Chapter 313


    When Corinne was gone, Anya came over anxiously and asked, “What’ll happen to Rosie now?”


    Lucas came back to his senses and said solemnly to his sister, She’s an adult now. She can think for


    herself. It’s only just for her to bear the consequences of her actions.”


    “But Rosie’s my best friend! We can’t just leave her alone…”


    “Enough. I don’t want to hear a word of it. You should go home with Sunny.”


    Inside the police station’s restroom, Corinne came out after washing her hands, and Gabriel–who had


    been waiting for her in the corridor–stepped forward and respectfully handed her a tissue. After that, he


    handed his cell phone to her and said, “Mister Aaron called. He wants to talk to you.”


    Corinne took the tissue and wiped her hands before answering the call.


    Aaron’s voice came from the other end. “How’s everything, boss? You okay there?”


    “Everything’s fine. You did a good job of finding the witnesses in time, so you’ll get a reward once I’m


    back.”


    Aaron answered awkwardly, “It wasn’t me, boss.”


    Corinne’s expression froze. “It wasn’t you? Are you saying they escaped by themselves?”


    “It’s not that, either! I arrived toote, and they were already


    rescued when I got to their location.”


    “Who rescued them?”


    “If my guess is right, it was Jeremy’s men. His subordinate, the one named Tommy, sent some people


    to investigate


    Chris’s family in the past few days. He found everything one step before us.”


    Corinne was startled, and she remained quiet for a long time.


    Aaron then added, “If I may, boss, Mister Jeremy is actually—”


    Before he could finish his sentence, however, Corinne hung up the phone annoyedly.


    Gabriel could see that Corinne was not too pleased, so he asked cautiously, “Would you like toe


    with meter?”


    After Corinne tossed the phone back to him, she waved her hand and said, “Thanks, but no thanks.


    You should head back to yourw firm now that things on my end are done.”


    “Understood.”


    The two of them left the police station one after the other.

    Gabriel bowed to Corinne to say goodbye before turning around and leaving in his car. Corinne


    narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Gabriel’s car drive away. As soon as she looked away, she


    was stunned to see Jeremy waiting at the entrance to the police station…


    Her mood was a littleplicated when she saw him again, and she immediately froze in ce. The


    man wore a suit and leather shoes, and he was leaningzily against the front of an expensive white


    sports car. A cigarette was held at the tips of his long fingers and he was smoking nonchntly as if


    waiting for someone.


    When he spotted Corinne standing there like an idiot, he raised his hand and made ae–hither


    movement. “Come here.”


    Corinne hesitated for a moment before walking over. “Mister.”


    Jeremy let out a puff of smoke, narrowed his eyes at her, and nced in the direction that Gabriel’s car


    left. “You have a lot of connections, Corinne.”
