‘Is he still talking on the phone with the apple of his eye?‘
Corinne knew who Jeremy had received instructions from, since there could not have been anyone else aside from Anya. Postponing the divestment from the Suttons for further observation was undoubtedly done out of courtesy toward her.
It made sense and should not come as a surprise.
Corinne thought for a moment and said to Tommy, “I’ll go with you, but could you wait a moment for me, please?”
‘Wait? For what?‘ Tommy looked puzzled. “May I ask how long and what for, ma’am?”
Corinne had a calm look on her face as she replied, “Until I settle things with Rosie.”
Tommy was even more puzzled. He frowned and had a bad feeling, but as soon as he was about to ask in more detail, Corinne walked toward Rosie who was half–lying on the bed in an injured state.
As soon as Corinne approached them, Sunny stood up

Rosie, however, cursed silently at Sunny for being such a dimwit when she heard him say that. After all, anyone with the slightest bit of IQ could tell that Corinne was up to no good, and the appropriate response would be to have one’s guard up against her ulterior motives!
As Rosie thought of that, she deliberately exaggerated the pain on her face and said sarcastically, “Forget it, Corinne. You don’t need to feel responsible for my injuries. It’s your right not to help me fly a kite. I don’t blame you at all. I can only blame myself for being unlucky…”
Corinne walked past Sunny to the bed, looked at Rosie’s agonized expression, and insisted, “But I have to.”
Rosie frowned and looked at Corinne defensively. A pitiful look of helplessness appeared on her face as she said, “Didn’t I say
