Chapter 338

The old man was a little puzzled when he did not get a response, so he asked, “Hello? Why is it so

quiet on the other end? Can you hear me? Say something, Jeremy!”

Corine was speechless. What am I supposed to say? Should I tell him that I’m the ‘swine‘ that he spoke

of and not his darling grandson?

Just as Corinne was hesitating over how she was supposed to respond to the old man, she suddenly

heard an old lady’s voice coming from the other end of the phone.

“Greg, you idiot! Who told you to call Jeremy? Can’t you give it a rest? You’ve just taken your medicine!

Give me the phone!”

Corinne then listened as a tussle ensued, and Pamela eventually snatched the phone. After taking the

phone, Pamela asked. There’s been lots of news about things back home What’s going on?”

Pamela’s question left Corinne with no choice but to sigh helplessly and explain everything, but before

she had time to speak, she heard the old woman reprimanding sternly, “Did you forget what I told you

before I left? I said to take good care of Corinne and be a little nicer to her, but you’re doing the

complete opposite! How could you let all those people slander her online? What kind of husband are

you?”

Corinne was stunned, and even the explanation she so nearly gave was stuck in her throat. The old

lady believed that she was slandered and sided with her unconditionally at Jeremy’s expense Doesn’t

she doubt me at all?”

That being said, she could understand if the old lady doubted her because the two of them did not.

know each other for too long. However, Corinne was startled and humbled that the old lady would side

with her so clearly.

Corinne opened her mouth and said, “It’s me, Grandma.”

Pamela was surprised when she heard Corinne’s voice. “Corinne? It’s you! Wait a minute. Did you

answer the phone earlier?”

Yes, Grandma ”

“So, you heard what that old man said too?”

“I did Pamela then coaxed her a little awkwardly. “Don’t take his words to heart. He’s just an old fool,

and he doesn’t know the truth of the situation!”

“Don’t worry, Grandma. I understand.”

Since Corinne never met the old man, she neither took offense nor took to heart his attitude toward her.

Pamela breathed a sigh of relief and said, “That’s good to hear. I knew you were an understanding

person!”

Corinne then asked curiously, “Why don’t you doubt me at all when you saw the news about me?”

Pamela said straightforwardly, “Why should I? Does it make sense for me to believe that the Holdens

granddaughter–in–law is so short of money that she needs to fake an accident with a jalopy to extort

money? I’m not that easily fooled, unlike a certain old man. The news is all fake!”

Connne laughed. “Haha! You’re a wise woman indeed, Grandma!”

Pamela was happy to receive praise from her granddaughter–in–law. “That I am! But honestly, I do

hope that you’re the kind of girl who likes money!”

Corinne did not quite understand what Pamela meant. “… Huh?”

Pamela then explained worriedly, “Because we’re rich, and Jeremy is even richer. If you like money,

Jeremy is the right man for you! I’m worried that there’s nothing you like, and you’ll end up disliking

Jeremy for being a cold, ignorant man…and then you’ll finally dislike our family too…” Corinne was

amazed that Pamela knew her so well and believed in her character.
