Sunny was stunned when he saw it was Lucas’ car.
The car stopped in front of the gate, and the driver got out to open the door for Lucas.
Sophia was shocked to see Lucas coming out of the car too. However, she quickly smiled and said in a voice that obviously
showed she had been crying, “Oh, hey, Mister Lucas. You’re back.”
Lucas walked over to her and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “Who are you?”
Sophia was shocked once again. ‘He doesn’t remember me?’
While it was true Lucas rarely attended any social events, he and Sophia had met in the few business networking events he did
attend. They had even exchanged pleasantries with each other.
Sophia was not happy at being forgotten, but she did not show it. She chuckled wryly and said, “Allow me to introduce myself
again, Mister Lucas. I’m Sophia, a friend of Jeremy. We’ve met before.”
Lucas’ eyes became even more wary when he heard she was Jeremy’s friend. “So, why have you come to my house?”
“I was just explaining the purpose of my visit to Mister Sunny here. I heard Corinne was staying here, so I came to visit her. Look,
I even brought her some supplements to help with her pregnancy.”
As she spoke, she brought out one of the bottles of vitamins from the gift bag.
Lucas did not even bother to look at the bottle of vitamins since there was plenty at the house for Corinne.
“She needs all the peace and quiet she can get now, so I’m afraid I can’t let you in to see her,” said Lucas coldly before walking
past her.
Sophia was not going to give up that easily. She frowned and shouted, “Mister Lucas, I know why you won’t let me in to see
Corinne!”
Lucas stopped walking. “Since you knew, why did you come?”
“Don’t you think this isn’t fair toward Corinne? She has the right to know!”
“I agree. She does have the right to know, but not now.”
Sophia clenched her fists. “Aren’t you worried she’s going to hate you for not telling her You’re taking away her chance to say her
goodbyes to Jeremy, you know!”
Lucas turned around and stared at her threateningly as though he could tell what her hidden agenda was. “Even if she hates me,
that’s my problem to deal with.”
Sophia frowned. “You have no right to stop her from finding out about what happened to Jeremy! She and the baby should give
Jeremy a proper send-off!”
“Guards, send the guest away! Make sure she never shows her face around here anymore,” said Lucas impatiently.
“Yes, Mister Lucas!”
The servants quickly went out and carried Sophia away.
Sunny watched as Sophia became gradually smaller as she was dragged away before turning to look puzzledly at Lucas, who
came home earlier than usual.
“Lucas, what was she talking about? Did something happen to Jeremy? What’s all this talk about saying her goodbyes and
giving him a proper send-off?” he asked anxiously.
Lucas glared at Sunny. “Were you planning to open the gate for that woman just now?”
Sunny scratched his head. “Well, yeah... She was crying, and I thought it would be fine if I kept an eye on her when she came in.
It helps that she’s really Jeremy’s friend.”
Lucas knocked his head. “So what if she was crying? Does that have anything to do with you?”
