Corinne would hate to be one of those women whose whole world revolved around a man. Previously, she left
Jeremy once because of the misunderstanding Anya caused, so she did not want to make the same mistake again.
She would wait for Jeremy to return and explain everything to her, but until then, she had to brace herself for the
worse. As a matter of fact, she was proud of herself for being so clear-headed. After all, how could she expect her
husband to be loyal when her own father was a dirtbag who betrayed her mother?
Also, she read many reputable social research reports that said the probability of men cheating on their pregnant
wives was very high. Previously, she thought Jeremy was better than most men, or at least he was not the fickle
type. However, the recent incident made her believe all men, with no exception, were the same; they all liked to
sow their seeds around.

Seeing how listless Corinne looked, Tommy became worried she suspected Jeremy of something he did not do. In
the end, however, he just said, “Yes, Ma’am.”
After driving for two hours, they finally arrived at the Riveras’ summer villa.
Corinne exited the car and narrowed her eyes on the building in front of her.
The summer villa was truly a sight to behold. Emblazoned across the marble fixed on a gate was the word ‘Rivera’.
It was obvious the architect had taken a page out of classical Greek or Roman architecture, making it seem like
they had been transported back in time.
‘I can’t believe that evil woman Phoebe still gets to stay in such a nice place after committing so many crimes!’
thought Corinne.
Tommy walked up to the gate and rang the doorbell.
A kindly old man appeared on the monitor. “Who’s this?”
“I work for Mister Jeremy Holden, and his wife has come to visit Miss Phoebe. We have obtained Mister Cedric’s
permission to do so.”
Having received instructions from Cedric about the visit, the kindly old man nodded and said, “Please wait a
moment.”
Not long after, a servant came out to welcome them. “Miss Corinne, this way please.”
The fact that the servant called her ‘Miss Corinne’ instead of ‘Missus Holden’ made it obvious he was none too
happy about receiving a guest from the Holden family.
The servant brought Corinne and Tommy to the drawing room. A minute later, they were served tea and snacks.
“Miss Corinne, please wait here for a moment. Ma’am will be down soon after changing her clothes.”
Corinne nodded and reached out to take a piece of snack.

“Ma’am, Mister Jeremy has given me strict instructions not to let you eat anything while you’re here,” said Tommy
in a bid to stop her.
Corinne frowned, but she shrugged and pulled back her hand.
A few minutes later, Phoebe appeared in the drawing room. Even though she was approaching 50 years old, she
did not look a day over 30 years old. She was dressed lavishly, so much so that it would be hard-pressed for anyone
to think she was in any way affected by her unfavorable situation.
Phoebe glared at Corinne with hatred. “Fancy seeing you here, Miss Corinne,” she said sarcastically.
Corinne smiled at her. “Hello, Miss Phoebe. I trust that you’ve been well since I last saw you.”
“You must be disappointed to see me looking so well,” said Phoebe with a smirk. “Did you think I’d become a shell
of my former self just because Anya is arrested? Well, you couldn’t have been more wrong. This is nothing
compared to all the storms I’ve weathered before. Just wait—I’ll make a comeback in no time.”
