Chapter 493
Rosie pursed her lips and sighed. “Some people progress pretty quickly in their relationship and end up sleeping together after
meeting for the first time. We’re probably too conservative, Anya. I don’t understand how any girl could sleep around like that...”
As soon as the girls that Anya brought overheard that, they took out their cell phones right and texted their friends to come over
and see the commotion. That was exactly the kind of effect Anya intended to achieve.
Abya wanted everyone to witness for themselves that Corinne was an unchaste woman who slept with a random man. That way,
Corinne would fall behind in the race to win Jeremy’s heart.
Despite Anya’s malicious thoughts, she had a kind yet helpless expression on her face as she sighed.
“Even though things progressed too quickly between Corinne and Cole, they’re both single, and they have the freedom to do
what they want with each other. We shouldn’t be busybodies. Just let them spend their time with each other!”
‘Freedom? Must she fool around in the room with a man she just met under the pretext of freedom?’ A surge of anger came out
of nowhere in Lucas’s heart, and he was somehow unable to suppress it.
In the past two days, he saw that Corinne was a capable woman who had a good work ethic. Thus, his impression of her began
to change, and he no longer felt that she was an immoral girl like he used to think.
Alas, that good impression he had of her had turned to disappointment and disgust.
‘How could a good girl who acted the part of a proper woman and was capable in her work be so debauched as to accept the
advances of another man who was just toying with her? Is this how her parents raised her?’
Lucas’s patience enabled him to control his anger, but his voice was very calm and incredibly terrifying. “Open the bathroom door
and tell her to come out, Anya!”
Anya put on a show of persuading her brother before finally walking to the bathroom door. Naturally, she-more than anyone else-
wanted to see Corinne’s image ruined after being made a fool in public.
She walked up to the bathroom door, knocked on the door in a fake show of courtesy, and said, “I’m sorry, Corinne, but I’ll have
to open the door if you don’t come out!”
There was still no response.
Anya pretended as if she had no choice but to open the door and go in. “Corinne?”
No one was in the bathroom, and the sound of the water came from the bathtub being filled.
‘That’s strange. Where is she?’
Rosie went into the bathroom with Anya and was startled to see that there was no one there. The two of them then searched
around in the bathroom but still could not find any trace of Corinne.
A crowd had already gathered at the door of the room, and they were all waiting to see what kind of woman would be raunchy at
a banquet that they could not wait to go upstairs and fool around with a man!
After Anya told Lucas that there was no one in the bathroom, he walked into the bathroom to take a look before turning to Cole
and asking, “Where’s Corinne?”
Cole was just as baffled as they were. He did not know where Corinne went, nor how she managed to disappear into thin air.
However, he was quick-witted enough to feign ignorance. and reply, “I don’t know any Corinne! The person you’re looking for
isn’t here!”
Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly in an intimidating manner. “I’ll ask you one last time. Where is Corinne?”
Cole felt chills down his spine. “I d-d-don’t... know who-”
“Mister Lucas! Were you looking for me?”
Corinne’s voice suddenly came from behind the crowd.
