After that, everyone told Corinne not to risk her own life to save strangers in the future and went back to eating.

Just as she was thinking about it, she noticed Benjamin was sneaking out of the door when no one was paying attention.
She frowned but did not stop him. Instead, she calmly observed him, got up, and followed him out.
When Benjamin heard the waiter who had just cto pick up Lilin say that her family was in the lobby downstairs, he guessed that Jeremy might be among them. He wanted to go down and have a look.
After he slipped out, he quickened his pace to chase the waiter and Lilin. In his haste, however, he missed a step and almost fell down.
Fortunately, someone behind him caught him in time.

"Mom... Mommy! Why are you out, too?" Corinne did not intend for him to find out that she followed him out. She wanted to see where he was going.
However, she could not stand by and do nothing when x] saw Benjamin was about to fall.
"Where are you sneaking off this time?" she asked.
Benjamin started to panic. "I... | just want to go downstairs to have a look..." Corinne narrowed her eyes sternly. "At what?" "Just...to have a look..." Corinne scoffed. "Tellthe truth now. You do know that girl just now, don't you? And that's why you wanted to go downstairs to have a look." There was no hiding from Corinne anymore, so Benjamin answered honestly with a pout, "Yes... Mommy, nothing ever gets past you, huh?" Corinne raised an eyebrow. "You know you can't hide anything from me, so why don't you tell the truth quickly? Who was that little girl? How did you know her?" Benjamin lowered his eyes and sighed. "She's my aunt..." 'Aunt?' Corinne was a little surprised. "What do you mean? Is she Sophia's sister?" Benjamin nodded. "Yes, she's Sophia's sister." "I thought Sophia was Adam's only child? So where did her sister cfrom?" asked Corinne skeptically.
"They're half-sisters born to different mothers. Sophia was an only child before Lilin calong. Many people didn't know about Lilin and her mother because they liked to keep a low profile." Corinne tried to process what Benjamin said. 'If the girl just now was Sophia's sister, then wouldn't her mother be Sophia's stepmother? In other words, the person | saved back then is Adam's current wife?’
