Chapter 57
When Francine knew her grandmother, Pamela, was going to believe what Corinne said, she quickly cut in. “Grandma, don’t listen to her! Don’t let her lie to you again. If she was sick, why didn’t she go to the hospital? Why did she instead stay in this room with another man? Our family would never allow such a shameless woman into the family. Corinne Carew is a bad person. She didn’t just have an affair; she even stole Rosie’s watch yesterday. Ask Rosie about it!”
Rosie, pretending to be generous and forgiving, shook her head. “Ma’am, I’m fine. It’s just a watch, and it’s not really that expensive. Though, what Corinne has done now… It’s unforgivable. She betrayed Jeremy.”
Corinne’s face was as white as a piece of paper. Still, she managed a smile as she continued to ignore Rosie and the others. Pulling the blanket away from her, she tried to stand up. “You may choose to not believe me, Grandma, but I’d never do anything that would bring shame to the Holdens.”
It was haunting for Pamela to see Corinne trying to stand up with her pale face. She was going to ask Corinne to sit.
However, Sunny got impatient and walked toward Corinne, grabbing her by the collar. “Stop blabbering, you demon! No one is going to believe what you said. It’s better that you admit it and leave the Holdens before anyone kicks you out!”
Jason came over and took Sunny’s hand away. “Let go of her! Can’t you tell she’s sick right now?”
Sunny scoffed. “Oh, my. Are you trying to protect her? Seriously, just admit that you guys have something going on!”
Jason was not about to argue back because Sunny was still a kid to him. “We have nothing to say because we’re not having an affair! Mister Sunny, I suggest that you better watch what you’re saying. There is a price to pay for making false accusations.”
Before this, Jason had been nothing but genial and all smiles. However, he finally had enough and squinted sternly while encompassing a defensive vibe. This, no doubt, intimidated Sunny.
He mumbled, “Hmph! I wasn’t making false accusations! You two were hiding in here having an affair, and we caught you two red-handed!”
This time, Jason did not care about what Sunny said. He turned around to look at Corinne while he grabbed her swaying body. “Corinne, how are you feeling? Are you alright?”
Corinne shook her head.
“What are you guys doing in here?” rang a mature, deep male voice from the door. It sounded very calm and peaceful, yet it sounded dangerously ominous as well.
Startled, everyone turned to look back.
Jeremy was standing tall and upright at the door of the lounge. His hands were in his pocket. His handsome face was straight and cold.
There was another person behind him. It was Tommy. His face looked very serious too.
Francine got all worked up when Jeremy showed up. She ran over to him. “Jeremy, you’re just in time! Corinne is having an affair with that man over there. We caught her red-handed!”
Jeremy frowned. “Shut up!”
Francine was scared witless by this.Content is © by NôvelDrama.Org.
‘He must be really angry to find out Corinne cheated on him!’ she thought and did not dare do anything else.
After all, in her mind, Corinne could not possibly weasel her way out of this! Jeremy’s eyes looked sinister as he saw Jason grabbing Corinne by her shoulders.
