Most of the bodyguards chased after the thief, and one stayed behind to guard Corinne.
Joey started crying out of shock. Francine was panicking as well. “Corinne, are you okay?”
Corinne nodded. “Yeah, I’m okay. You should go comfort Grandma. She must’ve had a fright.”
“Okay, sure.” Francine immediately went over to Pamela with Joey in her arms.
Corinne watched as Francine and Joey left. A minute later, she raised her head and said to the bodyguard standing
next to her, “Help me to the fountain. I want to sit for a while.”
“Yes, Ma’am. Please be careful. Baby steps now.” The bodyguard carefully helped Corinne to the fountain. “Is here
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtokay for you, Ma’am?” he asked once they got to the fountain.
“Yup,” Corinne replied with a nod. She pretended to sit down, but then she suddenly pushed the bodyguard into the
fountain.
She had already escaped quite a distance away by the time the bodyguard got out of the fountain. He immediately
shouted, “Quick! Chase after her! Miss Corinne has escaped!”
The bodyguards who were standing by the car quickly chased after her.
However, all of a sudden, a few women dressed the same as Corinne appeared in the crowd. It was all very chaotic
since the bodyguards could not tell which was Corinne. Thus, they had no choice but to split up and approach every
suspect.
“Hey, you! Stop there.” The lead bodyguard saw someone dressed like Corinne enter a black minivan, so he quickly
summoned his subordinates to block the minivan.
The minivan stopped in front of them. A second later, the driver honked once, rolled down the window, and poked
his head out. “What do you guys think you’re doing?”
The lead bodyguard walked up to the window and said forcefully, “Please let Miss Corinne out of the car.”
“Miss Corinne? Who the heck is that? There’s no Miss Corinne in my boss’ car!” shouted the driver angrily.
“I saw her getting into your car. Don’t blame me for doing something drastic if you don’t let her out,” threatened
the lead bodyguard.
The driver was furious. “Do something drastic? You’re gonna do something drastic when you’re the one who

At that moment, the back seat window slowly rolled down to reveal Aaron’s smiling face. “Actually, I’m quite
interested to know just what kind of drastic measure you’ll take.”
The lead bodyguard recognized Aaron to be Corinne’s friend, so he toned down his thuggish behavior.
“Mister Aaron, I know you’re a friend of Miss Corinne, but that doesn’t give you the right to take her away. Please let
her out.”
Aaron raised his eyebrow. “What are you talking about? I don’t even know she’s here. Otherwise, I would’ve said hi
to her.”
“Mister Aaron, we all saw her getting into your car just now.”
“Well, you must’ve seen wrong, ’cause she’s really not in my car.”
