Chapter 720

After coming out of the bedroom, Jeremy checked the time on his watch. “Let her sleep for now. You

have my permission to wake her up at ten so that she could have her breakfast,” said Jeremy to

Bowen, who was standing not far away in anticipation of his orders.

Bowen bowed and nodded deferentially. “Yes, Mister Jeremy. You can rest assured Ma’am would be

well taken care of.”

“Good.” Jeremy then strode toward the staircase but he stopped when he came to the first flight down.

He turned his head around and added, “Make sure she doesn’t eat too much junk food or cold drinks.”

Bowen had never seen this side of Jeremy so he was understandably shocked. After a while, he finally

said, “Okay, I’ll make sure of that.”

Jeremy found himself to be missing Corinne even before he left the house. He had never missed

someone so much in his life. ‘So this is how it feels to love someone so much that can’t even bear to be

a second apart from her…’

Corinne’s sudden disappearance previously had left an indelible scar in his heart. He was so

traumatized by what happened that it had become a sort of neurosis for him. He looked at the closed

bedroom for a while as though worried about the same thing happening before finally going down the

stairs.

After Jeremy left, Francine came out of the corner unhappily. She had heard everything he said to

Bowen. ‘Bowen, do this for Corinne. Bowen, do that for Corinne. Pah! He’s going to spoil her rotten.’

Francine did not understand why Jeremy cared about Corinne so much. How could Corinne, a country

hick, ever compete with Anya, a socialite? Francine had been against Corinne from the get go. She

wished Jeremy would marry Anya instead of Corinne. Therefore, she thought it was a good time to get

rid of Corinne now that Jeremy was out of the house.

With this thought in mind, she walked brazenly up to Jeremy’s bedroom and was about to knock on the

door when Bowen stopped her just in time. “Miss Francine, your brother has left a clear order to let

Ma’am sleep until ten. You can find her then should you have something to discuss with her.”

“She’s not the missus of the household! Who the h*ll does she think she is? Why do I need to wait for

her to wake up? It’s really unbecoming for a married woman to behave like this. Let me teach her how

the women of the Holden family should conduct herself!” shouted Francine angrily, who deliberately

raised her voice so that Corinne could hear.

“Please don’t be like this, Miss Francine. Mister Jeremy will be very angry if he found out about this and

then you’ll be the one who’ll suffer,” said Bowen helplessly.

Francine was not going to take his advice. She lifted her chin proudly and said, “No. My brother will

never take her side over mine ’cause at the end of the day, she’s just an outsider. So kindly get out of

my way, Bowen.”

Francine pushed Bowen to the and proceeded to bang loudly on the bedroom door. “I’m coming in,

Corinne!” Without waiting for Corinne’s permission, Francine then barged inside

the bedroom.

Bowen could not stop her this time and considering the fact Corinne was still sleeping, he thought it

would be inappropriate for him to go in. He quickly summoned several maids and ordered them to drag

Francine out of Corinne’s bedroom but to their horror, they discovered Francine had locked the door.

‘What the h*ll is Miss Francine doing in there?’ Bowen quickly went to look for the spare key.

When Francine entered the bedroom, she saw Corinne was wide awake and scrolling through her

phone on the bed. Corinne’s lazy demeanor infuriated Francine. The thought of Corinne being all

comfortable while she herself was locked up in the detention center for half a month sent her into a

raging frenzy.
