"Oh. Well, Sophia was the only person when I went into her booth," replied Corinne.

"That's good. It'll be easier to settle the matter if her father isn't here," said Lucas.

Corinne observed Lucas quietly. Somehow, she could not help but feel something was not

right.

Lucas knew Corinne was looking at him. He did have something on his mind, but he was

not ready to reveal it to her yet. Thus, he turned to look out of the window to avoid her

gaze since he could not control his expression well.

When he went to talk to the person in charge, the person showed him the surveillance

footage to confirm his story.

On the screen, Lucas saw that Sophia had come with a man and a boy. Even though the

man was in a wheelchair, he was sure that it was Jeremy.

Lucas could not really get a good look at the boy since the surveillance footage only

managed to capture the top of his head due to his height. Based on his height, he looked

to be the same age as Bryan and Christine.

Lucas did not dare tell Corinne about what he saw as he worried she would do something

rash out of impulse. In the end, he decided to look into the matter before considering

whether to involve Corinne.

When they arrived at the Holdens' mansion, Corinne and the kids went inside after waving

goodbye to Lucas.

Lucas' smiling face immediately darkened after he made sure Corinne and the kids had

gone in safely.

"Find out where Sophia is staying, and bring me there right away," he ordered Edmund.

The order stunned Edmund, so it took him a few seconds to reply," Understood, Mister

Lucas."

'Mister Lucas sure is acting weird today. Why, though?' wondered Edmund.' Is he going to

make Sophia suffer for deceiving Miss Corinne?'

Corinne collapsed onto the sofa as soon as she entered the living room with the kids. She

was so tired that she did not want to move anymore.

Even though most of her time at the auction house was spent sitting on the chair, taking

care of the three kids had taken a lot out of her. Moreover, she spent quite some time

running frantically around the auction house's second floor to look for the missing 'Bryan'.

Thus, she was mentally and physically exhausted as well.

Francine came out to welcome them home. She lifted Christine and talked to her before

she turned to Corinne, who seemed lost in thought. "Corinne, are you okay?" asked

Francine. "Did the auction not go well?"

Corinne snapped out of her thoughts. "I saw Sophia. The land that we wanted to buy

belongs to her father, Adam. She was there to artificially increase the price. In the end, we

only managed to get the land at a price ten times more than the market price."
