Chapter 740
“I’ll send you the restaurant location later. All you need to do now is to work hard at your job, replied Corinne and
before Jeremy could say anything, she had already hung up the phone.
The reason Corinne ended the call so quickly was because Francine had just come back from outside and was
standing in front of her and glaring at her vehemently. Corinne did not want to worry Jeremy with what was going
on at home so she was left with no choice but to hang up the phone.
Corinne was unfazed by the way Francine was glaring at her. She curled her lips into a nonchalant smile and asked,
“Why are you back? Didn’t you say you’re going to Anya’s place to hang out?”
Francine crossed her arms haughtily before sitting down on the sofa. “What I do is none of your business!”
Corinne let out a lazy yawn and said, “You’re right. It is none of my business but I should warn you, stay away from
Anya. She’s a bad influence on you.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtFrancine really liked Anya from the bottom of her heart since the two of them went way back. In fact, the latter had
bribed the former with sweets and whatnots ever since they were young so it was only natural that Francine would
wish Anya to be her sister–in–law.
When she heard Corinne telling her to stay away from Anya, she thought Corinne was jealous of Anya so she simply
rolled her eyes and said, “Corinne, what right do you have to tell me what to do? Who do you think you are? I like
hanging out with Anya ‘cause she’s a thousand times better than you and there’s nothing you can do about it!”
Corinne narrowed her eyes and said solemnly, “You ask me who do I think I am? Well, I’m your sister–in–law, that’s
who! I have the responsibility to discipline you on behalf of your brother. This includes forbidding you from being
friends with people who are a bad influence on you!”
In the first three months Corinne and Jeremy were together, they only saw each other as business partners so
Corinne did not feel like it was her responsibility to care about anything that went on in his family.
However, the situation had changed. She really had every intention to spend the rest of her life with Jeremy so she
felt like she had the responsibility to teach the spoiled Francine how to be a decent human being. Otherwise, there
might be a chance that Anya would use Francine as a means to get rid of her if she did not nip their friendship in
the bud.
Hearing what Corinne said made Francine rolled her eyes so hard that one would think she had become possessed
by an evil spirit. “Don’t make me laugh, Corinne! What makes you think I’ll ever listen to you? Surely you’ve
overestimated yourself.”
Corinne chuckled lightly as she slowly got up from the sofa. Then, without warning, she shot to where Francine was
sitting, twisted her arm to the bac, and pinned her down on the sofa. Francine yelped out in pain. “Corinne, what
the h*ll are you doing? Let go of me!” she said fearfully.
“Now do you still think I’ve overestimated myself?” Corinne whispered into Francine’s ear.
Enduring the pain that was shooting through her arm, Francine looked vehemently at Corinne from the corner of
her eyes and said, “Tsk! So what if you’re strong? My bet is you wouldn’t dare to hit me at all!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“I won’t hit you, that’s true. But it’s not because I’m scared. It’s just that it ain’t fun hitting an idiot like you,” said
Corinne with a smile. After that, she let go of her grip on Francine. Francine stood up and shook her arm up and
down to ease the pain. “Who are you calling an idiot! If anything, you’re the idiot here!”
Instead of offering her a retort, Corinne simply turned around and ordered the old butler, Bowen, you can ask all
the servants to take the rest of the day off after lunch is served ‘cause Miss Francine here had oh–so–graciously
offered to all the housework today.”
“Umm… forgive me Ma’am but… I don’t…” Bowen was so confused that he did not know what to say.
Francine glared at Corinne vehemently. “Corinne, have you gone insane? When did I ever offer to do that?!”
Corinned looked back at Francine with a raised eyebrow. “What’s wrong, Francine? I’m just abiding by what you said
this morning when you barged into my room. If I remember correctly, you said your family would not suffer any
lazy woman in this household so what’s so wrong with asking you to do the housework today? Besides, it’s not like
I’m going to do the housework since I have your brother’s protection so I won’t be cast out of the house even if I do
nothing all day but eat and sleep.”
