Chapter 696


    Although Lucas agreed to let Corinne try to revive Joey, he did not let his guard down. He stood aside


    and observed, instructing the servants around him to record the entire process on their phones.


    When the police arrivedter, the video would be handed over to them to prevent Corinne from making


    any moves for the sake of exoneration and then denying themter.


    The child had beenid t, and Corinne squatted on the ground, reaching out to open Joey’s eyelids


    and check. Then, she carefully performed some basic life-saving measures for him.


    Anya leaned weakly against her brother’s arms, sobbing as she stared at Corinne worriedly.


    Honestly, she could not care less about Joey; it was all an act for Lucas and Jeremy to see.


    However, only her brother cared for her. Heforted her softly, holding her tightly. Jeremy, on the


    other hand, had not nced her way once!


    Anya sneakily nced at that man who was beyond her reach.


    Jeremy stood on Corinne’s side, standing tall and straight like a carefree cypress tree. His hands were


    casually tucked in his pockets, his head slightly lowered, and his gentle yet powerful gaze unwaveringly


    fixed on the girl squatting on the ground, performing CPR on the lifeless Joey.


    At this moment, Jeremy looked much like the protective male protagonist who willingly stayed by her


    side, unwavering and without doubt.


    As Anya watched on, she felt an intense sting.


    She used to think that as long as she drove Corinne away, Jeremy would stay by her side. However,


    she finally understood that as long as Corinne did not disappear from this world, Jeremy’s eyes would


    never be on her.

    Thus, Corinne must die!


    She had to die!


    At this moment, Edmund returned, holding a small bottle and handing it over. “Miss Corinne, this is the


    first-aid kit you asked for.”


    Corinne quickly stood up and took the bottle, hastily unscrewing it.


    Anya saw the cheap bottle and immediately took advantage of the situation, crying out in a mixture of


    urgency and anger, “Corinne, you said you could save my Joey, but you’re using this basic first-aid to


    save him? This is a joke! How could basic first-aid revive Joey?”


    As she spoke, tears rolled down from her innocent deer-like eyes. She turned to her brother, seeking


    sce. “Brother, I knew I shouldn’t have trusted her! Joey has stopped breathing, but she’s using this


    cheap kit on him. How could medicine in first-aid kits possibly bring the dead back to life?”


    Lucas’ eyebrows furrowed. He felt uneasy as he looked at his sister’s sorrowful appearance. He stared


    at Corinne and asked, “Corinne, can you really do it?”


    Corinne merely stared at the siblings before she resumed. She poured out all the contents in the kit


    and squatted, smearing some powder onto the wound on the back of the child’s head. Then, she dug


    out a small red pill from under the pile of medicine.


    Ordinary people would not know that there was such a hidden treasure in the first-aid kit. This was the


    one thing she truly needed!


    Corinne pried open Joey’s mouth and ced the pill inside, then had someone bring some water and


    slowly administer it.


    The crowd watched eagerly, all their eyes fixed on the child lying on the ground, waiting to see if there


    would be any movement.


    However, even after moments had passed, Joey showed no reaction, remaining as motionless as a


    corpse.
