Francine quickly jumped to Pamela’s defense, which was rare for her to react so quickly.
“Corinne, Grandma didn’t find out about the news from Jeremy. She heard it from
Grandpa, and he heard it from the company’s board of directors.
“Both Jeremy’s and Tommy’s phones were stolen in Molomia, and they couldn’t get new
numbers at the moment. This, coupled with the fact that he’s very busy with putting out
fires in the company, made it very hard for him to contact you.”
Corinne stared at Francine quietly. “Is that so?”
Holding her gaze, Francine nodded and said, “Yes. You don’t need to worry about him while
you’re nursing your body back to health. He’ll explain everything to you once he’s back.”
Pamela nodded as well. “She’s right, Corinne. The most important thing for you to do now
is to get your body back to health. The reason I came here today is to bring you home. I’ve

“No, thanks. I’m not that fragile. Besides, it’s more convenient to stay in the hospital since
there would be a team of medical staff to attend to me if anything happens.”
Pamela shook her head disapprovingly. “How can the hospital be as comfortable as at
home? The air here is filled with the smell of disinfectant and illness. Corinne, be a good
girl, and come home with me. Please?”
Corinne was about to turn her down again when Lucas came in and said, “Miss Pamela,
Corinne would be going back to our house and not yours, even if she is discharged from
the hospital.”
Pamela turned around with a darkened face when she heard that. “Oh, it’s you. Thank you
for taking care of Corinne, but it’s time for her to go home now.”
“Don’t mention it. Our home will forever be her home. I must ask: What right do you have
to ask her to go home with you?” said Lucas.
Pamela frowned. “Ha! That’s rich coming from you. Corinne is my great-granddaughter-in-
law, so I have every right to bring her home!”
Lucas scoffed. “She’s your great-granddaughter-in-law? Do you have any proof? Which of
the Holden men did she marry? I didn’t see any Holden man beside her when she was
giving birth!”
Pamela was speechless.
Seeing this, Lucas decided to give the final blow. “Leave now, and don’t come back to
bother her! None of you can ever take her away unless that b*stard grandson of yours
comes back.”
Pamela frowned. “And what gives you the right to speak to me like that? Who are you to
Corinne? On what grounds do you have to stop us from taking her home?”

have no right to take her away based on how unreliable your grandson is! Don’t even
think about bringing Corinne home with you unless that b*stard comes back and takes
responsibility for all the hurt he caused her!”
Pamela knew Jeremy was guilty as charged, but that did not do anything to quell the anger
inside of her.
“Hey! Corinne hasn’t even said anything yet, so what are you shouting about?” Francine
half-shouted rudely. “Do you have a crush on her or something? Are you hoping to steal
her away while Jeremy’s gone? Tsk! What a hypocrite.”
Lucas glanced at her. He was not going to waste any of his breath arguing with a kid.
Corinne was starting to get a headache from all the shouting, so she said, “Pipe down, all
of you. Francine, please bring Grandma home first.”
