Chapter 815
Lucas looked up, and his pupils shrank when he realized Joey was missing from his crib. ” Where’s Joey?”
Anya looked at the crib, too. “Hey, you’re right. Where is he? Did he run off with the nanny?”
Lucas strode out of the room quickly and asked the servants stationed in the area whether they had seen Joey, but none of them
did. He looked around the room once more and saw the balcony door was open. The balcony in that room was linked to all the
other balconies on the same floor.
“He must’ve gone into the other rooms through the balcony. He shouldn’t have gotten far. All of you, split up and look for him.”
“Yes, Mister Lucas!” said the servants.
After that, he went down the stairs.
Anya immediately chased after him. “Lucas, where are you going? Aren’t you going to look for Joey with me?”
“I’m sure he’s still in the house somewhere, so he should be fine. I need to go to the kitchen now.”
“Why?”
“We have an important guest in our house today, and to show our gratitude, I’m going to ask the kitchen to cook up a few more
dishes.”
Anya frowned in confusion. “Why don’t you just ask one of the servants to pass on the message? Why do you have to go into the
kitchen yourself? It’s so smelly and hot there. Don’t tell me you’re going to cook something for her?”
Lucas did not want to waste his time explaining to Anya, so he said coldly, “Stop following me. The important thing for you to do
now is to look for Joey.”
Anya had no choice but to do as he said. However, she could not help but feel resentful since Lucas had never cooked for her
before. ‘What could’ve happened to compel Lucas to cook for that shameless woman?’ she wondered.
Phoebe was alarmed by the servants searching for Joey. She went to find Anya and asked, ‘ Anya, did Joey go missing again?”
Anya did not care whether Joey was found or not. In fact, she actually wished he would go forever missing since he was of no
use to her.
She quickly explained to her mother that Corinne was the one who saved Cedric’s life and that the two of them should come up
with a plan to get rid of her.
“What a small world it is! Who’d have guessed the girl who stole Jeremy from you was your grandpa’s savior?”
“It was no coincidence at all! She must’ve planned this so she could get closer to Grandpa and the whole family.”
The wheels inside Phoebe’s head started to turn. “Anya, do you still have those precious saffron you brought back from overseas
last time?”
“Yeah, I still have a lot. Why the sudden question?” asked Anya in confusion.
Phoebe smiled confidently “Saffron is good for the skin when consumed, but it can cause miscarriage if consumed in large
quantities What’s more, it’ll be harder for a woman to conceive after that. Anya, Corinne coming to visit us is a blessing in
disguise ’cause we finally have an opportunity to get rid of that baby in her womb.
