Chapter 937

‘Jeremy has been tapping away on his phone when I came down from Annie’s room. He kept ignoring

me at the time, but it had to be then that he made the hashtags vanish,’ thought Corinne.

“Corinne, the hashtags might’ve disappeared, but this rumor won’t die down that easily. To be on the

safe side, it’s best if you stay home these few days,” urged Lucas.

Corinne nodded. “Thanks for your concern, but I can take care of myself. I’m going to head back now if

there’s nothing else.”

“Wait!”

Corinne sat back down. “Yes?”

Lucas looked at her, conflicted. “Corinne, don’t you find the whole thing weird? The media companies

here would never dare to report about Holden Group unless they had conclusive evidence.

“After the hashtags disappeared, I asked someone to look into the matter, and they found out some

media company from abroad started the whole thing. This makes me think the culprit isn’t only

targeting you but every one of the Holdens. You must be careful, okay?”

Corinne was starting to get annoyed at him repeatedly telling her to be careful. Suppressing her anger,

she nodded and said, “Okay, I get it. Thank you.”

After that, Corinne got out of the car, and Jeremy drove over to pick her up so she could walk less.

After getting into the car, Jeremy reversed the car a few meters and drove into the mansion.

Lucas watched as everything transpired before sighing with resignation.

Edmund turned back to ask him, “Mister Lucas, don’t worry. I’m sure Mister Jeremy will keep Miss

Corinne safe.”

Lucas frowned. “He’s the reason I’m worried about her. His family has a very complicated relationship

with the public, which means Corinne will be a target just by associating herself with them. I’m afraid

there won’t be a day of peace for Corinne after the hashtag fiasco.”

Edmund fell silent. He knew how complicated Jeremy’s past was and only hoped that Corinne would be

safe.

“Edmund, arrange for some men to keep watch outside the Holdens’ mansion. Call me instantly if

Corinne goes out,” Lucas ordered.

“Mister Lucas, I don’t think it’s a good idea to suddenly station our men outside the Holdens’ mansion,

given the bad blood between the two families. This might just spark another conflict,” replied Edmund

hesitantly.

Lucas frowned. “I don’t care about all that. Corinne’s safety is my priority right now. Just do as I say,

and make sure the Holdens don’t find out.”

“Understood, Mister Lucas.”

After that, they drove away.

Corinne followed Jeremy into the mansion, and they thought Greg and Pamela would be sleeping.

Instead, the two elderly people were sitting in the living room with wretched expressions.

“I’ve never been so humiliated in my life! That wild child has brought nothing but disgrace to this

family!” shouted Greg angrily.

“Calm down, you stupid man! We don’t even know whether the news about Corinne is true. I, for one,

don’t think she’s that kind of girl,” said Pamela, trying to pacify Greg.

Greg scoffed. “You don’t think she is? How long have you known her? You should know by now just

how devious some people can be! We haven’t been back for a day, but look at all the trouble she

caused for this family! Anyway, it’s not like she and Jeremy are legally married. We should just ask her

to pack up her things and leave this house. Then, we’ll hold a press conference to clarify we have

nothing to do with her.”

“No! We can’t do that!” cried Pamela and Francine at the same time. The two of them exchanged

glances with each other.

“Grandpa, we shouldn’t do something so unethical. Corinne is the woman Jeremy chose to be his wife.

We’ll be the laughingstock in the city if word gets out we kicked her out because of some unfounded

rumor,” implored Francine.

“Francine’s right! We cannot kick her out of the house. Besides, you yourself were surprised to find

Francine getting along with Corinne. Plus, there’s no way Jeremy will agree to this,” added Pamela.
