Chapter 436
Not wanting to wake her up from her dreams, Jeremy got up and walked to the door. He planned to go take a short
rest in the study but just when he was about to reach the door, he suddenly realized something was off.
‘How come I don’t hear any breathing sound coming from the bed at all?’ A jolt shot through his heart and he
quickly turned on the light. He scanned the room and a frown xo.com fast updateimmediately appeared on his
face when he realized there was no one in the room at all.
He hurriedly walked to the bed and pulled off the blanket. It was empty!
‘Where could that little rascal be at this time of the night?”
He took out his phone and called her, only to find her phone was ringing on the bedside. That phone used to be his
but he already gave it to Corinne.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt‘How come she didn’t bring her phone out?’
A sudden thought occurred to him and he quickly walked over and opened the wardrobe. Her clothes were gone!
His pupils shrank to pinpoint size and his face darkened. “Bowen!” he shouted.
Bowen hurried over and asked, “What’s the matter, Mister Jeremy?”
Jeremy glared coldly at him and asked, “Where’s she?”
Bowen looked bewildered. He glanced around the empty room, then at the men’s clothes in the wardrobe, and
immediately knew something was wrong.
“Mister Jeremy, ma’am went straight back to her room after dinner and we never saw her coming down. She has
been feeling easily tired lately so she always goes back to rest in her room quite early in the evening. I’ve even
instructed the other servants not to bother her/”
Jeremy’s jaws tightened as he gritted his teeth. “Well, what are you still standing here for? Go find her! Don’t even
think of coming back here if you don’t find her.”
“Yes, Mister Jeremy. Please don’t worry. We’ll look for ma’am right away,” said Bowen fearfully.
However, they looked throughout the night and when morning came, they still could not find any sign of Corinne
which was weird since all of the surveillance footage did not show her leaving the house at all.
Jeremy sat resignedly and silently on the first floor’s sofa. His eyes were red and there was a cloud of sinister air
surrounding him, making him look like one of those malevolent and
bloodthirsty gods.
‘She has run away,’ he thought. Just how desperate was she to get away from him that she
went through all the trouble to make sure she was not captured by the surveillance cameras and only took the
route where she knew there to be the surveillance cameras’ blindspots?
‘Good. Very good. I expected nothing less of you, Corinne Carew,” said Jeremy to himself.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmFailing to find Corinne, Bowen and the other servants were waiting anxiously for Jeremy to meet their punishments.
The air in the room was thick with tension and every sound Jeremy made caused the servants to want to get down
on their knees and beg for mercy.
At that moment, Tommy hurried over and reported, “Mister Jeremy, we’ve checked the airport, bus stops, and
hotels. There were no records of Ma’am ever going there. We also went to the Carews’ house but she wasn’t there
as well. They said ma’am went over yesterday but they did not see her since she took back all the engagement
gifts you asked me to send over to their house.”
Jeremy leaned against the sofa and put his hand on his forehead. He looked exhausted, depressed, and murderous
all at the same time as if the whole world was hanging by a thread.
After thinking about it, Bowen bravely opened his mouth and said, “Mister Jeremy, ma’am had someone deliver her
things yesterday and I’m guessing those are the engagement gifts Mister Jenkinsons are talking about. I’ve asked
the servants to put them in the storeroom.”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes wordlessly.
“Mister Jeremy, ma’am seemed to have only taken with her the paintings you gifted her and nothing else.”
‘Well, she certainly planned this well. She even made sure to return the engagement gifts,’ thought Jeremy.
