Chapter 947


    Jeremy would never call Lucas under normal circumstances. The only connection Lucas had with


    Jeremy was Corinne.


    ‘Did something happen to Corinne?’ fretted Lucas. He answered the phone right away.


    After listening to what Jeremy had to say to him, Lucas’s pupils shrank, and he said firmly,


    “Understood. I’ll be at home today.”


    When the call was over, Lucas closed hisptop and said to the driver, “Make a U-turn and send me


    back home.”


    The driver was a little startled to hear that. He thought he had misheard Lucas, thus he repeated,


    “Does that mean you’re not going to thepany today?”


    “Yes. Turn the car around and bring me back home.”


    “Understood.”


    Lucas ran into Jeremy when he arrived back home. Thetter had just dropped Corinne off.


    When Lucas saw Jeremy’s car, he told the driver to stop at the gate so he could open the door and get


    off. He immediately walked toward Corinne.


    Jeremy had just gotten out of the car with Corinne too. He tucked a lock of hair behind her ear and


    leaned in to whisper something to her.


    Then, he straightened his posture and looked at Lucas, who had just arrived. With a serious


    expression, he said to Lucas, “Take care of her on my behalf.”


    Lucas nodded. “I’ll take care of her even if you didn’t tell me to.”


    Jeremy said nothing else. He patted Corinne’s head and said, “Call me if you need anything.”


    Corinne nodded. “I will. You should get going now, or you’re going to bete!”


    Lucas then invited Corinne in warmly. “Come in with me, Corinne.”


    Corinne nodded and followed Lucas in.

    After watching Corinne enter the gate, Jeremy got into the car and drove away slowly.


    The door to the house was several hundred meters away from the gate.


    Corinne followed Lucas quietly. She had nothing to talk to him about.


    Lucas, wanting to ask her something, turned and spoke softly, “I’m d you came home, Corinne.


    Though, I can’t help but wonder why you’re here.”


    Jeremy said on the phone that Corinne woulde by the Riveras, but he did not specify why Corinne


    would be there. He knew that Corinne could not havee back to recognize his family, so there had


    to be another reason for her presence there.


    Corinne looked straight ahead as she said, “I’m here to chat with Anya.”


    Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly. He was a little surprised that Corinne came to look for Anya.


    The rtionship between Corinne and Anya had turned tense after what happened thest time


    around, which begged the question of why she would want to meet Anya.


    Before Lucas was able to ask any further questions, they soon arrived at the door of the house. When


    they entered, they heard Anya’s mother—Phoebe—speaking to her inws.


    “Dad, Mom, haven’t you seen the news online? I knew long ago that Corinne isn’t a good person, but I


    can’tment on her because she saved Dad. This recent expose merely confirmed my suspicions! I


    don’t think she saved you by pure coincidence. It had to have been orchestrated!”


    Cedric always had a good impression of Corinne. Therefore, he kept an open mind and held a wait-


    and-see attitude despite reading the rumors floating online.
