The Day I Kissed An Older Man by Cher the Cherished

Chapter 1065

Throughout the call, never did Corinne once ask about Jeremy nor did Tommy mention him.

‘If Mister wanted me to know about something, he would’ve told me. I wouldn’t need to ask other people about it.

Since he doesn’t want me to know what he’s up to, there’s no point in asking Tommy,’ she thought.

When night came, Tommy visited Corinne to give a status report on the task she asked him to do. Since it would be

inappropriate to receive him into the bedroom, Corinne asked him to follow her to Jeremy’s study.

“Ma’am, I already went to the Riveras to ask for custody of Mister Joey,” said Tommy respectfully.

Corinne was sitting casually on Jeremy’s office chair with her cheek resting on her hand. “And what did they say?”

“Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice said you’ve mentioned Mister Joey’s custody arrangement to them before. After

careful consideration, they both think it’s best for you and Mister Jeremy to take care of him.”

Corinne raised her eyebrow and looked at Tommy’s sides. “So where is he? Why didn’t you bring him here?”

Corinne could not help but see herself in Joey. ‘Poor kid. He’s been mistreated again and again after Anya found no

more use of him.’

“Even though Mister Cedric and Mister Beatrice agreed to let you take Mister Joey away, Miss Phoebe insisted on

keeping him by her side. She said that now that Miss Anya had been locked up, she can’t lose her only grandson

too. She even went as far as to threaten to commit suicide if they take Mister Joey away from her.”

Corinne did not pity Phoebe. She only found the whole thing laughable. ‘So I see she has changed from a good

mother act to a good grandmother act now that Anya isn’t there to play the ‘good daughter’ act. When was she

when Anya was abusing Joey? I guess the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. Both of them are as evil as they

come.’

She knew Joey would suffer if he stayed any longer with Phoebe. Not to mention, she promised him she would get

him out.

After thinking it through, she asked, “Where’s Miss Phoebe now? I want to see her.”

“Miss Phoebe has been sent away by Mister Cedric to live in the summer villa located in the countryside. Mister Joey

is also there.”

Corinne nodded. “Okay. Arrange for someone to drive me to the summer villa tomorrow morning. I’m going to talk

to Phoebe about Joey’s custody arrangement.”

Tommy was a little taken aback. “Ma’am, it’s best if you don’t meet up with any of the Riveras alone. Miss Phoebe

might do something drastic to you as revenge for getting Anya arrested. Not to mention, Mister Jeremy would

never allow you to go meet with Miss Phoebe if he was here.”

At the mention of Jeremy, Corinne became upset. “Oh, so I need his permission to go somewhere now?” she asked

with a frown.

Tommy shook his head. “No, it’s not like that, Ma’am. Mister Jeremy is just concerned about your safety. It’s best if

you wait until he comes back before going to talk to Miss Phoebe about Mister Joey’s custody arrangement.”

Corinne scoffed. “Then tell me, when will he be back?”

Tommy hesitated for ten seconds before answering, “I’m not sure either. It seems the problems overseas are

trickier than we thought, so it’ll take him some time to sort things out.”

Corinne smiled coldly. “I can wait, but I’m not sure whether Joey can. I’m pretty sure I don’t need to remind you just

what sort of people Anya and her mother are. Do you really think Phoebe will treat Joey well? The kid is just an

innocent pawn, and legally speaking, he’s Jeremy’s son. Can you bear the responsibility if something happens to

him?”

“Well…”
