Chapter 702
Lucas‘ sharp gaze was fixed on his beloved younger sister who had been spoiled since childhood. “Are you sure you
were there and saw everything?”
Anya felt rather guilty as she met her brother’s gaze and showed a hint of grievance.” Positive! Do you still not
believe me, Lucas?”
Lucas narrowed his elegant eyes, a trace of doubt lingering in his eyes regarding his sister.” Then why did Joey
himself say that Corinne didn’t harm him?”
Joey said that? Anya’s expression stiffened for a moment, and she quickly realized that the phone call her brother
received earlier was from Edmund. Joey must have said something to Edmund, who relayed it to her brother over
the phone!

outwardly.
“Lucas, Joey is still so young. He can’t even speak complete sentences yet! How could he clearly describe in words
what happened? Edmund must’ve misunderstood Joey’s meaning!”
The doubt in Lucas‘ eyes did not dissipate. “Joey doesn’t need complicated descriptions, but Edmund showed him a
photo of Corinne and asked if the person in the photo harmed him. Joey consistently shook his head and said no.”
Anya blinked nervously, her eyes turning red. “Lucas, Joey had his back turned to Corinne when the attack
happened. He didn’t see the attacker, so it’s normal that he doesn’t know who the culprit is! I saw everything, and it
wasn’t just me who saw it. Even our family’s maid saw it!
Speaking of the maid who initially crouched down in a suspicious manner, Lucas did glance at the kitchen maid
standing nearby.
Initially, he had not paid attention to what the maid was doing, but he finally got a good look at her.
This maid was responsible for making nourishing soups for Anya on a daily basis, and they were close. Was it
possible, then…that they both conspired in advance?
Lucas did not want to think badly of his sister, but Anya had framed Corinne because of Jeremy before. Of course,
Anya sincerely repented and begged for forgiveness at the time.
As an older brother, he wanted to believe that his sister was just momentarily confused and truly realized her
mistake, that she would not do it again in the future.
However, a similar situation occurred again, and this was even worse, nearly resulting in loss of life!
If Anya was the instigator of this incident, she would be truly deranged, capable of using even her own child’s life
for her own benefit!
The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

Lucas furrowed his brow tightly and continued, “Edmund said that the child kept crying when they arrived at the
hospital. To calm him down, he showed him your photo, hoping that the image of his mother would soothe his
emotions. However, as soon as Joey saw your photo, he
broke down crying and kept saying he was scared. Why do you think that is?”
At this moment, Lucas‘ gaze toward his sister was filled with skepticism.
He did not want to believe that his sister, whom he had spoiled since childhood, could possess such sinister
intentions and be so ruthless.
However, he thought of Joey’s reaction upon seeing Anya after waking up. How could the child be afraid of his
mother if Anya had not done something terrible to him?
Lucas could not come up with a reasonable explanation to justify this situation.
Under her brother’s doubtful gaze, Anya could no longer maintain her facade of calmness. Unnaturally, she blinked
and forcefully explained, “Joey saying he’s scared…must be because. he was traumatized after being hurt, and it
left an indelible shadow in his heart. When he saw my photo, he must’ve wanted to find his mother and could only
cry since I wasn’t around…”
