Corinne’s finger hovered above the red ‘End Call’ icon. “Tell me who you are. If you have something to say to me,
say it now.”
The caller said, “I’m right here! Just look left, and you’ll know who I am!”
Corinne turned her head slightly to the left and saw a figure waving at her from a small alley.
It was Rosie, whom she had not seen for a long time.
She could not recognize Rosie’s voice as she used a voice changer during the call. A device like that was
unnecessary if Rosie came with good intentions, so it was quite obvious she was up to no good.
Corinne glanced vigilantly and chuckled. “Ah, it’s you, Miss Rosie. Why are you skulking there instead of approaching
me? Does trying to be mysterious excite you or something?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtRosie stood at the entrance of the alley and said, “I do have something to talk to you about, Corinne. Come here
and chat with me.”
Corinne was not going to let herself be fooled. She smiled politely and said, “No thanks. I’m already at the gate of
the Holdens, so you’ll have to come in with me if you want that chat.”
Jeremy had sent plenty of people to hunt Rosie after her unsuccessful attempt at killing Corinne. She did not dare to
go home or even book a hotel stay, much less enter the Holdens’ estate.
“It’s not convenient for me to go in there. I heard that Jeremy’s grandparents are back. They’re old, so it might not
be convenient for us to talk in their presence. It’d be best for you to come with me to find a quieter location where
we can talk openly with each other.”
Rosie was Anya’s best friend, and Anya frequently manipulated her to do her bidding. Thus, Rosie’s sudden
appearance probably had something to do with Anya, too.
Corinne did not intend to play along and said drily, “Sorry, but I’m beat today. If you’re keen on coming into the
house to chat with me, let’s talk about it another day!” She ended the call and immediately entered the gate.
The dial tone left Rosie fuming. She gritted her teeth angrily and was infuriated at how difficult it was to deal with
Corinne.
As she thought about the mission she had to complete, she rushed over quickly and caught up with Corinne before
she entered. “Wait!”
Corinne already had one foot past the gate. When she heard Rosie’s voice, she turned and smiled. “I take it you’ve
changed your mind? Are you going to come in with me?”
Rosie frowned. “Do I have a choice if you won’t chat with me someplace else?” She would never have dared to step
into the Holdens’ turf if Jeremy had gotten off the car instead of leaving.
Since Jeremy was not around, Rosie decided she could go inside and have a seat. It would be a good opportunity to

Corinne smiled. “Please come in, then!”
She led Rosie into the house.
Inside the living room, Greg was having lunch with Pamela and Francine.
When Pamela heard the sound of someone changing their shoes, she looked up and saw that Corinne had returned.
With a smile, she said, “You’re back! And just in time for lunch too! Wash your hands and come join us!”
Corinne changed into her slippers before walking in. She greeted them with a smile and said, “A friend came to see
me. She wants to talk to me about something, so is it okay if you ask someone to send the food up to my room? I’d
like to eat while chatting with my friend.”
