Before the servants could stop Phoebe, however, Lucas shouted, “Don’t stop her! Let her do whatever she wants!”
The servants stopped when they heard that.
Lucas chuckled coldly. “I’d like to see if a woman like her, who’s willing to do anything to achieve glory and wealth,
would kill herself.”
Seeing that no one was coming to stop her, Phoebe slowed down a little before bumping her head lightly against
the pillar before she pretended to pass out.
Lucas gestured with his chin for Edmund to check up on her.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtEdmund put his finger under Phoebe’s nose for a few seconds before standing up and reporting, “Miss Phoebe is
still breathing, so she’s probably just fainted.”
A hint of disgust flashed across Lucas’ eyes. “Ugh. You two there, carry her back to her room. She has caused
enough trouble for the day.”
The servants quickly carried Phoebe away.
“Don’t worry, she’s not going to die that easily. Next time, just let her be if she uses the same tactic to threaten you
all again. She’ll come around by herself given enough time,” said Lucas to the rest of the servants.
“Yes, Mister Lucas!” chorused the servants.
After that, Lucas turned to Corinne. “Corinne, are you okay? I hope she didn’t scare you.”
“I’m okay. Actually, I’m quite used to her theatrics since this isn’t the first time I’ve seen her go crazy like that,”
Corinne replied with a shrug.
Lucas smiled wryly. “That’s true. Well, let’s forget about the whole thing. We should head back to finish our
breakfast.”
Corinne waved her hand. “No, thanks. I kind of lost my appetite. You can go on without me. Jeremy and I will head
back to our room now.”
As much as Lucas wanted to talk with Corinne for a while longer, he did not stop her. “Okay, then. I’ll guess I’ll see
you later then,” he said with a nod.
Corinne turned to Jeremy. “Let’s go, Mister!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmThus, Jeremy—with Joey still in his arms—followed her back to their room.
…
Joey fell asleep not long after they got back into their room. It was the best sleep he ever had since he knew he was
safe with Corinne.
Jeremy, who was tired out from catching the red-eye flight, soon fell asleep next to Joey too.
Corinne’s eyes softened when she saw the two of them sleeping soundly on the bed. Even though she was still
angry at Jeremy, she could not deny she still cared about him. Thus, she walked over and draped the blanket over
him and Joey.
