Chapter 1442

Francine asked, “Do you suspect her husband might be…”

Corinne had her suspicions, but she dismissed them as thoroughly illogical. It could not have been

Jeremy. Even if Sophia detained Jeremy and eluded their pursuit, he would never be willing to be with

—and father a child to—such a despicable woman.

“Forget it. I don’t even know why I have this suspicion,” said Corinne. “She said that her husband’s

surname is Finnix. We’re probably overthinking it.”

Corinne was as yet unaware that she had given birth to triplets. Everyone was afraid that the revelation

would upset her, so they all agreed not to mention it to her. Francine was one of those who were in the

know, and her first instinct was to suspect that Sophia’s child was, in fact, Corinne’s.

Francine gritted her teeth warily. “I’m going to find out who her husband is.”

Corinne did not pay too much attention to Francine’s reaction and sipped her juice with a straw. She

contemplated the situation, firmly believing Jeremy’s character was strong enough that he would not

willingly stay with Sophia, let alone be controlled by her and father her children. That being said, the

reason for Sophia’s return to the country needed further investigation.

After finishing their meal with the kids, Francine stayed behind and said that she was going to a friend’s

house for a while. She said that she would take a taxi to her destination. Corinne reminded her not to

be out too late and brought her three children back.

Francine headed straight to Newmoon Group.

When Xante returned to her office from a meeting, she found Francine waiting outside her office with a

somber expression.

“Why are you here, Miss Francine? Is there something you’d like to discuss?” Xante asked, adjusting

her gold-rimmed spectacles.

Francine stood up and nodded solemnly. “Yes. Something happened.”

‘Something happened?’ Xante thought. The first thing that came to mind was that it was related to

Corinne. A frown appeared on her face as she ushered Francine into the office. “Please have a seat.

What did you mean by ‘something happened’?”

Francine remained standing as she said, “Corinne and I took the three kids out to have fun, and she

mentioned to me that she saw Sophia at the kindergarten entrance.”

The long-forgotten name Sophia startled Xante, who raised an eyebrow and asked, “How did she react

upon seeing Sophia? What has Sophia done to my boss?”

Francine shook her head. “She hasn’t done anything. At least, not yet. Corinne told me that Sophia was

holding a child in her arms. Sophia also claimed to be married, and her husband’s last name is Finnix!

We’ve been keeping tabs on Sophia’s movements for years, right? Did you find out about that

marriage? Who is her husband? When did she have that child?”

Xante frowned. “She has a child? We’ve had people monitoring her and the Adam Group for so long,

but we haven’t detected anything unusual yet. Adam is pretty skilled at counter-surveillance as well and

frequently brings our men around in circles. Furthermore, Sohpia employed her private jet when

traveling, and their family even had their own airport. This makes it very challenging for us to gain

access to such a location.”
