“Please don’t get angry, Ma’am. I’ll go bring Mister Joey back right now,” said Bowen.
After that, he went to look for Joey.
“Annie, go and help Bowen. Joey can be a handful sometimes,” said Corinne.
“Sure thing, Corinne!” said Annie naively. She had zero clue Corinne was doing this to divert her away.
Finally, only Corinne, Aaron, and Xante were left in the living room. They did not waste time in getting to the crux of
the matter.
“Boss, what’s going on? Why didn’t you pick up or answer any of our messages?” Xante asked in a hushed tone.

or message you guys.”
“What?! Isn’t this the same as being kept under house arrest?” scoffed Aaron.
A hint of anger flashed across Corinne’s eyes. “I’m guessing he knows I know about the other woman abroad and is
afraid I’ll run away again. He’s doing all this to make sure the baby stays.”
“Holy sh*t! You don’t think he’s going to kick you out of the house after the baby is born, right?” Aaron asked in
shock.
Xante kicked him lightly. “Shh! Don’t be so loud and act normal. Don’t forget where we are right now.”
Aaron cleared his throat and sat up straighter. “Ahem! So what do you plan to do, Boss?”
“You two find a way to get me out of there.”
Aaron stroked his chin. “Judging by how wary Miss Pamela is of us, I don’t think it’ll be that easy.”
Corinne obviously knew Pamela was on her precious grandson’s side. That was why the her every move so that it
would be impossible for Corinne to blatantly walk out of the house.
“I didn’t say get me out today. Quick, one of you give me your phone so I at least have contact with the outside
world.”
Aaron nudged Xante with his elbow. “Xante, you do it. I need my phone.”
Xante glanced coldly at him. “I need my phone too! You leave yours!”
Corinne frowned. “What’s the hold-up? You two should be volunteering for me to use your phone!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmXante would have given Corinne her phone if it were not for Sunny. She was afraid her boss would find out about
their relationship after reading all the nonsensical messages Sunny sent her. She took out her phone and cleared all
the chat history before handing her phone to Corinne.
Corinne quickly shoved the phone into a pocket. “Be nice to Miss Pamela later. She’ll let her guard down if you can
make her happy.”
After that, she went to the kitchen to check on Pamela.
The kitchen was spacious and filled with natural sunlight. Even though Pamela said she would cook herself, the staff
did not dare to let her do so. Thus, the old woman was relegated to the role of a supervisor.
All the servants bowed respectfully when they saw Corinne coming in.
