Chapter 1284

Jeremy did not let Corinne go. Instead, he muttered, “I didn’t mean to lie to you. I forgot I was legally

married to Sophia. It wasn’t until I thought of marrying you that I remembered it. I planned to tell you

everything after I revoked my marriage license with Sophia because I assumed you’d get angry at me if

I told you before then…and I didn’t want you to get upset while you’re pregnant. I know this is all my

fault…”

Corinne fell silent after that. After a long while, she finally said, “Mister Jeremy, I don’t think you ever

see me as someone who can understand you. Now, it doesn’t matter whether there’s anything going on

between you and Sophia. All the trust has gone from our relationship.”

After that, she tried to free herself from Jeremy’s grip so she could escape from the suffocating car.

…

Jason went back to where he left Corinne with a bottle of mineral water in his hand. When she was

nowhere to be seen, he started to look around for her in panic. Instead of finding Corinne, he ran into

Sophia, who looked like she was enjoying the party.

He pulled her aside and asked, “Have you seen Corinne?”

Sophia was a little taken aback. “Corinne? I thought she was with you.”

“I went to get some water for her, but she was gone by the time I got back.”

Sophia did not really care where Corinne was, but she started to worry after she suddenly remembered

Jeremy was gone too.

Jason must have realized what she was thinking about because he asked, “How about Jeremy? Where

is he right now?”

“He said he had to leave because he remembered he had to do something. But I’m still going to call

him to ask him whether he has seen Corinne.”

Jason nodded. He, too, suspected Jeremy had taken Corinne away, but he was not in the position to

call him.

Sophia and Jason went to a quieter place to call Jeremy, but he did not pick up at all. Thinking it off,

Sophia tried calling him again. This time, he picked up after a long time.

“Yes?” said Jeremy impatiently.

Sophia did not know what was up with him, so she just laughed and asked, “Jeremy, we can’t find

Corinne. Jason has been looking for her all over the place. Did you see her when you were leaving?”

“No,” said Jeremy coldly and hung up without warning.

Sophia turned to Jason and shrugged helplessly. “He said he didn’t see Corinne.”

Jason narrowed his eyes. He did not believe Jeremy at all. Knowing him, Jeremy would never be this

calm if he knew Corinne was missing. ‘If my guess is right, Corinne must be with Jeremy right now,’ he

thought.

“Sophia, there are surveillance cameras all over the hotel. Ask the hostess of the party; you have the

right to check the footage,” he said.

“Oh, you’re right! Let’s go check the surveillance footage now to see if Corinne has left the hotel!”
