“Ask my men to continue looking for her. I’ll catch the first flight back home!” interrupted Jeremy sternly.
After that, he hung up the phone.
Francine sighed helplessly. She then went through everything in Corinne’s phone, but she found not a clue.
‘What the heck is Corinne thinking? Does this mean she’s really determined to break up with Jeremy?’
…
Meanwhile, at Holden Group’s branch office in Molomia.
Jeremy quickly strode out of his office after picking up his suit jacket. As soon as he pushed open the door, he
bumped into a woman who was just about to knock on the door.
“Jeremy, where are you going?” asked the scantily-clad woman.

The woman was stunned. She quickly followed him to the elevator. “Jeremy, didn’t you fly back a few days ago?
What’s so urgent that you need to go back again? Also, all the hard work you put in will be in vain if you go back
now!”
“I couldn’t care less about that right now,” replied Jeremy.
The woman had never seen Jeremy so panic-stricken before. After thinking about it, she asked cautiously, “Does
this have something to do with Miss Corinne?”
Jeremy did not answer her. He stepped into the elevator the moment the door opened.
The woman chased after him. “Jeremy, let me go back with you this time!”
Jeremy looked at her with hesitation before nodding lightly.
Sophia did not go home to pack her luggage. After getting into Jeremy’s car, she called home and instructed the
servant to send her stuff over to the destination.
…
While all this happened, Corinne was eating some noodles. Even though she had no appetite, she forced herself to
eat something for the sake of the baby.
To his credit, Jason was quite thoughtful. He stocked the fridge full of food and drinks. He even wrote a note
detailing how to use the stove, crock pot, and electric griddle and stuck it on the fridge door.
It was a good thing he wrote the memo, or Corinne would have a hard time figuring out how to use the slightly
antiquated stove in the apartment. Of course, she did wonder how a spoiled young man like Jason would know his
way around the kitchen. It was very perplexing, to say the least.

After she finished her noodles, Corinne went to lie down on the bed. She received a text message from Jason the
moment her head hit the pillow.
[Feel free to use the tablet to watch a movie or play a game after you’ve eaten. The IP address is registered under
the cleaner that comes once a week to clean the house, so you don’t have to worry about Jeremy finding out you’re
here.]
Corinne was a little taken aback by the text message. She looked around the room carefully but found nothing
suspicious.
[Are you spying on me through some hidden camera?]
[Of course not! Even I won’t do something so low. Plus, I’m not as controlling or possessive as Jeremy.]
Corinne simply replied to him with a smiley emoji.
Looking at the emoji, Jason could just imagine Corinne smiling a smile that did not reach her eyes.
