Chapter 741
Corinne then continued, “It’s different for you, though. If you want to get married in the future, you’d want a well–matched and
wealthy family, yes? Don’t you think you’ll only embarrass yourself if you were sent back by your in–laws because you’re not
diligent enough and can’t even do basic chores? I’m specifically creating a learning opportunity for you, and I believe you’ll be
able to do it by starting with your chores.”
“You...” Francine gritted her teeth, evidently irked. “You’re a sly woman, Corinne! I’m not going to do these dirty house chores
regardless of what you say today! Hmph!”
Corinne remained calm as she said, “If you don’t want to do it, that’s fine too. This household doesn’t need a second idler in this
household aside from me, so I’ll tell your brother to send you to live with your mom once he comes back later tonight.”
She came to know about Francine’s weakness earlier that morning when Jeremy reprimanded Francine, and it turned out that
Francine drew the line at leaving the Holdens and having to live with her mother.
Though the reasons behind that might be unclear, it was sufficient that Corinne knew what the reason was.
Francine nearly lost it at that moment, and she pointed angrily at Corinne. “Corinne, you... You... You...”
Corinne smiled devilishly. “What’ll it be, then? The chores, or living with your mother?”
Francine did not want to do the chores, but she was genuinely afraid that Corinne might tell Jeremy to send her away. After all,
Jeremy was bewitched by Corinne’s beauty and could not extricate himself from her charm. As a result, he would listen to every
single thing that Corinne said.
‘D*mn you, Corinne! I’ll get my revenge on you one day!‘
Francine gritted her teeth and caved in. “Fine, I’ll do it! This is just a bit of housework anyway!
“I can’t wait to see the results.” Corinne smiled, then turned to Bowen and said, “I won’t be home after lunch, Bowen, and I’m
sure you’ve heard Miss Francine willingly say that she’ll be doing all the housework. If anyone dares to help her with the work,
their actions are to be construed as tendering their resignation. I hope you can set an example for the other servants and
supervise her on my behalf.”
Bowen was taken aback by her courage. “Yes, Ma’am!”
Francine stared at Corinne viciously, wishing that her stares were potent enough to kill Corinne, but Corinne ignored Francine’s
glares and walked leisurely back to her room. She then changed into the clothes that she planned to wear when she went out.
After lunch, she looked at the time and saw that it was still far too early for Jeremy to get off work. It would be such a bore to wait
for him, and she did not want to sleep again like a lazy woman, so she decided to go to Newmoon Group.
Xante and Aaron were very excited to see her when she arrived at the president’s office.
Aaron joked, “You look pretty rosy today, boss. Did you have a wonderful night last night?”
Corinne’s cheeks turned slightly red. She flipped through the documents in her hand, raised her eyes, and glanced at him
sullenly. “Can’t you think about something else?”
