Chapter 720
After coming out of the bedroom, Jeremy checked the time on his watch. “Let her sleep for now. You have my
permission to wake her up at ten so that she could have her breakfast,” said Jeremy to Bowen, who was standing
not far away in anticipation of his orders.
Bowen bowed and nodded deferentially. “Yes, Mister Jeremy. You can rest assured Ma’am would be well taken care
of.”
“Good.” Jeremy then strode toward the staircase but he stopped when he came to the first flight down. He turned
his head around and added, “Make sure she doesn’t eat too much junk food or cold drinks.”
Bowen had never seen this side of Jeremy so he was understandably shocked. After a while, he finally said, “Okay,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI’ll make sure of that.”
Jeremy found himself to be missing Corinne even before he left the house. He had never missed someone so much
in his life. ‘So this is how it feels to love someone so much that can’t even bear to be a second apart from her…’

Corinne’s sudden disappearance previously had left an indelible scar in his heart. He was so traumatized by what
happened that it had become a sort of neurosis for him. He looked at the closed bedroom for a while as though
worried about the same thing happening before finally going down the stairs.
After Jeremy left, Francine came out of the corner unhappily. She had heard everything he said to Bowen. ‘Bowen,
do this for Corinne. Bowen, do that for Corinne. Pah! He’s going to spoil her rotten.’
Francine did not understand why Jeremy cared about Corinne so much. How could Corinne, a country hick, ever
compete with Anya, a socialite? Francine had been against Corinne from the get go. She wished Jeremy would
marry Anya instead of Corinne. Therefore, she thought it was a good time to get rid of Corinne now that Jeremy
was out of the house.
With this thought in mind, she walked brazenly up to Jeremy’s bedroom and was about to knock on the door when
Bowen stopped her just in time. “Miss Francine, your brother has left a clear order to let Ma’am sleep until ten. You
can find her then should you have something to discuss with her.”
“She’s not the missus of the household! Who the h*ll does she think she is? Why do I need to wait for her to wake
up? It’s really unbecoming for a married woman to behave like this. Let me teach her how the women of the
Holden family should conduct herself!” shouted Francine angrily, who deliberately raised her voice so that Corinne
could hear.
“Please don’t be like this, Miss Francine. Mister Jeremy will be very angry if he found out about this and then you’ll
be the one who’ll suffer,” said Bowen helplessly.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFrancine was not going to take his advice. She lifted her chin proudly and said, “No. My brother will never take her
side over mine ’cause at the end of the day, she’s just an outsider. So kindly get out of my way, Bowen.”
Francine pushed Bowen to the and proceeded to bang loudly on the bedroom door. “I’m coming in, Corinne!”
Without waiting for Corinne’s permission, Francine then barged inside
the bedroom.
Bowen could not stop her this time and considering the fact Corinne was still sleeping, he thought it would be
inappropriate for him to go in. He quickly summoned several maids and ordered them to drag Francine out of
Corinne’s bedroom but to their horror, they discovered Francine had locked the door.
‘What the h*ll is Miss Francine doing in there?’ Bowen quickly went to look for the spare key.
When Francine entered the bedroom, she saw Corinne was wide awake and scrolling through her phone on the bed.
Corinne’s lazy demeanor infuriated Francine. The thought of Corinne being all comfortable while she herself was
locked up in the detention center for half a month sent her into a raging frenzy.
