Chapter 692
A maid hiding behind the kitchen refrigerator was dragged out by one of the Riveras‘ servants.
The servant brought the maid in front of Lucas and threw her harshly to the ground. “Speak. Why were you sneaking around
back there?”
The maid fell to the ground, her face filled with panic. She stammered, “M–Mister Lucas, I–I didn’t do anything...‘
Lucas looked down at her, his eyes filled with cold scrutiny.
The servant standing beside him questioned her on behalf of his master, “You better be honest to Mister Lucas! If you didn’t do
anything, why were you hiding?”
The maid shrank back in fear, her voice trembling as she kept her head down, not daring to look at anyone. “Because I was
afraid...”
Seeing the maid speak hesitantly, the servant was about to rebuke her.
However, Lucas raised his hand, stopping the rough interrogation by his household servant. He took a step forward and asked
the maid, “What are you afraid of?”
The maid, as if experiencing a great mental shock, shook her head in a panic. “Mister Lucas, I... I saw it, I saw everything...”
Lucas arrowed his eyes. “What did you see? Speak without worry. As long as I’m here, you don’t need to be afraid.”
The maid lifted her head and looked at Lucas’s exceptionally handsome face, her cheeks involuntarily turning red.
No woman could resist the comfort of such a handsome, charming man in her moments of vulnerability. Moreover, this man was
her master, wielding absolute authority.
The maid thus calmed down quickly. “Mister Lucas, I saw Miss Corinne killing Miss Anya’s child! She was so terrifying, holding a
chisel in her hand and ruthlessly striking it on the child’s head!
“After she killed Miss Anya’s child, she warned Miss Anya to stay away from Mister Jeremy in the future, or she’ll be next. At that
time, I wanted to call for help to save Miss Anya, but I was too afraid. My legs turned weak, and I was afraid that Miss Corinne,
who committed the crime, would kill me off as I was a witness, so I fearfully hid, not daring to make a sound... It was then, Mister
Lucas, you arrived with the others!
“Luckily, you came early. Otherwise, I’m afraid Miss Anya would’ve suffered a tragic fate, too!”
As the maid finished, Lucas’s cold, fierce gaze turned toward Corinne, wondering if she would show any remorse after being
accused.
However, Corinne merely furrowed her brow slightly, appearing somewhat regretful.
Corinne’s reaction disappointed him. He no longer expected her to repent and instead looked at the man standing beside
Corinne. “Even an eyewitness has come forward. Jeremy, do you still believe in that woman by your side?”
Jeremy’s expression was solemn as he tightened his grip on the girl’s shoulder, showing no signs of wavering. “This eyewitness
is someone from the Riveras. Her testimony is only one–sided and lacks credibility.”
Lucas sneered disdainfully. “Do you think someone from our side would unjustly frame her for no reason?”
Jeremy remained composed. “The human heart is unpredictable.”
Lucas snorted. “Jeremy, if you truly understand the unpredictability of the human heart, the person you should be most wary of is
the heart of Miss Corinne who’s by your side. Don’t let her hurt you.”
Jeremy’s deep eyes grew serious. “Don’t worry about it.‘
Lucas then looked at Corinne indifferently. “Corinne, do you have anything else to say now?”
Corinne remained remarkably calm. “There’s nothing more to say. Call the police.”
