"Bryan, where are you?! You better come out now, or you're going to get it!" said Corinne.A chill immediately ran up Bryan's spine. He could tell from Corinne's tone alone that she was angry.Out of instinct, he stepped back into the cubicle, locked the door, and huddled in fear. He was very well aware that Corinne was going to give him a beating if she found him then.Jeremy frowned when he saw who he thought was his son shot back into the cubicle as though he had seen a ghost. 'What the hell is that kid doing now?' he wondered with narrowed eyes.At that moment, Corinne's voice came floating inside the restroom again."Excuse me, but is anyone inside?" she asked.Jeremy turned and saw no one was at the door. 'She must've thought it'd be rude to peek her head in since this is a men's restroom, so she stayed outside.'Jeremy thought the woman's voice sounded familiar, but he was more concerned about his son's odd behavior. Thus, he paid no mind to her."Please say something if

Corinne stared at Edmund sympathetically."That's enough, Mister Lucas," she said, jumping in to defend the poor man. She then turned to Edmund and said, "Why don't you go out first, Edmund?"Edmund bowed to her gratefully. "Yes, Miss Corinne."Lucas became even more upset and jealous when he heard her call Edmund without using the word 'Mister'.'How can she be so casual with Edmund when I don't get to have that privilege?' he thought seethingly. 'Hmph! Oh well.'Not wanting Corinne to think he was ill-tempered, Lucas decided to let the whole thing slide. He waved 'Bryan' over, saying, "Come here, Bryan."'Bryan' became a little sad at being scolded by Corinne. At first, he was hesitant to go over to Lucas, but he somehow felt like he was familiar, so he walked over to him docilely.Lucas picked him up lovingly. "What's the matter? Did you get scolded by your Mommy?"'Bryan' nodded with a pout.Lucas patted him gently on the head. "That's because she's worried about you. You

It was just as Corinne expected—Sophia had been bidding against Lucas to artificially inflate the price!The piece of land in Serenity Bay belonged to Sophia's father, so she pretended to be a patron to raise the price and bring in more profit for her family.What she did was a big no-no in the world of auction."You can leave after putting the snacks there," ordered Sophia. She continued to sip her coffee without looking up as she thought it was a waitress who had come in.It was not until she did not receive a response that she thought something was not right. Her eyes became as wide as saucers the moment she looked up."Corinne?! What are you doing here?"Sophia's first reaction was shock and disgust, but those emotions were quickly replaced by guilt.Fearing Corinne would bump into Benjamin and Jeremy, Sophia quickly looked behind Corinne to check if they were coming back."Miss Sophia, don't you think what you did was extremely despicable?" asked Corinne with a mocking smi

However, Sophia did not hear Bryan this time.…Corinne sat in her private booth with a frown. She looked like she was lost in thought.Seeing this, Lucas asked her gently, "Are you okay? Did you find out who the patron in the opposite booth was?"Corinne nodded. "It's Sophia."Lucas was stunned. He looked worriedly at Corinne as he finally realized why Sophia bidded against him."It's so despicable for Adam Group to employ this kind of tactic," he said with a scoff.Corinne scoffed as well. "It's not only despicable but greedy too! By doing so, they've raised the price to ten times its fair value!"Lucas agreed to what Corinne said. His eyes darkened. "Don't worry. I'll explain what happened to the person in charge later. You have my word that I'll get that piece of land at a fair market price for you."Corinne did not have any proof that Adam was Sophia's father since the old Adam had wiped out all of his past when he took up his new name.Even so, she had faith Lucas would

"What?! It's that d*mn woman again?!"Francine immediately became angry when she heard that. She always hated Sophia, but the fact that Sophia was pulling some shady sh*t behind their backs again made her want to punch her even more!'God, why is that woman everywhere? Isn't it enough that she caused Jeremy to go missing, and she's now back to cause more trouble for Corinne? Ugh! I should've gone to the auction to give her a piece of my mind,' thought Francine.She would have punched Sophia in the face to quell the anger inside of her if she had seen her at the auction house.At that moment, Corinne was so tired that she wished she could fall asleep forever. For some reason, she felt more easily tired than before.Usually, she had more energy than that. Maybe it was because she used up too much brain power during the car ride back home to figure out what Lucas was hiding from her. After all, his behavior was too unusual for comfort.'Based on his reaction, his talk with the perso
