Chapter 313

Chapter 313

When Corinne was gone, Anya came over anxiously and asked, “What’ll happen to Rosie now?”

Lucas came back to his senses and said solemnly to his sister, She’s an adult now. She can think for

herself. It’s only just for her to bear the consequences of her actions.”

“But Rosie’s my best friend! We can’t just leave her alone…”

“Enough. I don’t want to hear a word of it. You should go home with Sunny.”

Inside the police station’s restroom, Corinne came out after washing her hands, and Gabriel–who had

been waiting for her in the corridor–stepped forward and respectfully handed her a tissue. After that, he

handed his cell phone to her and said, “Mister Aaron called. He wants to talk to you.”

Corinne took the tissue and wiped her hands before answering the call.

Aaron’s voice came from the other end. “How’s everything, boss? You okay there?”

“Everything’s fine. You did a good job of finding the witnesses in time, so you’ll get a reward once I’m

back.”

Aaron answered awkwardly, “It wasn’t me, boss.”

Corinne’s expression froze. “It wasn’t you? Are you saying they escaped by themselves?”

“It’s not that, either! I arrived too late, and they were already

rescued when I got to their location.”

“Who rescued them?”

“If my guess is right, it was Jeremy’s men. His subordinate, the one named Tommy, sent some people

to investigate

Chris’s family in the past few days. He found everything one step before us.”

Corinne was startled, and she remained quiet for a long time.

Aaron then added, “If I may, boss, Mister Jeremy is actually—”

Before he could finish his sentence, however, Corinne hung up the phone annoyedly.

Gabriel could see that Corinne was not too pleased, so he asked cautiously, “Would you like to come

with me later?”

After Corinne tossed the phone back to him, she waved her hand and said, “Thanks, but no thanks.

You should head back to your law firm now that things on my end are done.”

“Understood.”

The two of them left the police station one after the other.

Gabriel bowed to Corinne to say goodbye before turning around and leaving in his car. Corinne

narrowed her eyes slightly as she watched Gabriel’s car drive away. As soon as she looked away, she

was stunned to see Jeremy waiting at the entrance to the police station…

Her mood was a little complicated when she saw him again, and she immediately froze in place. The

man wore a suit and leather shoes, and he was leaning lazily against the front of an expensive white

sports car. A cigarette was held at the tips of his long fingers and he was smoking nonchalantly as if

waiting for someone.

When he spotted Corinne standing there like an idiot, he raised his hand and made a come–hither

movement. “Come here.”

Corinne hesitated for a moment before walking over. “Mister.”

Jeremy let out a puff of smoke, narrowed his eyes at her, and glanced in the direction that Gabriel’s car

left. “You have a lot of connections, Corinne.”
