Chapter 1351


    Francine was helping Pam out when she saw what happened.


    “Jeremy, why is Corinne staying with the Rivera family? Aren’t you worried Lucas will try to steal her


    from you?” she asked, bewildered by the turn of events.


    Pam thought Francine was right to worry. ‘How could Jeremy let Corinne be taken away by Sunny


    and Lucas?’ she thought.


    Jeremy did not exin much. He simply said, “Lucas will never do that.”


    That still did not put Francine at ease. “How can you be so sure? He’s a man too! You shouldn’t trust


    another man so easily, Jeremy.”


    Annie rarely agreed with Francine, but this time, she did. She nodded and said, “Francine’s right. What


    are you waiting for? Things between you and Corinne are finally getting a little bit better! Why don’t you


    take this opportunity to bring her back home?”


    Seeing that she had Annie’s support, Francine felt she was even more right to worry. “Yeah! Go get her


    back now, Jeremy!”


    Jeremy frowned. “That’s enough! You go back with the grandparents first.”


    Francine could tell Jeremy was in a bad mood after Corinne left, so she dared not say anything else.


    She nodded meekly and said, “Fine…”


    She then turned to help Pam and Greg into the car.


    After making sure they were gone, Jeremy turned back to look sternly at Annie. “You go back too. By


    the way, did you tell your parents you’reing out at thiste hour?”


    “No…” answered Annie, lowering her head in shame. She did not have the time to tell her parents


    before she rushed over there.


    “Aaron, please send Annie back home. I still have some things to take care of here,” said Jeremy.


    Aaron smiled. “Sure. It’d be my pleasure.”


    Annie was speechless.


    Aaron smiled at Annie. “Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride home.”


    Annie helplessly followed Aaron to his car. However, she felt a little more relieved when she saw


    Jeremy and Corinne were reconciling.


    Jeremy went back into the police station after everyone left. He entered the interrogation room.


    The two police officers in charge of interrogating the silver-haired man were at their wits’ end since they


    failed to get any useful information from him.


    The silver-haired man was only brought into the police station after he had been treated in the hospital


    for the injuries Corinne inflicted. All of his limbs were wrapped in casts as he sat on the chair, making


    him a sorry sight.


    He had a smirk on his face since he knew the two police officers would not do anything to him.


    Anything they asked, he would simply reply with a silly answer.


    The two police officers stepped out of the interrogation room and closed the door after Jeremy came in.


    He sat down and asked steadily, “Who was the mastermind behind all this?”


    The silver-haired man hated how Jeremy thought everyone was beneath him, so he lifted his chin


    proudly and retorted, “There’s no one else. I’m the mastermind!”


    “Aren’t you afraid you’ll be sentenced heavily if you don’t tell me the truth?”


    “Jeremy Holden, you should worry about yourself instead of worrying about me. Everyone in this world


    now knows Corinne is your weakness. Even if I can’t get rid of you, somebody else will! Don’t ever


    think you can live a peaceful life from now on, you b*stard.”


    Jeremy’s expression remained impassive. “What if I tell you I know your weakness too?”


    The silver-haired man scoffed. “My weakness? I don’t have any close friends or rtives in this world.


    No one cares if I live or die, nor do I care if anyone lives or dies. What weakness could I have? I’m not


    like you. I’ll never fall in love with any woman!”


    “Is that so?” mused Jeremy. He slowly brought out a ne with a locket, the kind that could be


    opened, from his suit pocket. He saw what was inside, too.

    In the locket was the photo of a woman carrying a boy, and they were all smiles.
