Chapter 1326


    Sophia pretended to be shocked. “Mister Lucas, do you have any proof I was behind the fliers? You


    shouldn’t use me if you don’t have any proof. I swear I’m only here to make sure Corinne is okay as


    Jeremy’s friend. I mean, I thought it’s the least I could do since Jeremy is not with us anymore…”


    She started to get teary as she spoke.


    Lucas never fell for a trick like this. He was in a rush to get back to Corinne, so he wanted to cut his


    conversation short. “That’s enough. You’re not wee here. Corinne doesn’t want to see you at all.”


    Realizing she would need to take a harder approach with Lucas, Sophia said steelily, “Mister Lucas,


    can I ask what your rtionship is with Corinne? What right do you have to speak on her behalf? What


    right do you have to stop me from seeing her?”


    “Of course I have the right. As for what my rtionship with Corinne is, that’s none of your business,”


    replied Lucas coldly. After that, he stepped into the pantry room. He thought that Sophia would not


    back down so easily, so he was pleasantly surprised when she did not follow him in.


    After he filled up the thermos with some warm water, he went back to the corridor and saw Sophia


    nowhere in sight. Not thinking too much about it, he quickly walked back to Corinne’s hospital room.


    However, Corinne was nowhere to be found in her hospital room. Her hospital bed was empty with the


    nket thrown off.


    Lucas’ pupils immediately shrank. He threw the thermos to the ground and quickly called the hospital to


    ask them to seal off all exit points to prevent Corinne from leaving.

    It was already toote; Corinne was already out of the hospital by then. She was in so much of a rush


    that she did not even change out of her hospital gown.


    She only stopped running when she came to a junction that was quite far from the hospital. Panting,


    she took out her phone and was about to call Aaron when a red sports car stopped in front of her.


    rm bells immediately started ringing in her head. She was afraid that it was Lucas’ men who came


    to haul her back to the hospital, so she instinctively backed away from the car.


    However, the car’s window slowly rolled down to reveal Sophia’s sultry face.


    “Get in, Corinne. I’ll bring you to see Jeremy,” she said with a straight face.


    Corinne sighed with relief when she saw it was Sophia and not Lucas’ men. However, she did not trust


    her either.


    Sophia knew this too, so she said, “You were going to call either Xante or Aaron to pick you up, right?


    You should know they won’t bring you to see Jeremy. They’ll just send you back to the hospital. Think


    about it. They knew what happened to Jeremy long before you did, yet they decided to hide it from you,


    just like Lucas did. Why would they bring you to see Jeremy?”


    Corinne raised an eyebrow. “Then why would you bring me to see him?”


    “Because I’m just like you; I don’t believe he’s dead. I’m going to the crime scene to look for clues. Of


    course, I’m not familiar with the ces here. Heck, I can’t even read some of the words in this country.


    It’ll make my work easier if I bring you with me.”


    Corinne stared at her thoughtfully when she heard Sunny shouting, “Corinne! Come back. You


    shouldn’t have run off like that! Come back!”


    ‘Sh*t! He’s going to haul me back to the hospital if I don’t get in the car right now!’ thought Corinne. She


    nced back at Sunny and, without a moment’s hesitation, got into Sophia’s car.


    However, because of her protruding belly, she found it awkward to fit herself into the sports car, so


    Sunny nearly caught up to her. It was only due to Sophia’s quick reaction that she was able to get away


    from him.


    She floored the gas pedal, and they left him in the dust.Text ? 2024 N?velDrama.Org.
