Corinne bent down to pick up Joey, who put his arms around her neck.
“We can chat about all sorts of things. Plus, this’ll be a good practice before I give birth. You don’t need to worry, Miss Phoebe.
I’ll never take him away without your permission.”
“As if I believe you! Where am I going to find him if you secretly take him away? Come, Joey. How many times have I told you
not to let strangers pick you up?” said Phoebe angrily.
She then walked over and tried to pick him up from Corinne’s arm, but he clung to her tightly. This made Phoebe even angrier, so
she started prying Joey off. Still, he did not let go. That was how much he did not want to be with Phoebe.
In the end, Phoebe gave one last pull with all her strength, and only then did she pry Joey away from Corinne’s arms, causing
her to stumble back.
“Watch out, Corinne!” cried Jason, who kept himself hidden from Phoebe all this while. He quickly strode over to steady her. “Are
you okay? Did you hurt yourself anywhere?” he asked with concern.
“I’m okay,” said Corinne with a shake of her head. She then moved away from Jason, but it was too late.
Phoebe was stunned to see Jason coming out of Corinne’s room before a mocking smile appeared on her face.
“Well, fancy seeing you here, Jason. What are you doing in Corinne’s room so early in the morning? Tsk, tsk! Don’t you know
she’s a married woman?”
Jason smiled calmly and politely at Phoebe. “Aunt Phoebe, please don’t get this the wrong way. I only came just now to ask
Corinne to join me for breakfast.”
“Is that so? You two sure are chummy,” said Phoebe snidely.Books Chapters Are Daily Updated Join & Stay Updated For All

“We are friends after all,” said Jason with the same smile on his face.
“Friends? Ha!” Phoebe took out her phone and started recording them. “There’s no pure friendship between a woman and man.
Do you seriously think anyone will believe you only came to ask her to join you for breakfast?
“My, my. I’ve really underestimated you, Corinne. I thought your target was only Jeremy, but I see now just how insatiable you
are! Seems like you’re willing to throw yourself at anyone, including Jason, to get your hands on wealth and power!”
Corinne frowned and rolled her eyes at the troublemaker Jason. She then asked calmly, “Miss Phoebe, do you have any proof I
was throwing myself at Jason?”
Phoebe chuckled snidely. “Isn’t it obvious? I mean, I caught you two hanging out in the same room this early in the morning.”
Corinne smiled. “And is there a law that says two friends of the opposite *** cannot hang out in the room early in the morning?
Plus, we have both of our clothes on, so what seems to be the problem?”
Phoebe looked at their tidy clothes and frowned, but she still kept her phone aimed at Corinne and Jason.
“In any case, I have video evidence of you two hanging out in a room alone. Let’s see what the people online will say after I post
the video online!”
Corinne chuckled softly. She was so bored with the whole thing.
“Miss Phoebe, it’s obvious you haven’t learned anything from your last lesson. Otherwise, you wouldn’t use the same tactic of
trying to crush me with public opinion.”
