

city. We always have eyes on all the highways, and there were no signs of her. She must still be in the

city,” reported Tommy.

Jeremy’s heart sank. “Continue to look for her! Leave no stones unturned until you find her!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Six months later.

The new Holden Group building was finally completed. The company would be moving in three days

later, and there would be a ribbon-cutting ceremony with many reporters in attendance.

At least, that was the plan. There was an unwritten rule in the construction industry that the architect

who designed the building must participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Otherwise, bad luck would

befall the building occupants and their safety.

As superstitious as the rule sounded, most of the architects would still choose to join the ribbon-cutting

ceremony. After all, being photographed with the building they designed would give them a sense of

achievement.

Gradually, what started out as a superstition turned into an irrefutable belief to the extent that if the

architect did not show up to the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he or she was as good as cursing for the

building occupants to fail.

This went especially for big corporations. All of the buildings they occupied were mostly skyscrapers,

so safety was their utmost concern. Even the shareholders insisted the architect had to be present for

the ribbon-cutting ceremony.

Superstition aside, who would not want to make sure their business kicked off with a great start?
