Corinne was rather tired then, but she still got up to open the door and found Francine anxiously standing outside.
"What's the matter? Why aren't you sleeping?" asked Corinne.
Francine frowned. "Are the kids asleep?" Corinne glanced at the sleeping kids on the bed. "Yeah, they just fell asleep.

However, Francine looked like she would not be able to sleep if she did not get sanswer, so Corinne nodded and opened the door wider to let her in.
Francine walked in quietly, sat on the sofa, and softly spoke, "Corinne, when did you find out Jeremy was being held captive by Sophia?" Corinne sat next to Francine and replied quietly, "A little earlier than you guys." Francine frowned. "Then why didn't you tell me? You know, we're all very concerned about Jeremy's whereabouts!" Corinne put her hand to her forehead. "What's the use of telling you? It's not like we can go save him now. In fact, you should thankfor saving you sworries." "Corinne, you shouldn't think like that! We can cup with an idea together to save him! There's strength in numbers! And even if Adam is very powerful, we Holdens aren't that weak either! I'm pretty sure well be able to get Jeremy out of there!" Corinne frowned seriously and said, "It's enough you know about this. But don't tell your grandparents!” Francine nodded. "Don't worry, | know! Grandpa and Grandma aren't in the best of health so | don't think they'll be able to take this. That's why | waited for them to fall asleep before | cover to talk to you." "The question now isn't whether we can save Jeremy from Adam, but how to prevent the consequences that would cafter from happening." Francine did not understand what Corinne was talking about. "What consequences could there be? They're the guilty ones!" Corinne looked at her. "Do | really need to spell out what kind of woman Sophia is? She didn't hesitate to cripple Jeremy's legs to keep him by her side. And she had her father wrapped around her little finger. If we rescue Jeremy, they'll find an opportunity to strike back at Holden Group, you, and the kids. The risk is simply too high! We shouldn't act rashly for the tbeing. You should know that it'd be impossible for US to hide at hall the tsince the kids still need to go to school." Francine understood her worry and knew it was reasonable. She bit her lip and asked, "Then what should we do now? Should we just wait things out?" Corinne patted Francine's shoulder. "I already have an idea in mind. It might be a little troublesto implement, but I'm sure it can succeed. Promiseyou'll stay calm, and don't tell anyone else about Jeremy's whereabouts, okay?"
