Chapter 691

Jeremy stood up the moment Anya spoke, his imposing figure seemingly unforgiving as he walked

toward Corinne. Anya’s flushed gaze followed the man’s figure, secretly hoping that he would give

Corinne a hard slap.

Everyone watched intently, and they inwardly felt that the son of the Holdens was going to stand up for

Miss Corinne and seek justice…

The man did indeed reach out his hand.

His rough, large hand gently brushed away a few strands of hair that fell on her eyes, his deep voice

carrying a hint of reproach as he spoke, “Didn’t I tell you not to wander alone?”

Corinne’s eyebrows furrowed. “… Right, I forgot.”

The man said nothing else. He took off his coat and draped it over the girl.

The kitchen in the Rivera household had its window open for ventilation, allowing the night breeze to

blow in, which could easily cause a cold.

Corinne felt a weight on her shoulder and looked at the suit jacket draped over her form. At this

moment, it was more than just a suit jacket to prevent her from catching a cold; it was also a gesture of

absolute trust, a confirmation that no matter what happened, he would firmly stand by her side.

She was momentarily stunned before she looked up at the man again.

There was not a trace of doubt in Jeremy’s eyes.

She had not expected this man to trust her so much. Anya’s acting was too convincing, and she was

also his savior. He had a filter of gratitude toward Anya, and she did not blame him.

Surprisingly, Jeremy did not fall for Anya’s trick, which was truly astounding.

She relaxed and leaned tiredly into the man’s arms. “Mister, I’m sleepy.”

“Mh. I’ll take you home to sleep now.” The man patted her head gently, then turned with his arm around

her shoulder, leading her away.

The unexpected turn of events surprised everyone. Was the son of the Holdens openly accommodating

a murderer?

As they watched Jeremy gently embrace Corinne and walk toward the kitchen door, Anya’s expression

turned incredibly ugly, her fingernails already digging into the palms of her hands.

Joey was dead, yet Jeremy remained unaffected! He wholeheartedly believed in Corinne!

“Why?”

Why on earth is this happening? Did Corinne put some curse on Jeremy?!

“Stop! You caused the death of a member of the Riveras. Who agreed to let you go?”

As soon as Lucas spoke, a group of Rivera servants lined up in front of them, blocking their way.

Jeremy stopped and raised an eyebrow. “Who needs permission for me to leave?”

Lucas walked over and circled him to face him, frowning and giving him an irrational look. “Jeremy,

even at this point,

you’re still protecting this treacherous woman. She’s a murderer!”

Jeremy remained unchanged. “She just explained what happened. She didn’t kill anyone. Didn’t you

hear?”

Lucas was taken aback for a moment, then said seriously, “You believe her just because she said so?

Even in court, murderers don’t readily admit their crimes! Jeremy, when have you become so foolish?

Do you really think a cunning woman like her has any true feelings for you?”

Jeremy replied, “It doesn’t matter. Whether or not she’s sincere, I believe her.”

Seeing how unyielding Jeremy was, Lucas had no intention of showing mercy anymore. “Your belief in

her is useless because you’re not the law!”

After saying that, he coldly turned and ordered his subordinates, “Call the police!”

Crack!

Suddenly, the sound of something breaking in the corner was heard.

“Who’s there? Who’s hiding over there?!”
