Francine frowned unhappily. “How is my family selfish?”

“Don’t you think it’s selfish to keep Corinne tied to your family? I mean, Jeremy has been

missing for three years, yet Corinne still had to raise his kids and run the company, giving

her no time to start her life afresh. What’s even sadder about the whole thing is the two of

them never even got legally married.”

Francine knew Jason was right, but she still retorted through gritted teeth, “Jeremy is

missing, not dead! He’ll come back one day.”

Jason smiled coldly. “He would’ve come back if he could. It’s impossible for him to

abandon Corinne and the babies, no?”

Not able to win the argument, Francine decided to just stop him from going into Corinne’s

office. “There’s no use saying so much. In case you’ve forgotten, you’re in my territory, so

you can’t go in unless I say you can!”

Jason took one step toward her. “What if I hit on you instead?”

“What? Did you say you were going to hit me? As if I’d believe you’ll be stupid enough to

do that here,” said Francine fearlessly.

Jason took a few more steps toward her until she could feel his breath on her face.

“I’m not going to hit you. What I said was, what if I hit on you instead of Corinne since you

don’t like me courting her? I don’t mind changing my target since you’re getting more and

more beautiful by the day.”

He lifted her chin as he said that.

Francine already had someone she liked in mind, so she instantly exploded with rage at

his touch. She slapped his hand away and shouted, “Get lost! Don’t touch me with your

stinky hand!”

She instinctively took a step back, allowing Jason to open Corinne’s office door and slip in.

It was already too late by the time Francine realized what he was doing, so she had no

choice but to stay there fuming.

Corinne was tapping away on her keyboard when she heard the door opening. She

assumed it was Francine who had come in since there was no knock.

“What brings you here again?” she asked.

“Hey, Corinne. You busy?” asked Jason with a smile.

Hearing his voice, Corinne stopped typing and looked up at him.

“Why are you here?” she asked with an annoyed expression on her face.

Jason was already used to her unwelcoming attitude. He pulled out and sat on the chair

across from her.

“I’ve come to see how you’re doing. The shareholders aren’t that easy to deal with, huh?

Did those old farts cause you any trouble?”

Corinne turned her attention back to her computer. She then replied absent-mindedly, “It

was okay. They’re not that hard to deal with.”

Jason was impressed by her work ethic. “Do you really mean what you said? Are you really

happy to stay with the Holdens and work for them for free?”

Corinne continued typing as she answered, “What do you mean? How am I working for

them for free when I get a salary from the company?”

Jason chuckled lightly. “I think you’re the only company president in the world that gets a

salary and nothing else. You should ask for your bonus and other benefits as well for all

the work you’re doing!”

“I’m not the type to be so calculative toward family members,” said Corinne nonchalantly.

Jason frowned at the word ‘family’. “Only you see them as family. I’m pretty sure they

don’t think the same way.”

Corinne gave him a side-eye. “Is that so? Tell me, then—what do you think they’re

thinking?”

“You really want me to say it out loud?”

Corinne smiled. “You might as well since we’re already on the topic. So go ahead, I’m all

ears.”

Jason smiled back at her. “Okay, then. I think they’re just using you.”

Corinne raised an eyebrow. “Oh? Do elaborate.”
