Chapter 724

After Anya went out, the nanny kept patting Joey on the back to calm him down. “There, there, little

guy. There’s no need to be scared anymore ’cause your mommy has left the room already.”

It was only then Joey dared to turn around and his crying gradually subsided once he had confirmed

Anya was, indeed, not in the room. Seeing this, the nanny sighed. It was quite obvious to her that Anya

did not love Joey at all since she would only pretend to care about him when there were other people in

the room with them and when there were not… she would show her true colors.

‘Poor Joey… Not only did he lose his parents at such an early age, but when everyone thought he was

set for life on account of being adopted into a wealthy family, his mother only sees him as a means to

achieve her goal. Sigh… It wouldn’t surprise me if his life only gets harder from now on,’ thought the

nanny.

Meanwhile, back at the Holden’s estate.

Corinne was woken up from her sleep by the sound of a ringing phone. She groggily made a reach for

her phone and put it against her ear. “Hello?”

“Good morning, Miss Corinne,” came a man’s serious voice from the other end of the phone.

Being still half-asleep, Corinne did not recognize the voice so she asked, “Who is it?”

“It’s me, Edmund.”

‘Oh, it’s him!’ This woke Corinne up a little. “Yes? What do

you want?”

Edmund could tell her from voice that Corinne had just woken up and he became rightfully worried that

he was the reason for that so he cautiously asked, “Umm… Did I wake you up?” “That’s not important

since what’s done is done. Just tell me what you want.”

“Please forgive me if I happened to wake you up… but Mister Lucas had asked me to arrange a private

meeting with you. He wanted to apologize for the misunderstanding that occurred last night.”

Corinne frowned. She was not happy at being woken up for something as trivial as this. “It’s fine. He

doesn’t need to apologize to me. I’m going to hang up now.”

“But Miss Corinne-”

She did not even wait for Edmund to finish speaking before hanging up the phone. She then threw her

phone and went back to sleep. However, someone knocked on the door at that precise moment..

“Ma’am, it’s already past ten. Mister Jeremy had instructed me to wake you up for breakfast at this

time,” said Bowen respectfully.

Corinne yawned while stretching her arms over her head. ‘Looks like I’m not going to get the sleep I

want today…’ She smoothed down her hair, got off her bed, and went to the bathroom to wash up.

Bowen smiled kindly at Corinne when he saw her coming out from the room. “Ma’am, your breakfast is

on the table. Mister Jeremy specially hired a nutritionist to make breakfast for you. What would you like

for lunch today? You can let me know now so that I can arrange for the food to be made for you.”

“I’m not picky so anything’s fine. Though I wouldn’t mind some homey dishes,” Corinne replied as she

walked down the stairs.

“Okay, Miss Corinne. I’ll relay your message to the kitchen.”
