Chapter 781
Knowing Corinne had seen through him, Cedric cleared his throat guiltily. “Ahem! It’s not like that. I just want to
invite you over to thank you. My wife wishes to meet and thank you, too.” After thinking about it, Corinne asked,
“When should I be there?”
“Anytime you like.”
I
‘Lucas will be at work in the daytime, and Anya will be too busy taking care of Joey, so… might just have a chance
to dig up some information about my mother’s disappearance,’ thought Corinne.
“Okay, Grandpa Cedric. Since you insist, I’ll drop by your place today. But you don’t have to thank me for saving
your life, okay? Let’s just treat this as me wanting to spend some time with you.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Okay! You have my word!” said Cedric happily. “I’ll send the car to pick you up later.”
“Sure. Thanks.”
After hanging up the phone, Corinne saw the message Jeremy sent her earlier in the morning.
[Remember to have your breakfast after you wake up.]
Corinne smiled and typed, [Quit being a nagger, Mister!]
Corinne went to the bathroom to wash up before changing into some casual clothes. Then, she went downstairs
and saw all of the mess from last night had been cleaned up.
Bowen respectfully walked up to her. “Good morning, Ma’am. Your breakfast is already on the table. Please eat it
while it’s still hot.”
Corinne nodded. While walking toward the dining room, she asked, “Who cleaned up the mess last night?”
“It was Miss Francine, Ma’am. She didn’t sleep and spent the whole night wiping the floor clean and picking up the
broken vase pieces. To be honest, I was shocked to see the downstairs so clean when I came in. But, this being her
first time cleaning, she did miss a few spots, which I’ve asked the cleaners to go over.”
There was nothing in the world one could not learn if one put their heart into it. The fear of being scolded by Jeremy
must have served as a strong motivation for Francine to figure out how to clean up the mess. Corinne was
impressed.
“Where is she now?”
“She only went back to her room early in the morning. Poor thing must be exhausted,” replied
Bowen.
“Okay, let her sleep until whenever she wants.” Corinne sat down and started digging into her breakfast. “By the
way, Bowen. I’m going out after breakfast, but there’ll be a delivery for me later. It’s a present for Francine, so
please give it to her after she wakes up.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes, Ma’am,” said Bowen with a nod. Inwardly, he was overcome with a rush of positive
emotions. ‘Ma’am is still willing to buy Miss Francine things, even though they didn’t really start off on the right foot.
There’s still hope of them repairing their relationship after all.
Before Corinne even finished her breakfast, one of the servants came in and reported, “Mister Bowen, there’s a car
waiting outside, saying it’s for Ma’am.”
Bowen looked at Corinne with confusion. “Ma’am?”
Corinne put down her utensils and wiped her mouth gently with a napkin. “Yes, it’s for me.”
“But Ma’am, why not use the car we have?” asked Bowen worriedly. “There’s no need to get in some stranger’s car.
Who’s the person who sent the car to you?”
Corinne knew what Bowen was worried about, so she said, “Don’t worry. I’ve told Jeremy where I’m going and who
I’m meeting with, and he said he’ll pick me up tonight.”
Bowen nodded. “Okay then. Have a safe trip, Ma’am.”
“Will do. Bye now.” Corinne walked out of the mansion and got in the Riveras’ car.
