Aaron was telling the truth; he genuinely did not know where Corinne was hiding. To avoid Jeremy finding her,
Corinne forbade them to call her on the phone she was using then.
Jeremy said nothing as Corinne’s original phone was with him. Before he went to Molomia, he programmed the
phone to only be able to receive calls from him and other emergency numbers.
He could sense Corinne was plotting her escape, which was why he dispatched more bodyguards to keep an eye on
her. He thought that by keeping her under house arrest, he would have all the time in the world to solve the
problems between them after he came back from Molomia. Thus, he was understandably shocked when he
received news of Corinne’s escape.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJeremy did not mean to make life difficult for Aaron. Thus, after looking around once more to confirm Corinne was
not in the area, he said coldly, “Call me the moment you have news of her.”
Aaron wanted to curse at him but ultimately chose to cooperate with him to avoid suspicion. “Sure. You have my
word.”
Jeremy left after that.
Xante walked out of her room and happened to see Jeremy walking into the elevator. She narrowed her eyes
suspiciously and said, “He looks like he’s really panicking.”
Aaron scoffed. “Of course he’s panicking. What man wouldn’t panic when the woman carrying his baby has gone
missing?”
Xante shook her head. “No. I don’t think it’s the baby he’s worrying about.”
“So what? At the end of the day, he lied to the boss. It makes me sick to see him pretending to be worried when
he’s married to another woman abroad,” said Aaron angrily.
“What if he has his reason for doing that?”
“I failed to think of any reason that would warrant him to get legally married to another woman abroad. And even if
he did, he could explain it to the boss instead of lying to her. He should know the boss will try to see things from his
side.”
Xante shrugged. “I was just guessing. Anyway, I wonder where the boss is right now and if she’s eaten.”
“She should be fine. Didn’t she say someone else is helping her? I’m pretty sure she’s at some nice place waiting
for the dust to settle so she can call us.”
Xante sighed and nodded. “I do hope so.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne did not tell Xante and Aaron that the person she had asked for help was Jason as she knew Jeremy would
definitely go to their place to look for her. The less people know about Jason, the better.
Xante went to close the door to stop the cat from running out before going back to her bedroom.
“Xante, wait!” called Aaron.
Xante turned back to look at him with a raised eyebrow. “Yeah?”
Aaron took out his phone and threw it toward Xante, who caught it without any trouble.
“What’s this?”
Aaron smiled sinisterly. “Your little lover boy has been calling me nonstop to ask me where you are, so why don’t
you tell him yourself?”
