"She didn't do it," interjected Jeremy before Anya could finish her nonsensical sentence.Anya was saddened by this. "Jeremy, do you trust her that much? You've only known her for a month plus…""We're husband and wife. That should be reason enough for me to trust her," said Jeremy mindlessly, not getting what Anya was hinting at as all of his attention was focused on the situation inside Corinne's ward.'Husband and wife…' Those three little words caused Anya's face to stiffen, but she quickly put on an innocent smile. "You're right. There must be a misunderstanding. Corinne is a good person, after all."…Rosie and Sunny strode out of the elevator."Jeremy, we rushed here as soon as we heard!" exclaimed Rosie angrily. "Corinne has done it this time. How can she be so evil as to hire someone to assault Anya when she hasn't even done anything to her? Heck, Anya has only been back for a couple of days.""Watch what you're saying. We haven't gotten to the bottom of it yet," said J

After hearing the resignation in the police officer's voice, Rosie, having first-hand experience of Corinne's deviousness, started shouting angrily, "That d*mn woman isn't only evil but cunning as well!"The more she thought about it, the angrier she became."Rosie, you shouldn't jump to conclusions. What if it really wasn't her?"Rosie was stunned. She looked at Sunny incredulously. "Are you serious, Sunny?"She might not be brave enough to talk back to Jeremy, but she was definitely not afraid to do the same to Sunny."Sunny, this is Anya we're talking about! How can you side with an outsider and not your sister?"A troubled frown appeared on Sunny's face. "Rosie, you shouldn't make such baseless accusations about me. I'll always stand by my sister no matter what. It's just that…I don't think Corinne is the kind of person who'd do such a thing. Besides, have you forgotten the many times you've wronged her?"Rosie opened and closed her mouth like a fish gasping for air, having

Jeremy was not someone the police officers could afford to cross. At the same time, Lucas made it clear to them that they must not let Corinne off the hook easily. Facing pressure from both sides, they were at a loss for what to do at that moment."Who said there's not enough evidence?" Lucas' crisp clear voice came from the elevator."Lucas!" exclaimed Rosie happily. Her eyes immediately lit up at the sight of him.Lucas strolled over leisurely with a kind of self-assuredness that only the very wealthy like him and Jeremy could possess.A certain level of confidence fell over Anya's face when she saw Lucas walking over to them, but she chose to remain standing passively next to Jeremy. She did not want to leave his side if given a choice.Sunny was awed and nervous at the same time. He wanted to make a run for it but decided it would be worse if he got reprimanded for that."Lucas, good timing! The officers said Corinne would only confess to her crimes if there was circumstantia

Lucas nodded gracefully. "Then, might I trouble you officers to bring me in to confront the suspect Corinne Carew?"The police officers exchanged a look with each other before taking Lucas into Corinne's ward. Jeremy, too, calmly followed them in. However, the police officer standing guard by the door held up his hand and stopped him with a frown on his face."Sorry, Mister Jeremy. The case is still under investigation. As someone who's unrelated to the case, it's better if you wait outside.""How come he can go in, then?" asked Jeremy with a raise of his eyebrow.The police officer knew he meant Lucas when he was referring to 'he', so he tried to explain as nicely as he could. "He's related to the case. He's acting as a witness to circumstantial evidence and has the right to confront the suspect.""Who told you I have nothing to do with this case?" asked Jeremy, narrowing his eyes."Huh? Mister Jeremy, how are you related to this case…?" asked the police officer curiously."I w

'Ahh, all these people are driving me crazy!' thought the police officer standing guard by the door. 'All of them have valid reasons to go in. D*mnit, I shouldn't have let the others inside in the first place.'It would be hard to explain himself if he let the others in while keeping the rest of them out. In the end, the officer irritably waved his hand and said, "Fine, the two of you can go in, but keep quiet so you don't distract my colleagues from their work."Rosie immediately thanked the police officer and pulled Sunny into the ward with her.The police officer smacked his forehead in exhaustion. 'Good thing the formal interrogation process is over. It should be more casual this round, so there's nothing wrong with letting them in.'Since Lucas was Anya's older brother, making it inconclusive whether he would be a reliable witness, it was the officers' supervisor's intention to let him confront Corinne to see whether he would be of help to cracking the case. Should Lucas prove

Corinne looked at Lucas. "Looks like the 7.5 million dollars check wasn't well spent. Didn't you promise you'll leave me alone for a year once you get the money? A day hasn't even passed, and here you are."Lucas was already used to Corinne's unpredictability. His thin lips curled into a smile, and he cordially said, "Miss Corinne, now isn't the time to joke around. I wouldn't have come to bother you if the victim wasn't my own sister."Corinne took a leisurely sip of the straw. "Regarding that case, I've told the police officers everything. You're more than welcome to ask them for information about the case."Lucas stared coldly at her. "I've come here to confront you with the consent of the police officers."Corinne raised her eyebrow. "Confront me?"Jeremy was stationed beside Corinne's hospital bed, and at that moment, one of the police officers in the ward said to him, "Mister Jeremy, please step to the side. The new witness is now having a confrontation with the suspect. Pol

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
