Chapter 683
The Riveras.
A servant entered respectfully and reported, “Mister Lucas, Miss Anya, Mister Jeremy of the Holdens have arrived!”
Anya, feeling helpless due to Joey’s disappearance, leaned against Lucas’s chest, sobbing uncontrollably. When she
heard that Jeremy came, she regained some spirit and sat up straight, looking toward the entrance.
Sure enough, the tall and slender figure of Jeremy walked into the living room of the Riveras. Unfortunately, he was
not alone. He was accompanied by Corinne, who he held gently by the hand.
Anya’s eyes, which just lit up, froze for a second. Her face turned gloomy, and she clenched her fists tightly. At the
same time, her crying grew louder.
Lucas, who also saw Jeremy leading Corinne toward them, wore an extremely displeased expression in his eyes,
with a cold face and furrowed brows.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAt a time like this, Jeremy brought that woman, Corinne, along. Wasn’t it enough for Anya to suffer such a blow?
Jeremy led Corinne to stand in front of the Rivera siblings. His expression was serious as he asked in a deep voice,
“What happened? Have you found the child?”
Anya wiped her tears and sobbed, “Jeremy, you’re here! Joey, still hasn’t been found.”
Jeremy furrowed his brows, his eyes filled with deep intelligence. “He was perfectly fine, how could he suddenly
disappear?”
Choking back her sobs, Anya explained, “I put Joey to sleep at night. Once I saw he was asleep, I went to the
bathroom for a moment. But when I came out, Joey was gone! I searched everywhere, but couldn’t find him.”
Jeremy narrowed his long gaze. “What about the surveillance at home?”
Concerned about his sister’s unstable emotions, Lucas gently patted her shoulder to comfort her, then took over
the conversation. “We’ve checked the surveillance at the main gate and around the walls. It’s confirmed that the
child didn’t leave during this time.”
Jeremy said, “Since we are certain that the child didn’t run away, he must be hiding in some corner of this mansion.
Get a few search dogs and search carefully!
“Jeremy, what should we do? I’m really worried about Joey. He’s so young, what if something happens?” Anya stood
up weakly, as if seeking support, and leaned toward Jeremy like a floating duckweed.
Jeremy seemed to have anticipated this and timely took a step back, moving behind Corinne, consciously avoiding
any suspicion.
As a result, Anya almost leaned on Corinne, but fortunately, she stopped herself in time. However, her face could
not help but show a hint of embarrassment and awkwardness.
Corinne looked at Anya approaching and remained calm, politely smiling at her.
“Miss Anya, even if you’re heartbroken from losing the child, you should seek comfort from the appropriate person.
Mister Jeremy is a married man and should maintain his husbandly virtues. It’s not convenient for him to comfort
you.”

mean that, I just lost my balance.”
Corinne chuckled, watching Anya’s skilled act, and lightly sneered, “Is that so? You lost your balance, huh? Well, you
should be careful in the future. When you can’t stand steady, lean against the wall, not on someone’s husband.
Otherwise, you might fall to the ground easily.”
Anya’s face turned stiff and pale. “You!”
Lucas’ could not stand seeing his sister being ridiculed and stepping forward, saying, “Corinne, you have no right to
speak here!”
Before Corinne could react, Jeremy’s arm swiftly embraced her from behind, his tone calm but filled with a
threatening undertone, “Lucas, you’d better watch your attitude when talking to my wife!”
“Wife?” Lucas’s refined and elegant face contorted into an extremely angry sneer. “Jeremy, you have ruined my
sister’s lifelong happiness, and yet you’re to bring up wife in front of her, hurting her heart! What kind of a man are
you?!”
