Chapter 86

Corinne looked at Francine as her carefree demeanor dropped, revealing a more serious behavior. It was time to talk business.

“The only reason I came in to tell you all of this is that I want to let you know you don’t have to do all this just to kick me out of the house. When the time comes, I’ll leave on my own. Even when you want me to stay a second longer, I won’t.”

Francine was stunned. She asked curiously, “When the time comes? What do you mean?”

Corinne raised an eyebrow. “You don’t know? The reason your brother married me is that he wanted to gladden your grandfather, preventing his health from worsening. Three months from now, when your grandfather’s health is stabilized, our marriage will end. At that time, my job is done. You can let whoever you want be your sister-in-law.”

Francine frowned as she found it hard to believe. “Why should I believe you’ll leave when the time comes? Don’t try to fool me. I’ve seen all types of women; they’re always on the lookout for new ideas to be with my brother!”

Corinne smiled. “Miss Francine, is there a problem with your brain, or am I not being clear enough to you? I don’t care how good your brother is-he’s not my type! On the contrary, I wish to be away from him as much as possible! I hope these three months will end as soon as possible!”

Francine looked at Corinne dubiously and entered into a deep thought.

‘It doesn’t look like she’s lying. Does she truly have no feelings for Jeremy?”

“Oh! If you don’t wish to see your brother and I have a hard time separating, it’s better you don’t tell your grandma about the three-month period. I’m sure you understand her more than me. She’s very eager to see me pregnant. If she knows your brother and I are just a fake couple, she’d do anything to intervene. Kapish?”
