Phoebe thought back to what happened last time and concluded she did lack conclusive evidence.
All of a sudden, she spotted something under the bed from the corner of her eyes.
‘What’s that?’ She quickly put Joey down and strode over before bending down to pick up a pair of rumpled
pajamas and lace-trimmed underwear from under the bed.
She zoomed in the camera lens of her evidence while laughing maniacally. “Hahaha! I found the evidence! Pray tell,
what’s all this doing under the bed if you two didn’t do the hanky-panky as you said?”
Corinne could not help but blush when she remembered how her pajamas and underwear came to end up under
the bed.

She walked over to take back the clothes, but Phoebe quickly hid them behind her.
“What? Feeling guilty now, are we? Don’t even think of destroying the evidence!”
Corinne frowned. “Those aren’t evidence. They’re just clothes which I’ve changed out of.”
Phoebe giggled sarcastically. “Are you sure about that? Would a normal person hide their clothes under their bed
after changing out of them? I think not! They must’ve ended up under the bed while you two were in the throes of
your passion! Give it up, Corinne! I’m going to tell everyone in the Holden family about your affair. Ooh, I can’t wait
for them to kick you out of the house!”
It was true. She did not take the clothes off herself; Jeremy did that while she was sleeping. ‘God, this is so
embarrassing!’ she thought as Phoebe waved her underwear up in the air.
Jason walked over. “Miss Phoebe, this is all a misunderstanding. I really arrived here a few moments ago. You can
ask the servants if you don’t believe me. They’ll tell you they saw me walking here in the morning.”
Phoebe gave Jason the side-eye. “Do you think I’m stupid, Jason? You two would of course do anything to cover up
the affair. The servants seeing you in the morning doesn’t prove anything. In fact, it might be a tactic of yours for
misleading us to think otherwise.”
Exasperated, Jason was very close to pulling out his hair. “Miss Phoebe, do you really have to think of us that way?”
“Ha! You should just drop the act since you called you and her ‘us’!” said Phoebe mockingly. “Why did you suddenly
come here if it wasn’t for Corinne? How did you end up in her room when you so obviously didn’t come with her
yesterday? I bet you’re taking this opportunity to have an affair with her since Jeremy isn’t here.”
Jason frowned. He wanted to explain his way out of this, but he did not know where to start.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmSuddenly, the bathroom door opened, and a man’s voice rang out threateningly, “Who says I’m not here?”
Stunned, Phoebe looked at Jeremy with wide-eyed horror.
Jason, too, was stunned. He turned around and a hint of surprise flashed through his eyes.
Only Corinne was unfazed by Jeremy’s appearance.
Jeremy, wrapped up in a bathrobe, walked over to Corinne.
“Miss Phoebe, why are you so hellbent on causing trouble for my wife?”
“J—Jeremy… What… What are you doing here?” stuttered Phoebe.
“I came to find my wife.”
