Chapter 700

Lucas was at a loss for words. He could not make sense of the logic behind all this, but to him, of

Corinne’s previous actions lacked logic as well. For example, her sudden appearance at the Riveras‘

job interview, or her presence at his grandfather’s birthday banquet without. any reason. Moreover,

both Anya and the maid witnessed Corinne’s actions firsthand. Could it be fake?

“I know why Corinne made such an effort to save Joey, Lucas,” interjected Anya.

As everyone turned to look, they saw Anya, with red eyes, walking in from outside.

She planned to accompany Joey to the hospital with the medical staff, but because the child had an

extreme reaction as soon as he saw her, the medical staff advised her to stay behind, and she had to

come back.

Lucas frowned when he saw her returning alone and asked, “Why didn’t you go to the hospital?

Where’s Joey?”

Anya walked to her brother’s side, wiped away her tears, and said, “Edmund is with Joey at the

hospital, so I feel relieved. We can go to the hospital later to see Joey together. Now, I want to see the

mastermind who hurt Joey brought to justice. Otherwise, as a mother, I’ll feel too guilty and won’t be

able to face my child…”

She choked up again as she spoke, evoking sympathy from those present.

After being advised against going in the ambulance, Anya calmed down a lot. She thought for a

moment and came up with a plan.

With Joey already taken away by the ambulance and temporarily unable to reveal anything detrimental,

this was the time to firmly establish Corinne’s intentional homicide charge. They would deal with the

child at the hospital later.

Children were easier to handle; there were ways to prevent them from talking nonsense.

Seeing her sister’s swollen eyes from crying, Lucas’s heart ached slightly. “Anya, what did you say you

knew?”

Anya gently wiped away her tears, her eyes filled with sorrow and resentment as she glared at Corinne.

“Lucas, I know why Corinne saved Joey. The answer is simple: it’s because she got scared when she

heard our family reporting the incident to the police. She was afraid of facing severe punishment for

causing someone’s death, so she had a change of heart and saved Joey!”

As she said this, beads of tears rolled down Anya’s face, and she pleaded with the officers. handling

the case, “Officer, I saw the whole situation. It was she who hit my son’s head with a chisel, and my son

fell to the ground unconscious! Even though she revived my son afterward, it doesn’t negate her initial

motive to kill. She should be charged with attempted murder!

“Officer, I beg you to bring this culprit to justice. Otherwise, I’m afraid my son will be subjected to her

harm again someday!

‘Children’s brains are still developing at this stage, and after such a heavy blow to the head, who knows

if there will be any lasting effects? There cannot be another incident like this!

“If my testimony alone isn’t enough, there’s our maid. She witnessed what happened, too! You can

question her!”

The maid quickly stepped forward and spoke up for her boss. “Yes, officer! I saw it, too. It was Corinne

who used a chisel to hit Miss Anya’s child! It was her!”

The officers nodded. “Miss Anya, we have understood the situation you described. We’ll definitely bring

the perpetrator to justice and give you an explanation.”

Then, the officers sternly looked at Corinne. “Corinne Carew, if you have anything to defend yourself

with, you can say it at the police station. Now, come with us!”

Corinne did not resist being taken away by the police, but Jeremy would not allow her to move an inch.

Jeremy held the girl’s shoulder and applied a slight force, preventing her from moving.

Looking at the officers, the man’s gaze was dominant and indifferent. “If you want to take her away,

have your chief call me first.”
