Chapter 539
“Corinne, you should know that you won’t be able to get away with what you’ve done once everyone sees what
happened in the surveillance footage. Lucas will sue you for hurting Joey. I’m giving you a chance to turn over a
new leaf ’cause after all that’s said and done, you’ve helped Jeremy with his family before and I see you as a friend
so I would advise you to take the olive branch while it’s still being offered to you!”
The way she spoke was so righteous and affectionate that those not in the know might think. Anya was nothing but
a kind-hearted and forgiving little angel.
However, Corinne saw through her. She smirked and said, “Miss Anya, your kind gesture is noted. However, I’m the
type who’s willing to pay for my own mistake so if the surveillance footage showed what you said I did, then I would
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtturn myself into the police station and sit out my prison terms no matter how many years it’s going to be.”
Anya glared at her and inwardly gritted her teeth. However, as the “victim”, she still remembered to maintain her
big sad puppy dog eyes look. Her back was against the corner now and it would make her very suspicious if she still
insisted on not going to the restaurant to view the surveillance footage. Even Lucas who was her staunchest
supporter forever was starting to doubt her.
“Fine! We’ll have it your way!” She then acted as if Corinne did not appreciate her effort. After taking a deep
breath, she added, “Lucas, I wanted to let Corinne off the hook this time since I’m worried that you’ll punish her too
severely in your bid to mete out justice for Joey after seeing the surveillance footage.
“But since Corinne doesn’t seem to appreciate my kindness, and even implied that I was lying, it would be foolish of
me to keep worrying about her. In any case, I don’t think I need to be merciful anymore so let’s go to the
restaurant now.’
The doubt in Lucas’ eyes finally disappeared after hearing her say that. “Okay, let’s go then.”
By then, Joey’s nanny already arrived at the hospital so after giving her a few instructions, Anya could finally leave
without worry.
Corrine, however, was wary about the sudden change in Anya’s attitude.
‘She must have something up her sleeve. If not, why would she suddenly not be afraid of being exposed for her
lies? She knows the surveillance footage would show everyone what happened.
With his arm around Anya, Lucas then steered her out of the ward but before they left, he threw a warning glance
at Corinne who was deep in thought and asked mockingly, ” What are you still standing there for? Don’t you want to
prove your innocence? Come on, let’s
Bol
Corinne snapped out of her thoughts, nodded, and followed them out of the hospital.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJason immediately walked next to her and asked quietly, “Corinne, where did you go just now?
”
“Nowhere. I just walked around the hospital to clear my head.
“Oh. For a moment there, I thought you abandoned me.”
Corinne gave him a side-eye. “Mister Jason, you’re not a kid anymore so even if I ‘abandoned’ you, you can still go
home alone. Besides, all this doesn’t concern you at all.”
Jason smiled flirtatiously at her. “No, we came here together so we need to leave here together. That’s what
couples do!”
Corinne was speechless.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes when he saw Corinne and Jeremy walking shoulder-to-shoulder with each other.
Suddenly, he received a call from Tommy.
“Mister Jeremy, I’ve already checked every OB-GYN record in the city and Miss Carew is definitely.”
