Corinne smiled. “Well, Jeremy must’ve done something wrong for me to want to hit him, so let’s just say he
deserves it. But then again, I wouldn’t waste my energy hitting him if he did do something wrong. There’s really no
need.”
Francine frowned in confusion. “What do you mean by that?”
“I mean, I’ll just leave him. He can do whatever he wants once he has his freedom back.”
Francine was a little taken aback. “So you’re saying you’ll divorce Jeremy if he does something wrong?”
Corinne looked out at the sky outside the window. “Yeah. I don’t have time to spend on a guy who doesn’t know how
to control himself.”
“But I don’t understand! You went through so much to finally be able to marry him. Not to mention, it took some
time for Grandma and Grandpa to accept you. Could you bear to let all that go without a second thought? Most
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwomen would choose to stay in the relationship even if they knew their husbands have a mistress outside. After all,
it’s not every day one marries into the Holden family.”
Corinne chuckled softly. “Even now you think I married your brother because I want to be a Missus Holden. Do you
think I care about all the things that come with marrying into your family?”
Francine fell silent.
Before this, Francine genuinely thought all Corinne cared about was becoming Missus Holden. After all, marrying
into a family like the Holdens’ was like winning the jackpot for a poor girl who came from the countryside.
‘I know Corinne has real feelings for Jeremy, but wouldn’t it be great if she gets both love and money at the same
time?’
However, as she slowly got to know Corinne, she realized there was more to her than meets the eye. Not only did
Corinne know Xante and Aaron of Newmoon Group, but they actually addressed her as ‘Boss’.
‘This means Corinne doesn’t need a man to get status, power, and money. Maybe she already has all three but
decides to keep it low-profile. There’s a chance she loves Jeremy for who he is and not his money…’
Francine pouted. “Fine. Even if you don’t lack anything, please don’t say things like divorcing Jeremy so easily. Unlike
your friend Aaron, he’s not the type that goes around screwing everything that moves. Besides, his reputation of
celibacy is quite well known in our circles.”
Corinne smirked. “You’re right; Jeremy is different. But, who’s to say he won’t change in the future? I’m just telling
you, I won’t raise a hand against your brother because it’s pointless. The easiest thing would be for me to just leave
him if he did do something that warrants me doing so.”
Francine sighed. “Now I know why Jeremy is so crazy about you. It must be because you’re an independent woman
who can live with or without him. I guess I should be happy to find out Jeremy’s no different than all the other men
who like a challenge, especially in the form of a woman.”

Corinne chuckled softly. “You’re right about that. The more I hold him at arm’s length, the more he’d want to
achieve dominion over me. But having said that, this kind of feeling does wane over time, and there will eventually
come a day when your brother gets tired of me.”
Francine puffed up her cheeks. “You give up too easily, Corinne! If he gets tired of you, you should do everything
you can to make him fall in love with you again! You’re making it sound like you don’t have a say in how long the
marriage can last!”
Corinne was a little taken aback, but she then smiled teasingly. “I thought you can’t wait for your brother to get rid
of me so you can get a new sister-in-law from a good background.”
Francine blushed with shame. “Okay, okay. Stop teasing me. I admit it was very shallow of me to always make fun
of the fact you came from the countryside back then. I know how very wrong it was now. And… And…”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “And what?”
The usually arrogant Francine lowered her head and said sincerely, “I’m actually glad you’re my sister-in-law. I…
really admire you, and I’m going to learn from you how to be a better person.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes before breaking out in laughter. “You’re only saying that because of Chester, right?”
