Chapter 702

Chapter 702

Lucas‘ sharp gaze was fixed on his beloved younger sister who had been spoiled since childhood. “Are

you sure you were there and saw everything?”

Anya felt rather guilty as she met her brother’s gaze and showed a hint of grievance.” Positive! Do you

still not believe me, Lucas?”

Lucas narrowed his elegant eyes, a trace of doubt lingering in his eyes regarding his sister.” Then why

did Joey himself say that Corinne didn’t harm him?”

Joey said that? Anya’s expression stiffened for a moment, and she quickly realized that the phone call

her brother received earlier was from Edmund. Joey must have said something to Edmund, who

relayed it to her brother over the phone!

She did not know what Joey specifically said, so Anya could not help but feel flustered, but she showed

no slip–ups outwardly.

“Lucas, Joey is still so young. He can’t even speak complete sentences yet! How could he clearly

describe in words what happened? Edmund must’ve misunderstood Joey’s meaning!”

The doubt in Lucas‘ eyes did not dissipate. “Joey doesn’t need complicated descriptions, but Edmund

showed him a photo of Corinne and asked if the person in the photo harmed him. Joey consistently

shook his head and said no.”

Anya blinked nervously, her eyes turning red. “Lucas, Joey had his back turned to Corinne when the

attack happened. He didn’t see the attacker, so it’s normal that he doesn’t know who the culprit is! I

saw everything, and it wasn’t just me who saw it. Even our family’s maid saw it!

Speaking of the maid who initially crouched down in a suspicious manner, Lucas did glance at the

kitchen maid standing nearby.

Initially, he had not paid attention to what the maid was doing, but he finally got a good look at her.

This maid was responsible for making nourishing soups for Anya on a daily basis, and they were close.

Was it possible, then…that they both conspired in advance?

Lucas did not want to think badly of his sister, but Anya had framed Corinne because of Jeremy before.

Of course, Anya sincerely repented and begged for forgiveness at the time.

As an older brother, he wanted to believe that his sister was just momentarily confused and truly

realized her mistake, that she would not do it again in the future.

However, a similar situation occurred again, and this was even worse, nearly resulting in loss of life!

If Anya was the instigator of this incident, she would be truly deranged, capable of using even her own

child’s life for her own benefit!

The more he thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

Lucas furrowed his brow tightly and continued, “Edmund said that the child kept crying when they

arrived at the hospital. To calm him down, he showed him your photo, hoping that the image of his

mother would soothe his emotions. However, as soon as Joey saw your photo, he

broke down crying and kept saying he was scared. Why do you think that is?”

At this moment, Lucas‘ gaze toward his sister was filled with skepticism.

He did not want to believe that his sister, whom he had spoiled since childhood, could possess such

sinister intentions and be so ruthless.

However, he thought of Joey’s reaction upon seeing Anya after waking up. How could the child be

afraid of his mother if Anya had not done something terrible to him?

Lucas could not come up with a reasonable explanation to justify this situation.

Under her brother’s doubtful gaze, Anya could no longer maintain her facade of calmness. Unnaturally,

she blinked and forcefully explained, “Joey saying he’s scared…must be because. he was traumatized

after being hurt, and it left an indelible shadow in his heart. When he saw my photo, he must’ve wanted

to find his mother and could only cry since I wasn’t around…”
