Chapter 1478


    “Oh. Well, Sophia was the only person when I went into her booth,” replied Corinne.


    “That’s good. It’ll be easier to settle the matter if her father isn’t here,” said Lucas.


    Corinne observed Lucas quietly. Somehow, she could not help but feel something was not right.


    Lucas knew Corinne was looking at him. He did have something on his mind, but he was not ready to


    reveal it to her yet. Thus, he turned to look out of the window to avoid her gaze since he could not


    control his expression well.


    When he went to talk to the person in charge, the person showed him the surveince footage to


    confirm his story.


    On the screen, Lucas saw that Sophia hade with a man and a boy. Even though the man was in a


    wheelchair, he was sure that it was Jeremy.


    Lucas could not really get a good look at the boy since the surveince footage only managed to


    capture the top of his head due to his height. Based on his height, he looked to be the same age as


    Bryan and Christine.


    Lucas did not dare tell Corinne about what he saw as he worried she would do something rash out of


    impulse. In the end, he decided to look into the matter before considering whether to involve Corinne.

    When they arrived at the Holdens’ mansion, Corinne and the kids went inside after waving goodbye to


    Lucas.


    Lucas’ smiling face immediately darkened after he made sure Corinne and the kids had gone in safely.


    “Find out where Sophia is staying, and bring me there right away,” he ordered Edmund.


    The order stunned Edmund, so it took him a few seconds to reply,” Understood, Mister Lucas.”


    ‘Mister Lucas sure is acting weird today. Why, though?’ wondered Edmund.’ Is he going to make


    Sophia suffer for deceiving Miss Corinne?’


    Corinne copsed onto the sofa as soon as she entered the living room with the kids. She was so tired


    that she did not want to move anymore.


    Even though most of her time at the auction house was spent sitting on the chair, taking care of the


    three kids had taken a lot out of her. Moreover, she spent quite some time running frantically around


    the auction house’s second floor to look for the missing ‘Bryan’.


    Thus, she was mentally and physically exhausted as well.


    Francine came out to wee them home. She lifted Christine and talked to her before she turned to


    Corinne, who seemed lost in thought. “Corinne, are you okay?” asked Francine. “Did the auction not go


    well?”


    Corinne snapped out of her thoughts. “I saw Sophia. Thend that we wanted to buy belongs to her


    father, Adam. She was there to artificially increase the price. In the end, we only managed to get the


    <pnd at a price ten times more than the market price.”
