Chapter 1331

“No! What the hell is going on? Did something happen to her? Answer me!” demanded Francine.

Lucas did not answer her. After thinking it over, he asked again, “Miss Francine, would you be able to

contact Sophia now?”

Francine knew things were serious if Lucas and Sunny were willing to put aside the bad blood between

the two families to go to her house. Thus, after thinking it over, she said, “Sophia has called me before

to look for Jeremy, but I didn’t save her number. I need to search through my call history to see if I still

have a record of her number.”

“Yes, please do, Miss Francine. That would be a great help to us,” said Lucas.

Francine quickly took out her phone and scrolled through her call history.

“I found it! This is her number. But why are you looking for her?” she asked.

Lucas decided to give her the short story of it. “Miss Francine, Corinne ran away from the hospital this

afternoon. I suspect Sophia took her away. Can you please call her to ask her where Corinne is?”

‘What? Corinne ran away from the hospital?’ Francine started to panic when she heard this. Without

further prompting from Lucas, she quickly called Sophia.

The call went through after a few rings.

“Hello? Francine!” cried Sophia tearfully as though she was trying to hold back a sob.

“Sophia, where are you right now?”

“I’m at the hotel. What’s the matter? Is there a new lead on your brother’s case?”

‘Is he still alive?’ was the unspoken question in the air. Francine wished her brother was still alive too,

“No. I’m not calling because of that. In fact, I want to ask you whether you’ve seen Corinne today

because she’s missing!”

Sophia pretended to be shocked. “What? She’s missing? No, I haven’t seen her today. What

happened? Why would she suddenly go missing?”

“Mister Lucas came to my house saying he suspects you took her away, so he asked me to call you.

Do you really not know where she is? You do know she’s carrying my brother’s baby, right? So nothing

can happen to her! You have to tell me if you did see her!”

“But I haven’t seen her, Francine,” said Sophia innocently. “I really haven’t! Yes, I did go to the Riveras’

with the hope of seeing her this afternoon, but they wouldn’t let me in. Mister Lucas even ordered the

servants to drag me away.

“And when I heard Corinne had been sent to the hospital, I went there with the hope of seeing her so I

could make sure nothing happened to the baby, but Mister Lucas stopped me again. So no, I didn’t see

her. As a matter of fact, how can he suspect that I was the one who took Corinne away?

“I don’t even know which hospital room she was staying in! If he doesn’t believe me, he can go through

the surveillance footage to see whether I’m telling the truth or not! But more importantly, we should look

for Corinne first!”

Francine did not want to waste her time talking to Sophia anymore, so she just hung up the phone.

Then, she asked Lucas, “Why was Corinne staying with you in the first place? And how did she end up

in the hospital? Did her water break?”

Lucas shook his head. “No. She passed out from shock after she heard what happened to Jeremy, so

we took her to the hospital. She and the baby were fine after the doctor tended to them. But then she

snuck out of the hospital while I went out to get her some water.”

‘Sh*t! This isn’t good. Grandma and Grandpa are going to have another breakdown if they find out that

Corinne is missing!’ thought Francine.

“Then should we call the cops now? We must find her before something bad happens to her!” said

Annie.

“Miss Francine, can you please give me Sophia’s phone number? There’s something I’d like to ask

her,” asked Lucas calmly.
