Chester knew he overstepped his boundaries. He dropped his head and sighed helplessly before looking up at
Corinne with passion in his eyes.
“Corinne, if… And I mean if…one day you became single again, would you consider—”
“By the way, Chester, how do you feel about Francine?” interrupted Corinne with a smile. She knew what he wanted
to say, so she cut him off.
“What… What do you mean?” asked Chester, flustered.
Corinne smiled. “Let me put it another way. What do you think of her?”
“Well, she’s quite okay, I guess… But why are you asking?”
Corinne smiled mysteriously. “That’s good enough. It’s getting late so I won’t keep you anymore. I’m sure Francine

Corinne’s polite but firm way of asking him to leave made it difficult for Chester to say anything else. Thus, he gave
her a polite nod and made his way to the entrance.
After watching his retreating figure for a bit, Corinne started making her way back inside. However, the moment
she turned around, she saw Francine rushing over angrily toward her.
“Hey, you! What did you and Chester talk about just now?” she asked fiercely.
“Nothing.” Corinne was tired. Not to mention, she had to wake up early tomorrow to go to the summer villa, so she
was not in the mood to deal with Francine.
Not easily deterred, Francine opened her arms wide to block Corinne from leaving.
“If you don’t tell me, I’m going to call Jeremy and tell him you’ve been secretly meeting with another man behind
his back.”
Corinne crossed her arms casually, jerked up her chin, and smiled smugly. “Go ahead. It should be morning in
Molomia right now, so I’m pretty sure he’ll pick up your call.”
Francine only said what she said to force Corinne to tell her what she wanted to know. However, she forgot that
Corinne was no ordinary woman. She was probably the only woman in the world who was not scared of Jeremy.
Still, the words had left her lips, so there was no backing down.
Corinne let out a yawn. “Well, are you going to call him? If you’re not, can you please move out of the way so I can
go take my shower now?”
“Hmph! I’m going to call him now! But let me warn you, he’s not going to be as easy to deal with as me!”
While Francine spoke, she took out her phone and called Jeremy.

Corinne narrowed her eyes on Francine’s phone. She did not expect Francine would actually call Jeremy since she
was known to be scared of him despite her bratty behavior. She was actually a little happy Francine decided to call
Jeremy since she wanted to know if he would pick up and what he would say if he did.
The phone rang for quite a good while. Just when the two girls thought no one was going to pick up, the call went
through.
However, it was not Jeremy’s voice that greeted them but a deep, sexy woman’s voice.
“Hello?”
Corinne’s pupils shrank a little as she looked at the phone in shock. Francine wanted to prove to Corinne that she
dared to make this call, so she had it on speakerphone.
She, too, was dumbfounded when she heard a woman’s voice on the other end of the phone. ‘Sh*t! Did I just
accidentally expose Jeremy’s affair?’
“Who are you? Why do you have my brother’s phone?” interrogated Francine.
