Chapter 1570

As reluctant as Bryan was, he did not dare to defy Jeremy. Thus, he unwillingly apologized to Sophia.

“I’m sorry…”

Sophia was so happy for Jeremy taking her side that she decided to let Bryan’s attitude slide. She

started to pretend to be a good person again.

“It’s okay, Benjamin. I’m not really angry with you. But make sure you don’t speak like that to me again,

you hear?”

The only reason Bryan apologized to her was because Jeremy forced him to.

He did not sincerely mean it, so he turned his face away from Sophia.

Jeremy looked at Bryan with darkened eyes. “You’re right. He is getting ruder.

He really needs to be disciplined.”

“Forget it. I think Benjamin knows he was wrong. Don’t be too harsh on him, Zachary,” said Sophia,

feigning kindness.

“It’s exactly because I was too lenient on him that he became so disrespectful!

You should carry on what you were going to do, and I’ll give him an earful.”

Sophia nodded and secretly smiled. “Okay, I’ll leave you to lecture him while I go cook dinner.”

Jeremy nodded at Sophia, and he then glared at Bryan.

Seeing this, Sophia smiled smugly as she turned and left.

‘Zachary is finally willing to teach that impudent b*stard a lesson. Serves that kid right!’ thought Sophia.

Seeing Jeremy’s stern and angry look, she no longer worried about what the kid would say in front of

him. ‘Zachary would never believe whatever the kid says. He’ll only think that the kid was talking

nonsense!’ Bryan pouted, and he looked like he was about to cry. “Sniff… I want my Mommy,” he said

tearfully as soon as Sophia went out.

Jeremy put his finger to Bryan’s lips. “Shh…”

Bryan blinked tearfully. “Huh?”

Jeremy gently pulled the little boy to him and comforted him in a low voice, “There, there. We can’t

anger Sophia for the time being, so don’t talk to her like that in the future.”

Bryan was stunned. ‘So Daddy was just trying to appease Sophia? He wasn’t really angry at me?’ The

thought made him feel better.

Jeremy looked at Bryan’s pitiful face. “Soon, Daddy will be able to take you out of here to find your

Mommy.”

Bryan believed him very much. He nodded vigorously and said, “Okay, Daddy.

I’ll do whatever you say!”

Jeremy pursed his lips in relief. He then gently rubbed his son’s head and sighed softly.

After Corinne and Jason inspected the land in Serenity Bay, she asked him to wait for her reply after

discussing the matter with the shareholders.

She drove him back to Talbot Group.

It was obvious Jason did not want to go back to the Talbot Group building just yet. Sitting in the front

passenger seat, he muttered, “Corinne, we rarely go out together, so let’s go have a meal together.”

Corinne’s eyes never left the road when she replied impassively, “Sorry, but I’ve already eaten.”

“You’ve eaten?” Jason looked at the time. “You mean lunch, right? It’s already past three o’clock. We

can have dinner in a little while! So how about we have dinner together and then go back to our

respective homes?”

“Sorry, I can’t.”

“Why not? Weren’t you at a friend’s house when I called you? And I’m sure there’s no emergency at

your company.”

Corinne frowned and was about to retort when Jason suddenly interrupted her and said, “Corinne, look!

Who are those two people over there?”

Corinne did not think she should take her eyes off the road while driving, but because Jason was really

startled, she could not help but look over to where he was pointing.
