Chapter 1478
"Oh. Well, Sophia was the only person when I went into her booth," replied Corinne.
"That's good. It'll be easier to settle the matter if her father isn't here," said Lucas.
Corinne observed Lucas quietly. Somehow, she could not help but feel something was not
right.
Lucas knew Corinne was looking at him. He did have something on his mind, but he was
not ready to reveal it to her yet. Thus, he turned to look out of the window to avoid her
gaze since he could not control his expression well.
When he went to talk to the person in charge, the person showed him the surveillance

On the screen, Lucas saw that Sophia had come with a man and a boy. Even though the
man was in a wheelchair, he was sure that it was Jeremy.
Lucas could not really get a good look at the boy since the surveillance footage only

care of the three kids had taken a lot out of her. Moreover, she spent quite some time
running frantically around the auction house's second floor to look for the missing 'Bryan'.
Thus, she was mentally and physically exhausted as well.
Francine came out to welcome them home. She lifted Christine and talked to her before

Francine. "Did the auction not go well?"
