Chapter 1332
The Day I Kissed An Older Man
Lucas thanked Francine and turned to leave after he saved Sophiaâs phone number in his phone.
Francine followed after him worriedly. âWait! I want to go with you to look for Corinne, too!â
Lucas did not stop walking. Instead, it was Sunny who stopped Francine. He raised his arm and said,
âFrancine, itâs best if you stay here with your grandparents. They need you more than ever now. You
can rest assured that Lucas will find Corinne.â
Francine frowned. âButâ¦â
âNow that Jeremy isnât here, you need to step up to take care of your grandparents. Only then can he
rest in peace,â said Sunny.
Francineâs eyes wavered. âOkay. Youâre right. Iâll stay here. But call me the moment you found Corinne,
okay?â
Sunny nodded. âYou have my word.â
â¦
Lucas called Sophia as soon as he got into the car.
âHello, whoâs this?â asked Sophia breezily, which was a stark contrast to when she was on the phone
with Francine.
Lucas got straight into the matter. âWhereâs Corinne?â he asked coldly.
Sophia was stunned for a moment before saying, âMister Lucas, I presume? As Iâve told Francine, I
havenât seen Corinne, nor do I know where she is. In fact, how can you question me when you wouldnât
even let me see her? Seriously, how the heck would I know where she is?âBooks Chapters Are Daily

Lucas was not as easily fooled as Francine was. âIs your car plate number XX896?â
âNo. My car plate number is SS975,â said Sophia calmly. âMister Lucas, Iâm going to get angry if you
donât stop accusing me without having any concrete evidence. I wouldâve sued you for defamation if I
wasnât so sad about what happened to Jeremy.â
Lucas narrowed his eyes. For a moment, he did not know what to say to Sophia.
XX896 was the car plate number Sunny memorized when he saw Corinne get into the red sports car,
and Lucas had asked his men to look into who the car plate number belonged to. However, there was
no red sports car with the car plate number XX896.
The traffic camera did not have any record of the red sports car going anywhere either. Not only was
the car plate number fake, but the driver knew where to drive to avoid being captured by the traffic
camera. The whole thing was no doubt premeditated.
Sophia hung up the phone. Lucas did not call her back since he knew there was no point in asking her
any further questions.
At that moment, another black car stopped in front of the Holdensâ mansion. Xante and Aaron quickly
got down and walked up to Lucas and Sunny.
âHow did it go? Is the boss with the Holdens?â asked Xante.
Sunny shook his head ruefully. âNo. We asked Francine just now, but she said Corinne has never been
there today.â
Xante frowned. âDidnât I tell you not to let the boss know about Mister Jeremyâs death until the baby is
safely delivered? Why canât you Riveras do something as simple as that? Why did you insist on having
her move in with you when you canât even take care of her?â
Sunny dropped his head in shame while Lucas sat silently in his car, lost in thought.
Aaron walked over and patted Xanteâs shoulder to calm her.
âThe most important thing now is to find the boss. If the boss didnât come here, where do you think she
would go? In other words, what could be so important to her that sheâd risk her babyâs life and escape
out of the hospital?â
âNeedless to say, it must have something to do with Jeremy,â said Sunny with a frown.
