Chapter 684

Jeremy remained silent. Years ago, to save his life, Anya selflessly extracted the snake venom from

her own body, forever sacrificing her ability to become a mother. This was a debt he would always owe

to the girl, and he could not fulfill Anya’s emotional needs. Therefore, when Lucas accused him in such

a way, he had no words to respond.

Corinne raised an eyebrow and said, “Mister Lucas, if you truly care about your sister, it is more

important to help her find her beloved son than to focus on competing with me for a man’s heart here!”

Lucas glared at Jeremy, his gaze turning cold as he looked at the eloquent Corinne, filled with disgust

and anger. It was all because of her! Anya was tormented back and forth by this little girl Corinne, to

the point where she was on the verge of a breakdown. He wished he could strangle her!

At that moment, several household servants gasped for breath as they returned from somewhere within

the estate to report.

“Mister Lucas, we’ve searched everywhere, but we still haven’t found the child!”

Upon hearing this unfavorable outcome, Anya began to sob, “Where could Joey have gone? My Joey!”

Lucas snapped back to his senses, turning to his subordinates with a stern frown. “Have you searched

all the rooms in the house?”

One of the servants stepped forward and answered, “Young Master, we have searched all the places

we could, except for the two special rooms upstairs. We didn’t dare enter without your permission.”

When the two special rooms upstairs were mentioned, a complex look flickered in Lucas’s eyes. After a

moment of silence, he waved his hand. “I’ll go and take a look at those two rooms upstairs. In the

meantime, bring a few search dogs and comb through every corner of the house!”

“Yes, Mister Lucas!”

The servants received new orders and went down one after another to carry them out.

Lucas wearily pinched his brow and then turned around, speaking gently to Anya, “Anya, brother will

go. upstairs to take a look. Don’t worry, we will find the child.”

Anya understood that her brother was planning to go to those two ‘special’ rooms upstairs to see if

Joey was there. She pondered for a moment, wiped away her tears, and nodded, saying, “Brother, why

don’t you let Jeremy go with you to those two rooms and search for Joey? Joey likes Jeremy the most.

If he’s hiding somewhere in those rooms, as soon as he sees Jeremy, he will obediently come out!”

Regarding his sister’s suggestion, Lucas instinctively showed resistance. Normally, he did not allow

anyone from the household to enter those two ‘special’ rooms casually. How could he easily accept an

outsider entering? But seeing his sister’s anxious and pale face, Lucas couldn’t bear to refuse. He

turned his head, coldly looking at Jeremy, who just had a heated argument with him earlier, and said,

“Let’s go, come with me to search.”

Jeremy had no reason to refuse, but he was concerned about the young girl beside him. He lowered

his gaze, looking at her.

Corinne was a clever person. From the conversation between Lucas and their servant just now, she

understood that those two so-called ‘special’ rooms upstairs were not places anyone could casually

enter. Therefore, she obediently sat down on the sofa, understanding the rules.

“Mister, you go ahead! I’ll wait for you here!” she said.

The man smiled knowingly and gently patted her head, sternly yet tenderly admonishing. “No running

around,”

Corinne obediently nodded, “Okay, I understand!”

She rarely behaved so docile because she knew how to act appropriately and wouldn’t engage in

verbal sparring with the man during such a time.

With that, the two men went upstairs together, moving away.

With no one else present, Anya’s tearful appearance disappeared, replaced by a gloomy glare directed

at Corinne!

Every action and gesture from that wretched woman, Corinne, in the presence of Jeremy pierced

Anya’s eyes like thorns!

Corinne was aware of Anya’s glare, but she simply ignored it, not bothering to pay attention
