Chapter 539
“Corinne, you should know that you won’t be able to get away with what you’ve done once everyone sees what happened in the
surveillance footage. Lucas will sue you for hurting Joey. I’m giving you a chance to turn over a new leaf ’cause after all that’s
said and done, you’ve helped Jeremy with his family before and I see you as a friend so I would advise you to take the olive
branch while it’s still being offered to you!”
The way she spoke was so righteous and affectionate that those not in the know might think. Anya was nothing but a kind-
hearted and forgiving little angel.
However, Corinne saw through her. She smirked and said, “Miss Anya, your kind gesture is noted. However, I’m the type who’s
willing to pay for my own mistake so if the surveillance footage showed what you said I did, then I would turn myself into the
police station and sit out my prison terms no matter how many years it’s going to be.”
Anya glared at her and inwardly gritted her teeth. However, as the “victim”, she still remembered to maintain her big sad puppy
dog eyes look. Her back was against the corner now and it would make her very suspicious if she still insisted on not going to the
restaurant to view the surveillance footage. Even Lucas who was her staunchest supporter forever was starting to doubt her.
“Fine! We’ll have it your way!” She then acted as if Corinne did not appreciate her effort. After taking a deep breath, she added,
“Lucas, I wanted to let Corinne off the hook this time since I’m worried that you’ll punish her too severely in your bid to mete out
justice for Joey after seeing the surveillance footage.
“But since Corinne doesn’t seem to appreciate my kindness, and even implied that I was lying, it would be foolish of me to keep
worrying about her. In any case, I don’t think I need to be merciful anymore so let’s go to the restaurant now.’
The doubt in Lucas’ eyes finally disappeared after hearing her say that. “Okay, let’s go then.”
By then, Joey’s nanny already arrived at the hospital so after giving her a few instructions, Anya could finally leave without worry.
Corrine, however, was wary about the sudden change in Anya’s attitude.
‘She must have something up her sleeve. If not, why would she suddenly not be afraid of being exposed for her lies? She knows
the surveillance footage would show everyone what happened.
With his arm around Anya, Lucas then steered her out of the ward but before they left, he threw a warning glance at Corinne who
was deep in thought and asked mockingly, ” What are you still standing there for? Don’t you want to prove your innocence?
Come on, let’s
Bol
Corinne snapped out of her thoughts, nodded, and followed them out of the hospital.
Jason immediately walked next to her and asked quietly, “Corinne, where did you go just now? ”
“Nowhere. I just walked around the hospital to clear my head.
“Oh. For a moment there, I thought you abandoned me.”
Corinne gave him a side-eye. “Mister Jason, you’re not a kid anymore so even if I ‘abandoned’ you, you can still go home alone.
Besides, all this doesn’t concern you at all.”
Jason smiled flirtatiously at her. “No, we came here together so we need to leave here together. That’s what couples do!”
Corinne was speechless.
Jeremy narrowed his eyes when he saw Corinne and Jeremy walking shoulder-to-shoulder with each other. Suddenly, he
received a call from Tommy.
“Mister Jeremy, I’ve already checked every OB-GYN record in the city and Miss Carew is definitely.”
