Chapter 1432

Jason looked deeply into Corinne’s eyes. “You and Jeremy aren’t legally married. The wedding you had

was just something you did to appease his grandfather. You didn’t even invite the important elders to

witness the marriage.

“You’re actually helping out with his family when you’re even his legal wife. One day, they’re going to

kick you out of the house once they’ve squeezed every drop of usefulness out of you. Then, you’ll be

left with nothing.”

Corinne finished typing the last word on the document and clicked ‘save’. She yawned lazily and turned

to Jason. “So you think the only reason I’m helping out the Holdens is because I want a piece of their

family fortune?”

Jason shook his head. “Of course, I don’t think that. But you’re going to be sad after they use you and

lose you.”

Corinne obviously did not agree with him. “It doesn’t matter if they’re using me or I’m not legally married

to Jeremy. All I care about is to keep the company running so that I can give it back to him in one piece

once he’s found.”

Jason stared at her in silent shock. ‘I’ve forgotten that she’s not the type of foolish woman who willingly

sacrifices herself without wanting anything in return. She always knows what she’s doing and her

reason for doing it. That’s why she’s not afraid of being used by others.’

Technically speaking, he would not call Corinne smart for doing that. Then again, her pureness was

what attracted him in the first place.

At that thought, Jason smiled and decided to change the topic. “As long as you know what you’re

doing. Anyway, I’ve come to show my support to you on your first day as president of Holden Group.

Are you free after work? How about dinner together?”

Corinne took a sip of her mineral water and said ruthlessly, “Nope. I’m not free.”

Jason had expected she would turn down his invitation, so he said, “Don’t worry. It’s not going to be

just the two of us. Lucas will be there too. So what do you say?”

“No, thanks. I’m really not free. I need to pick up the kids since I’ve already promised them I’ll spend

some time with them.”

Jason frowned. “Corinne, aren’t you taking on just a little too much? Not only do you have to run the

company, but you have to raise three kids all by yourself too?”

“They actually have a nanny to look after them. It’s just that I’ve promised to take them to the theme

park today,” explained Corinne.

“Oh, I see. That’s good to hear.” Disappointed, Jason decided to change his tactic. “Hey, it’s been a

long time since I saw the kids. Can I join you all at the theme park?”

Corinne threw him a disgusted glance. “Mister Jason, you should really learn how to stop giving other

people something to talk about.”

Jason shrugged nonchalantly. “What do you mean? It’s not like we’re going on a date. You’re not going

to watch three kids by yourself, are you? If I’ve guessed correctly, you’ll take Francine along with you,

right? Corinne, you’d let me go if you really see me as a friend. Plus, it’s been so long since I’ve been

to the theme park. Now, thanks to the kids, I can relive my childhood memories.”

Corinne was speechless.

Jason winked at her and said, “Think about it. I can be your driver, carry your bags, or even carry the

kids when they’re tired.”

“I already have a driver.”

“So that settles it. I’ll pick you and Francine up after work and then we can all pick up the kids.”

Not taking no for an answer, Jason got up, waved her goodbye, and walked out of the office.
