Sunny was a man, so he did not have anything to be embarrassed about. It was Corinne that he was


    worried about, but it became apparent that his concerns were unnecessary because she did not seem


    to show any fear of embarrassment. He decided to follow Corinne and apany her to the room next


    door. With Corinne around, he did not need to fear the possibility that Lucas might give him a good


    beating for confronting them.


    As they reached the door of the adjacent suite, they tried to eavesdrop on the situation within but could


    not sense anything odd. Corinne then raised her hand to knock on the door.


    Meanwhile, Edmund was closely monitoring the situation from the opposite suite when he saw Corinne


    and Sunny approaching the door. Their sudden presence startled him, and he needed to act swiftly as


    there was no time to seek further instruction from Lucas. As if by instinct, he opened the door and


    dragged the two persons in before closing the door shut. 1

    Corinne was caught off-guard when someone pulled her, and she was prepared to defend herself when


    she saw that it was Edmund. Her alertness turned to that of confusion, with Sunny being just as


    perplexed as she was.


    “Edmund?” Sunny asked. “Why are you here?’


    Edmund felt a headacheing and immediately responded, “I should be asking you that. And why did


    you bring Miss Corinne with you?”


    Sunny said with a frown, ’I saw Lucasing to this hotel, so I tailed him to find out what he was up to.


    Please be honest with me, Edmund. Is he having an affair with Sophia? Is that why he asked you to


    keep watch here?”


    Edmund’s lips twitched slightly as he struggled to understand Sunny’s suspicions.


    As Sunny looked eagerly at Edmund for an answer, Lucas’ calm, aloof voice resounded through the


    room. “Do you suspect me of having an affair with Sophia?”


    Sunny was startled and felt a chill down his spine. He turned to see that Lucas was sitting leisurely on


    the sofa with a cup of coffee.


    ‘Wait a sec! Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in the opposite suite?’ Sunny wondered.


    Lucas looked at Sunny’s petrified reaction. He took a sip of coffee before raising an eyebrow. “I take it


    you’re here to catch me in the act? And you even brought Corinne along! Quite an initiative on your


    part.”


    Beads of sweat were starting to form on Sunny’s forehead, and he was starting to feel guilty.


    Nevertheless, he still questioned Lucas, “Why would you meet Sophia at a hotel if you were just


    discussing business?”


    Lucas chuckled. ’Your boldness seems to have increased a lot during the past three years. To think


    you’d even start questioning my ns!”


    Sunny was fast losing confidence, and he had a frustrated frown. “I’m just concerned about you, Lucas!


    You know that Sophia isn’t a good person, and you’ll only get yourself in trouble if you’re involved with


    her! You agree, don’t you, Corinne?”


    Sunny sought support from Corinne and avoided confrontation.


    Corinne gazed calmly at Lucas and asked, “Could you please exin what’s going on?”


    Lucas’ expression softened involuntarily as he nced at her. “Come sit with me, Corinne.”


    Corinne went over and took a seat.


    Edmund caught sight of Lucas’ nce and immediately understood what Lucas was asking of him. He


    headed to the pantry and fetched a bottle of juice and a can of Coke, which he gave Corinne and


    Sunny respectively.


    Corinne graciously took the juice bottle, but she was in no mood for a drink. She looked inquisitively at


    Lucas and asked, “Did Sophia try to give you a hard time because of that piece ofnd?”


    Lucas smiled and shook his head. “It’s not that. The issue with thatnd has been resolved. The


    auction house has finally agreed to sell it to US at the initial price before Sophia raised it.”
