Francine was helping Pamela out when she saw what happened.
“Jeremy, why is Corinne staying with the Rivera family? Aren’t you worried Lucas will try to steal her from you?” she
asked, bewildered by the turn of events.
Pamela thought Francine was right to worry. ‘How could Jeremy let Corinne be taken away by Sunny and Lucas?’
she thought.
Jeremy did not explain much. He simply said, “Lucas will never do that.”
That still did not put Francine at ease. “How can you be so sure? He’s a man too! You shouldn’t trust another man
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtso easily, Jeremy.”
Annie rarely agreed with Francine, but this time, she did. She nodded and said, “Francine’s right. What are you
waiting for? Things between you and Corinne are finally getting a little bit better! Why don’t you take this
opportunity to bring her back home?”
Seeing that she had Annie’s support, Francine felt she was even more right to worry. “Yeah! Go get her back now,
Jeremy!”
Jeremy frowned. “That’s enough! You go back with the grandparents first.”
Francine could tell Jeremy was in a bad mood after Corinne left, so she dared not say anything else. She nodded
meekly and said, “Fine…”
She then turned to help Pamela and Greg into the car.
After making sure they were gone, Jeremy turned back to look sternly at Annie. “You go back too. By the way, did
you tell your parents you’re coming out at this late hour?”
“No…” answered Annie, lowering her head in shame. She did not have the time to tell her parents before she
rushed over there.
“Aaron, please send Annie back home. I still have some things to take care of here,” said Jeremy.
Aaron smiled. “Sure. It’d be my pleasure.”
Annie was speechless.
Aaron smiled at Annie. “Let’s go. I’ll give you a ride home.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmAnnie helplessly followed Aaron to his car. However, she felt a little more relieved when she saw Jeremy and
Corinne were reconciling.
Jeremy went back into the police station after everyone left. He entered the interrogation room.
The two police officers in charge of interrogating the silver-haired man were at their wits’ end since they failed to
get any useful information from him.
The silver-haired man was only brought into the police station after he had been treated in the hospital for the
injuries Corinne inflicted. All of his limbs were wrapped in casts as he sat on the chair, making him a sorry sight.
He had a smirk on his face since he knew the two police officers would not do anything to him. Anything they asked,
he would simply reply with a silly answer.
The two police officers stepped out of the interrogation room and closed the door after Jeremy came in.
