What was this? Did this little rascal just recall bidding him farewell?
Corinne turned and smiled at Rosie. "Sorry to make you spend a grand, Miss Rosie, and I almost forgot to say goodbye to you, too."
Jeremy's face sank.
Rosie was stunned for a moment, feeling that Corinne's words had an ominous undertone to them, but she could only respond with a smile as all eyes were on them. "Oh, you're too polite, Corinne!"
Corinne smiled, walked toward her, and returned Rosie's 'warm' hug before she whispered in her ear, "I just forgot to clarify with Miss Rosie that I never urged Jeremy to divest, and I didn't even know that he invested in your family. You just provoked me, is all.
"If I ever wanted to seek revenge, I'll do it myself, and I'll never punish you by provoking your friendship with Jeremy. If I do it myself, it'll be worse than what he would've done. I don't cause trouble, but I'm not afraid of it either.
"If you dare to challenge me again, I'll kill you."
Rosie felt a chill
