Lucas sat upright, crossed his fingers, and put them on the knee of his crossed legs. This was a signal that he was going to be serious from that moment onward. "Before answering that, may I ask you a few questions, Miss Corinne?" he asked at a leisurely pace."Of course.""Two nights ago, were you at the embankment around Yonde River?""I was." A nod from Corinne."And why were you there? Were you perhaps feeling down and wanted to get some fresh air?""What does my feeling have to do with the case?" Here, Corinne's eyebrows furrowed.Something flashed across Lucas' eyes. "Trust me, it does. Miss Corinne, please don't try to avoid the question, and just answer it as truthfully as you can."Corinne tried to recall her emotions from that night. It was so complicated, she did not know how to explain herself."I was feeling bored and wanted a change of pace, so I went there."Lucas smiled. "Anya returned from abroad two nights ago. Your husband, Jeremy Holden, specially prepared

Corinne did not panic at all as she did not believe a word Lucas said. Why would she, when she did nothing wrong? There was no way a camera could record something that never even happened in the first place."Alright, why don't you play the video, then?" she asked calmly.Lucas jerked up his chin once, gesturing to the secretary to turn on the television in the room. Then, he connected the mobile phone to the television screen so that everyone could watch the video.The video showed a female influencer standing on top of the embankment railing. A selfie stick was held high up in her hand, and it was obvious she was doing a live broadcast. The angle of the selfie stick happened to allow her phone camera to capture the street behind her, and Corinne could be seen in the right corner of the video.She was sitting alone on a bench, drinking Coke, and looking up at the sky. She was too far off to be able to tell what she was feeling. However, she did seem a little sad and lonely to be s

"That's him! The man who is sitting and talking to Miss Corinne is Chris Tate, the perpetrator who we arrested for attempted rape," said one of the police officers sharply at the point in the video.The police officer then turned around and looked sternly at Corinne. "Miss Corinne, what do you have to say for yourself?"Corinne's expression remained relaxed. She did not say anything, though her lips were twitching. 'My, my. Looks like they had pulled out all the big guns on framing me. First, that devious Lucas asked me all those seemingly-irrelevant questions, but he actually did it to establish my motive! I can't believe he chalked it down as me being jealous. Then, he hit me with concrete evidence in the form of this video.'Anya flung herself into Lucas' arms, trembling and crying, when she saw the man who tried to assault her in the video. "Lucas, that's him! He ripped off my clothes and tried to…"A murderous glint flashed across Lucas' eyes at the thought of Anya, the apple

Jeremy was still calmly sipping on the straw, choosing to remain silent. Anya thought he had said something, so she leaned in closer and tugged on his sleeves. "Jeremy, are you okay?"No words, still. In fact, he did not even spare her a glance. No one knew what he was thinking about.Lucas could not help but walk over to Anya and put his arms around her after seeing her getting the cold shoulder. He threw an unhappy glance toward Jeremy before turning back to face Corinne."Miss Corinne, I don't think you're a wholly bad person since you were willing to extend a helping hand to my grandfather two days ago. Not many people would be willing to do that for someone they've never met before. However, when it comes down to securing your interest, you'll become this ruthless woman who finds joy in hurting the innocent, am I right?"Corinne knitted her eyebrows in consternation. "Securing my interests? What interests are you talking about?"Lucas narrowed his eyes. "The only reason you d

Faced with the pressure, the police officer anxiously tried to string his sentences together and give Jeremy a reasonable explanation for why Corinne had to be handcuffed to the bed. After all, he had heard from the confrontation earlier that Corinne was Jeremy's wife.However, Jeremy did not say anything and merely walked past the policeman and placed the cup in his hand back on the cabinet beside the hospital bed. The end of the straw was already flattened from his chewing on it.After placing down the cup, Jeremy stood beside the hospital bed and glanced at Corinne with a convoluted and incomprehensible expression.Corinne's indifference wavered somewhat when she faced his silent gaze. She frowned, looked right into his eyes, and lowered her face again as she said sullenly, "I didn't do it.""Okay." His tone was very calm as if there was no trace of doubt.Corinne was startled and looked up at him again. 'What does he mean, okay? Doesn't he doubt me even when the evidence is fo

After coming out of the ward, Anya looked around the hospital corridor to search for Jeremy, who had just left. Alas, she did not see any trace of him in the corridor, despite the few minutes' difference between the time she and he came out. 'Where did Jeremy go?'At long last, the stairwell door in front of the corridor was pushed open, and Tommy walked in with a serious expression.Anya walked over immediately just in time to meet him.Tommy nodded slightly and greeted her. "Miss Anya."Anya nodded in return and asked, "Mister Tommy, is Jeremy in there?"Tommy replied truthfully. "Yes. He's inside.""I'll go in and see him, then." Anya then walked over and pushed the stairwell door open.Tommy did not stop her, and he merely glanced at Anya's back as she went in. There was a somewhat conflicted look on his usually calm and steady expression, but he walked away in a hurry because he still had to do some work that his boss had instructed him to do.…Anya walked into the stair

The three of them walked down to the hospital lobby together, with Anya turning heads as she walked between the two handsome men.They had to pass by Corinne's ward to go down, and the police officers were still guarding the door there.A man with a briefcase was explaining to the police officer his purpose for being there.Lucas recognized the man from a distance and he narrowed his eyes. "Is that Gabriel Franklin?"Gabriel was well-known for being a big shot in the legal world. He was the founder of the city's number-one law firm, in addition to being the director of the Newmoon Group's legal department. He generally took major business cases, which made it all the more surprising that he would show up in person just to handle a small case of attempted assault.Anya recognized the lawyer too, so she turned her head to look at Jeremy in disbelief. She had a sad frown on her face as she said, "Do you still trust Corinne? Did you go so far as to hire Gabriel to defend her?"Jeremy

While Corinne was leaning on the bed head with her eyes closed, someone knocked on the door, and an unfamiliar 40-something woman came in."Who are you looking for?" Corinne opened her eyes and looked warily at the woman. 'Why would the police officers let a random stranger in? Who is she?'The middle-aged woman bowed respectfully and said, "Miss Corinne, I'm the nurse that Mister Tommy sent. You can call me Nancy. I'll be here to take care of your diet and your daily needs. Don't hesitate to let me know if you need anything."Corinne raised her eyebrows. "Tommy? Tommy Jenkinson?"The middle-aged woman nodded. "Yes. That's him."Corinne frowned a little. 'Why did he hire a nurse for me out of the blue? Did Jeremy leave? Guess he doesn't believe me anymore, not that I'm surprised since he and I don't have any sort of genuine relationship in the first place! Funnily enough, he seemed to have told me that he liked me and wanted me not to put a wall between us, and I almost believed i
