Chapter 1727 Corinne kept thinking about what she had done wrong while walking to Joey's room. She did not knock once she was there. Instead, she tried the doorknob but found it to be locked.

MJoey locked the door?’ Corinne was shocked. She did not expect a kid so young to lock the door while sleeping.

It would be a lie to say she was not disappointed as well. Sometimes, it was not the kid who relied on his mother but the mother who relied on her kid for emotional support.

It was difficult for Corinne to know her dingiest kid suddenly did not need her anymore.

She stood by the door for a long while, and no matter how she thought about it, she could not help but worry about Joey. Thus, she climbed into Joey's room through the balcony from the study next door.

Inside his room, a frowning Joey was curled up sleeping in his bed with a teddy bear in his arms. It was obvious he was insecure, but even so, he still forced himself to be independent by locking the door.

Corinne could not help but see herself in him. She, too, knew what it was like to have to force herself to be independent at such a tender age. She adjusted his blanket and went out of his room through the balcony again.

That night, she did not sleep a wink.

The next morning, Xante called Corinne to give her a status update.

"Boss, Anya's out of prison. Apparently, her sentence was reduced for good behavior." Corinne, who was having her breakfast, was not really that surprised when she heard that. "Is that so? Where's she staying at the moment? Did she go back to the Riveras' mansion?" "No. She has rented a small place outside and is working in a fast food restaurant." That, Corinne was surprised to hear. After all, Anya had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth, so even if she had changed in prison, it was still quite surprising she would work in such a down-to-earth job.

'The Anya | know will think that job is beneath her. Does that mean her reformation is a success? wondered Corinne.

"Boss, I've already instructed my people to keep an eye on her, and they found nothing out of the ordinary about her day. She'd go to work every morning and would buy something to eat along her way back hafter work." "Okay, | understand. Continue to keep an eye on her, and callif she does anything out of the ordinary." "Yes, Boss! By the way, there's also been progress on the matter you askedto do last tconcerning Adam Group. I'll email you the report later." Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Okay. Good job." After hanging up the phone, Corinne finished the sandwich she was eating in two bites, excused herself from the table, and ran to her room to check her email.

Adam cback because there was a problem with selling off all his assets, which was what Sophia was supposed to do. It interested Corinne that he was in such a hurry to get rid of all of his assets.

Even if lived abroad for most of the time, the incfrom the assets he was trying to sell was quite a considerable sum. There was no need to sell them off at all.
