Chapter 1498
Sunny shrugged his shoulders. “Okay, then. I'll go for a walk there and come
back at noon to get some lunch. Your treat, of course!”
Corinne glanced at him in disdain and placed down her coffee cup. “I'm pretty
sure that's the main reason you came here.”
Sunny got up with a grin and strolled out. He did not want to disturb Corinne at
work.
Corinne sat alone for a while with a complicated expression on her face. She
seemed to be in deep thought, but she soon got up and went to work.
Sunny left to spend time with a friend who owned a cyber cafe in the city. As it
neared noon, he was invited to join them for a meal, which he declined. Once he
had enough fun, he left the place and made his way back to Corinne’s company.
One of his friends handed him a low-alcohol drink while he was gaming, so he
felt that it was unsafe for him to drive. He decided it would be best to take a taxi.
Along the way, he passed by his family’s company, and Sunny had a sudden
idea. He asked the driver to stop the car for a while and took out his cell phone to
call Lucas.
“Where are you, Lucas? Let's have lunch together at noon. I'm meeting Corinne
for lunch!”
Lucas replied sonorously, “My hands are a little full this afternoon, so I can't make
it. Behave yourself, and don’t make Corinne angry.”
Sunny smiled heartily and said, “I'm not the naive kid I was ten years ago, okay?
I'm a man now. I won't make her angry.”
Lucas responded, “I hope so.”
Sunny then asked, “By the way, what are you so busy with that you can’t get
lunch?”
Lucas replied, “Grown-Up stuff. Don’t be a busybody.”
Sunny was not too happy that his concern was met with a scolding from Lucas.
“I'm a grown-up now too, Lucas! Forget it then, I won't ask if you don’t want to
share. I'm going to meet Corinne now. See ya!”
After ending the call, Sunny was about to ask the driver to continue driving when
he spotted Lucas walking out of the company building’s entrance.
Lucas walked toward a black MPV parked at the door and told the driver to get
off. He then got in the vehicle and started driving.
The notion that his brother was driving himself and going to a private meeting
intrigued Sunny. He recollected his brother's earlier words about’ grown-up stuff
and was further piqued by that.

“Is Lucas in a relationship? Is he
meeting a woman secretly during
lunch break?" Sunny found Lucas’
“romantic escapades’ to be more
intriguing than having lunch with
Corinne, so he told the taxi driver to
turn around and follow the car. Visit

Lucas drove to the hotel where he
stayed the previous night. Rather
than check out, he swiped his card
and entered the suite that he checked
into the day before. The hotel was
not very close to the company, and
traffic congestion that resulted from
a traffic accident meant that Lucas
took more than an hour to reach the
hotel. Edmund had been staying in
that suite, quietly observing
movement in the opposite room
through a peephole. Visit

Lucas was concerned about the possibility of a trap, and that Jeremy’s promise
to meet the next day at 2 p.m. was merely a delaying tactic. For
those reasons, he stationed Edmund there to keep an eye on things.
However, there had been no movement thus far, and no one had left the room
yet.

Once Lucas entered the suite, he took
off his coat and sat on the sofa to
check the time. It was already past
one, and the agreed meeting time
with Jeremy was less than an hour
away. Visit bignovels.com to read

Should Edmund see Sophia leave, he would go to the other suite to hear
Jeremy's explanation for the three-year disappearance.
