Corinne was at a loss for what to do with Joey. On one hand, she did not want to traumatize him further with

abandonment issues, but on the other, she did not want to saddle herself with him.

In the end, she decided it was more important to get him to sleep. Thus, she said, “There, there. I’m not going

anywhere. Go to sleep, and we can have breakfast together tomorrow morning.”

“O…kay…” said Joey before closing his eyes and falling asleep.

The next morning, Corinne brought Joey down for breakfast after they had both washed up.

Even though both Pamela and Greg were very fond of Joey, the little boy still felt scared in the new environment.

Thus, he clung to Corinne like his life depended on it.

After breakfast, Corinne needed to discuss something with Xante and Aaron at the company, so she gave Joey

some pep talk before handing him over to Francine to look after.

However, the moment she stepped out of the house, she saw Tommy and a line of bodyguards blocking her way.

“Good morning, Ma’am,” Tommy greeted her respectfully.

“Why are you here? Don’t you need to be at work?” she asked with a confused frown.

“I am working now. Mister Jeremy has arranged for us to be here.”

Corinne raised her eyebrow unhappily. “Why did he do that? Where is he now?”

“Mister Jeremy caught a flight back to Molomia last night. Before he left, he instructed us to stand guard at this

mansion to protect you round the clock.”

‘He flew back to Molomia last night? My, my. He sure is in a rush to go back to his legal wife,’ thought Corinne.

She chuckled coldly and said to Tommy, “I appreciate his gesture, but I don’t need you to protect me. Consider

yourself and the others dismissed. You’re free to do whatever you want.”

After that, she tried to walk past them, but the bodyguards would not allow her to do so.

“What is the meaning of this?!” she asked with a darkened face.

“Mister Jeremy has said you’re not allowed to leave this house until the baby is born,” explained Tommy.

Corinne frowned unhappily. “Move aside! I’m a grown woman. I can go anywhere I want!”

The bodyguards remained unmoved.

“Ma’am, Mister Jeremy thinks it’s best for you to stay at home to ensure nothing bad happens to the baby. He also

said you can go out all you want until you’ve given birth,” said Tommy respectfully, trying to persuade her.

Realization suddenly dawned on Corinne. “He’s trying to keep me under house arrest, isn’t he?” she asked

contemptuously.

Tommy shook his head. “No. Mister Jeremy is doing this for your own good. He’s not stopping you from meeting

anyone since you’re allowed to invite friends and family to this house.”

Corinne scoffed. “And what if I insist on going out?”

Tommy bowed apologetically. “With all due respect, Ma’am, you won’t be able to do that.”

“Is that so?” challenged Corinne. She hated nothing more in this world than to be threatened.

At that moment, Pamela walked over and smiled kindly at Corinne.

“Corinne, I’m sure Jeremy is only doing this for your own good, so why don’t you just stay at home for the baby’s

sake? I’ll cook whatever you want to eat, and you can even invite your friends over. I’ll ask the kitchen to prepare a

sumptuous feast for them.”

Corinne looked sideways at Pamela, who she always respected, with eyes filled with cold disappointment. She

thought the old woman was on her side, but she realized she had been on Jeremy’s side all along.

‘Seems like the Holdens have made up their minds to keep me under house arrest!’ thought Corinne.

She said nothing to Pamela. Instead, she went back to her own room to survey the situation from the balcony.

Not only were there bodyguards at the main entrance of the mansion, but there were also some stationed every 90

meters outside the gate. She could not escape even if she had wings!
