Up until a second ago, Corinne was still holding out hope that Jeremy would come clean with her, but her hope was
dashed when she saw him acting self-righteously. She looked at him with a straight face and wondered what she
ever saw in him.
“The very fact that you exist makes me angry. I don’t want to see you right now!” she said coldly.
Jeremy’s eyes turned icy cold. “You don’t want to see me? Do you hate me that much?”
“Yes! I hate you very, very much!” she said with great disdain. “Mister Jeremy, I admit it was wrong for me to kiss
you just because I want to get away from my blind date, but I’ve already paid back for my mistake so I don’t owe
you anything anymore. I know you’re interested in me because you thought I was playing hard to get, but I’m not
going to stand here and let you play with my feelings anymore!”
Jeremy frowned and looked at her sharply. “Play with your feelings? You think I’m not serious about you? Is that

Corinne chuckled wryly. “Well, isn’t that it? You look like you’re having fun, but it’s time to end this!”
She pushed him away and walked away without looking back at him.
Jeremy pulled her back again. “You’re not going anywhere! I’ll leave the room,” he said as he let go of her wrist.
After that, he strode angrily out of the room and closed the door with a loud bang.
The sound startled Corinne, but she then looked down forlornly. The heater was on, yet she felt so unbelievably
cold.
Pamela must have been woken up by the sound of their fighting as a few seconds later, she knocked on her door.
“Corinne? Are you in there? Is everything alright?”
No matter how disappointed Corinne was with Jeremy, she would never hold it against his family. Thus, she took
some deep breaths to calm herself before opening the door.
“Grandma, why haven’t you slept yet? It’s quite late,” she said with a smile.
Pamela looked at her pale face sympathetically. “Corinne, I heard you arguing with Jeremy. Did he do something
wrong? You can tell me. I’ll make sure to teach him a lesson after this!”
Corinne shook her head. “We’re fine, Grandma. It’s just a little lovers’ tiff. I’m sorry if we’ve woken you, but there’s
nothing to worry about.”
She could tell Pamela cared about her from the bottom of her heart, so she believed her when she said she would
teach Jeremy a lesson. However, she also knew nothing Pamela said to Jeremy would solve their problem.
Pamela grabbed Corinne’s hand anxiously. “I know it’s not easy to live with Jeremy, given he’s not the most
romantic or good-tempered person out there. He’s also a workaholic, so it’s understandable you’ll feel neglected.
But don’t you worry, I’m going to lecture him and make him apologize to you. This grandson of mine has no idea
what’s coming for him!”

bed now.”
Pamela patted the back of Corinne’s hand. “Okay. You should get some sleep too. I hope you won’t stay mad at
Jeremy ’cause that brat isn’t really worth it. You have my word that I’m going to give him a good scolding first thing
tomorrow morning!”
Corinne nodded. After making sure Pamela got back to her room, she was about to close the food when Francine
came out from the corner with Joey in tow.
“Corinne, wait! Don’t close the door yet!”
Corinne stopped what she was doing and looked at Francine indifferently.
Francine walked over with Joey.
“I heard everything just now. Why did you lie to Grandma?” she asked with a frown. “Why did you tell her it was only
a little lovers’ tiff when it sounded more like your guys were on the verge of divorcing each other?”
