Chapter 310


    Before Chris revealed who it was that manipted him, he bowed at Corinne and apologized guiltily.


    “I’m very, very sorry for what I did, Miss Corinne. I did it under coercion, and I had no choice but to


    frame you. I’m sorry that I nearly caused an innocent person like you to be imprisoned.”


    Corinne had an indifferent expression, and she shook her head while saying, “It’s okay. You just need


    to tell the truth and clear my name.”


    “I promise I will, Miss Corinne!”


    Chris then began to tell the police the true story of what happened.


    “It all started like this. I was distributing flyers on the shore of Yonder River the other day, and I was


    sitting on a bench to rest for some time because I was too tired. There was this girl sitting beside me in


    a daze, and I figured I could just hand out a leaflet to her while I was resting.


    “I was doing my best to promote the barbecue restaurant to Miss Corinne that day, and she was kind


    enough to listen patiently to everything I have to say, unlike most people who avoid me just because


    I’m handing out flyers.


    “Aside from listening to everything I said, she even praised the location and epted my request for


    her to scan the QR code and sign up as a member of the restaurant. I was able to get themission


    from the restaurant because of that.


    “I met Miss Corinne for the first time that day, and I never knew who she was before then.”


    and took a deep breath before turning around and wiping her tears in her brother’s arms.


    Rosie was at a loss after losing her best friend’s trust. She


    red at Corinne angrily and pointed at her, saying, “You did this! You told this gangster to frame me


    just to absolve yourself from being the suspect! You’re evil, Corinne!”


    Corinne cocked her eyebrow and had a look of disgust in her eyes. “All I did was tell mywyer to find


    the mother and son and save them. I didn’t interfere with anything else, and I— just like everyone else


    here–only knew who truly instigated him when he mentioned your name. Didn’t think it’d be you again,


    Miss Rosie.”


    Rosie became frantic. “Don’t try and pretend to be innocent, Corinne! You won’t seed!”

    Red–eyed and distraught, she turned around and said to Lucas, “You can’t believe a word she says,


    Lucas! She deliberately designed this to clear her name and frame me!”


    Lucas nced at Rosie, then at Corinne, and there was a pensive yetplicated expression in his


    eyes.


    The two police officers walked toward Rosie and took out some handcuffs.


    “Miss Rosie, please stay here and cooperate with the investigation!”


    Rosie backed away in panic and could not ept that she was going to be handcuffed. “Anya… Help


    me…”


    Anya could not bear to be angry with her best friend when thetter begged for help. She walked up to


    Corinne to try and hold her hand, but Corinne politely avoided her.


    An awkward expression appeared on Anya’s face and she withdrew her hand resentfully while saying


    somewhat regretfully, “I’m sorry, Corinne. I didn’t know that this was the truth… You suffered so much


    these few days, but Rosie made a mistake for my sake in a moment of confusion. Is it


    okay if you let this one slide, forgive her, and give her another chance?”
