Chapter 1505
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 accompany 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.

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 headache coming 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 Lucas coming 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 plans!"
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?"

Corinne gazed calmly at Lucas and asked, "Could you please explain what's going on?"
Lucas' expression softened involuntarily as he glanced at her. "Come sit with me,
Corinne."
Corinne went over and took a seat.
Edmund caught sight of Lucas' glance 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 of land?"
Lucas smiled and shook his head. "It's not that. The issue with that land has been
resolved. The auction house has finally agreed to sell it to US at the initial price before
Sophia raised it."
