‘Wait a minute… What does it matter if it was Jeremy? He doesn’t have anything to do with me anymore!’ thought

Corinne, calming down a little. After that, she threw away the flier and walked back to the mansion.

The servants could not help but worry when they saw her walking away so fast, so they started chasing after her.

“Miss Corinne, please slow down!”

“Miss Corinne, be careful. Don’t trip!”

…

Corinne ran into the house panting and saw Lucas sitting on the sofa, checking on Sunny’s homework.

Striding over, she asked, “Is it true that Jeremy is dead?”

Lucas’ expression hardened as he looked up at her. “Who told you that?” he asked with a frown.

Seeing Lucas’ reaction and recalling how he had been acting weird for the past two days along with Sophia’s

sudden visit during lunchtime, Corinne knew what the flier said was true.

Her eyes turned red with anger. “Why didn’t you tell me?”

Lucas stood up despondently and walked toward her. “Corinne, I didn’t mean to wouldn’t be able to take it and the

baby…”

Not wanting to listen to him any further, Corinne pushed him away and go out for a while!”

After that, she turned around to leave, but Lucas grabbed her wrist to stop her. “Corinne, please calm down.

There’s nothing you can do now. Plus, you said you don’t want to have anything to do with Jeremy anymore!”

Corinne’s mind was in chaos, and she felt like she had been stabbed in the heart. “But that doesn’t mean I want him

to die!”

Lucas frowned and looked at her with a pained expression. “Corinne, please calm down…”

At that moment, Corinne was too emotional to listen to any reason. She tried me go! I need to go out! Give me a

car!”

“Corinne, you’re eight months pregnant right now! You should think about the baby even if you don’t want to think

about yourself! Just think about it. Now that Jeremy’s dead, the baby is the only surviving bloodline he has! Can you

bear to see anything happen to the baby?”

Corinne gradually calmed down after that.

Lucas pulled her into an embrace and gently patted her back. “There, there. Everything’s going to be alright. Be a

good girl and just stay at home, okay?”

Corinne’s bloodshot eyes became teary as they went in and out of focus. “Tell me who did it,” she asked in a

trembling voice.

At that point, Lucas thought there was no need to hide anything from her anymore. “From what I know, Jeremy’s

father was quite the player, so my guess is one of his illegitimate sons killed Jeremy with the plan to take over his

place.”

Jeremy’s father had a lot of illegitimate kids with different women over the years, and Jeremy had to learn to

protect himself from the threats brought by his half-brothers. Each of them vehemently wished for his death so that

they could get their hands on the Holdens’ vast family fortune.

Corinne had never heard Jeremy talk about his father or half-siblings before. In fact, this was the first time she

learned about it. Back then, she did find it weird that she had never seen Jeremy’s parents or why he never talked

about them before, but she felt it was not her place to ask.

Suddenly, Lucas felt Corinne went slack in his embrace. He looked down and saw her eyes were closed.

“Corinne? Corinne! Wake up, Corinne!”

‘Sh*t, this isn’t good!’ thought Lucas when he failed to wake Corinne up. “Quick, call the ambulance! No, wait! Don’t

call the ambulance. Drive the car around! We need to send Corinne to the nearest hospital!”

Sunny was first stunned, but he quickly snapped out of it and ran out to shout for the driver.
