“Quiet down!” roared Jeremy angrily after he came out of his room.
Francine jumped with fright when she heard Jeremy’s voice. After that, she suddenly realized something. “Jeremy, you’re back.
Were... Were you also in the room? What were the two of you doing in there?”
Jeremy did not feel the need to explain himself to Francine, so he simply scolded her, “You should be sleeping at this hour! Go
back to your room now.”
“No wonder Corinne ran away from home. Anyone would leave a husband like you,” muttered Francine under her breath so
Jeremy would not hear her. She then glared at Sophia before walking off.
Sophia simply shrugged. “You saw how she treated me, right, Jeremy? That’s why I had no choice but to sleep in your room!”
“Please bear with the situation for at least this one night. I’ll arrange for you to stay at the hotel tomorrow, and you won’t have to
see her anymore,” said Jeremy glumly.
“Fine.”
After that, she went down to the living room to watch the television.
Jeremy did not really care about Sophia. He only came out to stop the fight between Francine and Sophia as he could not stand

The moment he went back to his room, he received a call from Tommy. Thinking it was news about Corinne, he quickly
answered the phone.
“Sir, we’ve checked all of the immigration records, and there was no record of Miss Corinne leaving the city. We always have
eyes on all the highways, and there were no signs of her. She must still be in the city,” reported Tommy.
Jeremy’s heart sank. “Continue to look for her! Leave no stones unturned until you find her!”
“Yes, Sir!”

Six months later.
The new Holden Group building was finally completed. The company would be moving in three days later, and there would be a
ribbon-cutting ceremony with many reporters in attendance.
At least, that was the plan. There was an unwritten rule in the construction industry that the architect who designed the building
must participate in the ribbon-cutting ceremony. Otherwise, bad luck would befall the building occupants and their safety.
As superstitious as the rule sounded, most of the architects would still choose to join the ribbon-cutting ceremony. After all, being
photographed with the building they designed would give them a sense of achievement.
Gradually, what started out as a superstition turned into an irrefutable belief to the extent that if the architect did not show up to
the ribbon-cutting ceremony, he or she was as good as cursing for the building occupants to fail.
This went especially for big corporations. All of the buildings they occupied were mostly skyscrapers, so safety was their utmost
concern. Even the shareholders insisted the architect had to be present for the ribbon-cutting ceremony.
Superstition aside, who would not want to make sure their business kicked off with a great start?
