Chapter 721

‘Gah! I hate her so much!’ thought Francine. She stood with her arms akimbo and shouted, ” Hey, you!

Put on some clothes and get up from the bed now!”

“Why should I?” Corinne asked with a quirk of her eyebrow. She went back to her phone after throwing

an indifferent glance at Francine. She was not surprised by her sudden appearance in her room

because she heard everything that went outside the room just moments ago.

“You’re asking me why? Well, let me tell you why! As a woman of the Holden family household, you’re

prohibited from staying in bed past a certain time. Tsk, I guess what they say is true. Poor people are

poor because they’re lazy,” replied Francine.

Corinne chuckled wryly. “I married your brother, not you. What makes you think you can control me

when he can’t even control me?”

Francine glared at her and said haughtily, “And what makes you think I can’t control you? You can’t fool

me into thinking you’re really my sister-in-law since I know the two of you aren’t really married in the

legal sense! In other words, you’re still an outsider and as an outsider, you have to listen to everything

1, Francine Holden, tell you to do!”

Corinne smiled and nodded. “Fine. I’m all ears. What do you want me to do?”

Francine crossed her arms and said, “I want you to get up from your bed now and do some work

around the house to earn your keep!”

“Work? What work?” asked Corinne curiously.

“Clean the bathroom, do the laundry, cook some meals… Whatever. Just do something! Or are you so

blind as not to see there are so many things you can do around the house?”

“But we have professionals for that… so I don’t see why I should do all that work.”

“While that’s true, you should still do some work as Jeremy’s wife. If not, what’s the point of him

marrying you? We have wasted enough time talking. Get up now and mop the whole house,” said

Francine with a frown.

Corinne had been holding up her phone toward Francine this whole time. At that moment, she looked

lazily at the screen, pouted, and said, “Mister, you heard all that, right? Seems like I’m not welcome

here at all. In fact, your sister is treating me worse than all those mother-in- laws portrayed in soap

operas.”

“Give her the phone,” said Jeremy coldly.

Francine immediately tensed up with horror when she heard Jeremy’s voice coming from the phone. It

was then she realized Corinne was not actually playing on her phone. Instead, she was recording her!

‘Sh*t! I’ve forgotten how devious she can be!’ thought Francine.

Corinne remained lazily slumped against the head rest. She smiled and crooked her finger toward

Francine. “Come. Your brother is asking for you.”

A chill ran up Francine’s spine but she did not dare to defy Jeremy’s order. Glaring all the while at

Corinne, she walked up to the bed and took the phone from her. Jeremy was on his way to the office in

his chauffeured car.

“Jeremy…”

“Pack up your things. I’ll send someone over to take you to your mom’s place later,” said Jeremy

emotionlessly.

That was when Francine knew she was in big trouble. She and Jeremy shared the same father but

unlike his mother, her own mother had remained on the periphery all this while due their grandparents’

unwillingness to accept her into the family. The only reason Francine could live in the Holden’s estate

was because Jeremy allowed her to do so since she was a Holden after all. Not to mention, it was quite

rare for the Holdens to have a daughter amid their midst.

‘Does that mean Jeremy doesn’t want me anymore? Is that why he’s sending me back to live with my

mom?’ thought Francine.

“No! I don’t want to go live with my mom!” she cried out to Jeremy. “Then apologize to Corinne this

instant!”
