Chapter 336

Corinne blinked and said, “You brought me to the Holdens and forced me to cooperate with you, so I

did. I tried to follow your arrangements as best as I could, avoid making you unhappy, and expected

nothing from you. But things have since changed, and now that we’ve agreed to try and get along with

each other, you should learn to respect my wishes too. Plenty of things have happened over the past

few days, and I’m exhausted. I want to have some peace and quiet, so could you please let me stay in

this room by myself? If you want to make it clear that this is your room, I can go to the guest room or I

can get out of here and go back to my own home.”

Jeremy narrowed his eyes because her words left little room for him to maneuver. ‘How shrewd!‘

“This isn’t an issue of what’s yours or mine. When have I never let you do what you want? Hmm? If you

want this room for yourself, go ahead and have it. I’ll go to the study.”

“Thanks, Mister!” Corinne grinned, raised her chin, and had a crafty look as she pointed to his big palm

that was still pushing against the door. Her meaning was clear. “Could you remove your hand?”

Although Jeremy did not want to leave her alone, he could not afford to provoke her and eventually

withdrew his hand from the door. As soon as his hand was withdrawn, Corinne closed the door in his

face and went to the bathroom to take a shower and change into some fresh clothes.

The blue veins on Jeremy’s forehead twitched, and he was unhappy after having the door shut in his

face. It was the first time in his life that someone dared to treat him like that, but there was nothing he

could do about it because he had taken a liking to her.

Jeremy massaged the area between his eyes, turned around, and saw his subordinate Tommy waiting

not far away. Tommy probably witnessed what happened, which was why he was hesitant to say

anything and merely looked nervously at Jeremy.

Frustrated, Jeremy lit a cigarette and asked, “What is it?”

Tommy finally dared to step forward and say to him, “Sir, the source of the video has been traced, but

the IP address is fake and the real address was encrypted by the other party. Our people are still in the

process of cracking the encryption. If everything meets expectations, this incident was probably stirred

up by that influencer, and she also happened to take the chance to get revenge on our ma’am.”

Jeremy grunted coldly and flicked away the ash from the tip of his cigarette. “Send someone to find that

influencer as soon as possible, and tell those who are in charge of dealing with this that they’ll no

longer handle the matter. I’ll take over.‘

Tommy was startled, and he could not help but feel a little surprised to hear that Jeremy was going to

do it himself. Corinne appeared to have more standing in Jeremy’s heart than Anya!

“Understood.” Tommy nodded and immediately went to do as he was told.

After Tommy left, Jeremy breathed out a puff of smoke, tilted his head, and stared at the closed

bedroom door before walking helplessly to the study.

Corinne came out of the shower, changed into some clean and comfortable home clothes, and felt so

much more refreshed

than before. She then sat at the desk and turned on the computer. As soon as she logged into her chap

app, there were notifications from Xante and Aaron.

[Aaron: Boss, where are you?]

Corinne tapped the keyboard and replied, [At the Holdens.]

[Xante: We’ve been trying our best to deal with this brouhaha online, boss, but that Jeremy guy has

taken the lead in suppressing the trending search.]

Corinne texted, [I’m aware.]

[Aaron: There must’ve been a mastermind behind this incident; it couldn’t have gotten this serious in

just half a day! Although the trending searches have already been suppressed, the trend of public

opinion is still much against you! What should we do next?]

Corinne said, [Don’t panic. I can handle the situation online by myself. Aaron, I need you to find out

who was the person who made the public confession using the LED screen at the Century Bank Tower

that day. See if you can establish whether or not Anna, the person being confessed to, really exists.

Make sure to check if anyone with the same name came back to the city in the past few days.]

[Aaron: Will do!]

[Xante: Are you saying that the confession wasn’t Mister Jeremy’s doing?]
