She did not say more about the topic. Instead, she asked, "And where is he? Why isn't he here?" "Mister Jeremy is on his way. He should be here in a little while." Corinne smirked. "He's always like this. He said he'd go get us sfood yesterday, but after he left, he never cback. Instead, he got his subordinates to deliver it." Tommy chuckled. "Ma'am, you've misunderstood. Mister Jeremy didn't want you to worry, so he didn't tell you the whole story. Yesterday, our people caught Anya. He was concerned she might deny being the mastermind behind Mister Joey's kidnapping, so he personally supervised the police interrogation and confronted her. Mister Jeremy also took care of Sophia. She and Anya won't be causing any trouble for us soon." 'Anya's been caught, huh? Good. I'll never have to worry about her coming for Joey again!' thought Corinne.

Corinne's eyes dimmed. She then pouted and returned to her seat.
Jeremy raised an eyebrow when he noticed her reaction. "What's this? Are you disappointed to see me?" "I thought it was the nurse bringing Joey's test results." "Daddy!" cried Joey happily with open arms when he saw Jeremy.
Jeremy walked over and held Joey in his arms. "Have you been a good boy? Did you listen to Mommy when Daddy wasn't around?" "Yes, Daddy.
