Marcus thought no one could tell the large, shiny moissanite ring was a fake diamond. However, judging by Aaron’s
reaction, he must have realized it was fake with one look.

Meanwhile, at Rivera Group.
Lucas was going through documents. He had asked Edmund to dig up everything he could about Adam Group.
Sophia was Adam’s daughter. Knowing that she was bound to get rid of Corinne because of Jeremy, he knew he

Edmund remained in Lucas’ office after passing him the documents. “Mister Lucas, we found out someone is
looking into Miss Corinne secretly today. Adam must’ve asked his men to do that.”
Lucas flipped through the pages. He was not surprised at all. “Does Jeremy know about it?”
“My guess is that he does. Mister Jeremy has arranged for a few undercover agents to be stationed around the
mansion to protect Miss Corinne from Adam’s men.”
Lucas scoffed. “Hmph! Corinne’s life wouldn’t have been in danger if it weren’t for him.”
Edmund said nothing. He thought it was not his place to comment on that. Besides, he could tell Jeremy did not
want any harm to come to Corinne either.
“We shouldn’t just rely on the Holdens. We need to increase the security around the mansion as well. Try to keep
Corinne at home these few days, and make sure no outsiders enter the mansion either,” ordered Lucas.
Edmund nodded. “Don’t worry, Mister Lucas, I’ve made the necessary arrangements. It’s just that… The doctor said
Miss Corinne should wait out her labor in the hospital due to the shock she received last time. Even though she’s
fine now, she’ll still need to stay in the hospital a few days after she gets home. There are so many people going in
and out of the hospital every day, so I’m worried that…”
Lucas had considered the implications of that. “I know. I’ll be staying with her in the hospital when the time comes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI’ll leave you in charge of the company, then. That would be all. You’re dismissed.”
“Yes, Mister Lucas!”
After Edmund left, Lucas picked up his phone to call Jeremy.
The call quickly went through, but none of them spoke first.
After a long while of tense silence, Lucas finally asked gruffly, “What are you going to do about Adam?”
Jeremy had expected that question from him and sounded unsurprised. “You can visit him within these two days,”
replied Jeremy calmly.
Lucas scoffed. “You’re going to visit him and do what? I don’t need to tell you what kind of person Adam is, do I?
Aren’t you worried he’s going to keep you locked up in his place and force you to be Sophia’s husband?”
