Chapter 775
Jeremy was raging at Bowen just a second ago, yet he spoke so gently to Corinne a second later.
Corinne yawned and answered, “That’s why I thought she should learn. You can see it as training her to be
someone’s wife in the future.”
“Yes, you’re right. It’s time for her to learn all this,” said Jeremy while stroking her head.
Bowen was floored. “When did Mister Jeremy become a man with no principles?”
The smile faded from Jeremy’s face as soon as he turned around to face Bowen. “Where is she? Tell her to come
see me this instant!”
“Miss Francine is washing the dishes in the kitchen…”
Suddenly, they all heard an ear-splitting crash coming from the kitchen.
“I’ll go get her now,” said Bowen quickly before running into the kitchen.
A while later, Francine came out of the kitchen with a defeated look. “Oh hey, Jeremy. You’re back.”

he asked coldly.
Only then did Francine turned to Corinne and said grudgingly, “Hi, Corinne…”
Corinne simply gave her a curt nod.
“At your age, you should be able to clean up the house without breaking anything! It’s not like you’re good at your
studies either, so just what can you do?” asked Jeremy sternly.
Francine lowered her head in shame. “Jeremy, I didn’t mean to make all this mess. It’s just… I’ve never ever done
any housework in my life, and…”
Jeremy did not want to waste his time listening to her excuses, so he cut her off, “You have one hour to clean up all
this mess.”
“Fine…”
Corinne tugged at Jeremy’s hand. “Mister, why don’t you go up and take a bath? I’ll stay here to have a little chat
with her.”
Jeremy shot Francine one last warning look before turning around and smiling gently at Corinne. He tapped her on
the tip of the nose and said, “Be careful of the slippery floor, okay? And make sure you don’t cut yourself with the
broken vases.”
Corinne nodded. “Okay. Don’t worry.”
After that, Jeremy stepped over the mess and went upstairs.
Francine turned her head back around and glared vehemently at Corinne once she made sure Jeremy had really
gone upstairs.
“Corinne, you b*tch! This is all your fault. Jeremy wouldn’t have scolded me if it weren’t for you!” she said angrily.
Corinne did not take the bait. Instead, she asked lightly, “Have you eaten?”
Francine was taken aback by her question, but she glared at her. “Oh, cut the crap! You know very well I haven’t
eaten yet. Who’s going to cook for me when you gave all the servants the rest of the day off?!”
Corinne held up the takeout box in her hand. “I had dinner with your brother outside, and we’ve bought you some
takeout as well. I’ll heat it up for you now.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhat.. What’s going on? Why is she pretending to be nice to me? thought Francine.
“Tsk! No, thanks. I don’t want any of your leftovers.”
“They’re not leftovers. We ordered separately for you,” Corinne said as she stepped over the mess to go into the
kitchen.
After a while, she brought out the hot food
“Come, try this. This restaurant is known for their delicious food.”
Francine walked over to the table, even though she had no intention of eating, but her stomach started growling
when she saw how delicious the food looked.
Well, I’ve been working hard the whole day, so. In the end, her hunger won over her pride. She sat down and picked
up a fork
Before she dug in, however, she threw Corinne a dirty glance. Just so you know, this doesn’t change anything I still
don’t like you”
Corinne pulled out a chair and sat down across from her “Don’t worry, I don’t like you either.”
Francine took a big mouthful, rolled her eyes, and said, “As if I’ll care whether a country bumpkin like you. likes me
or not. Now say what you have to say to me and get out of my face”
