“That’s him! The man who is sitting and talking to Miss

Corinne is Chris Tate, the perpetrator who we arrested for attempted rape,” said one of the police officers sharply at the point in the video.

The police officer then turned around and looked sternly at Corinne. “Miss Corinne, what do you have to say for yourself?”

Corinne’s expression remained relaxed. She did not say

anything, though her lips were twitching. ‘My, my. Looks like they had pulled out all the big guns on framing me. First, that devious Lucas asked me all those seemingly–irrelevant

questions, but he actually did it to establish my motive! I can’t believe he chalked it down as me being jealous. Then, he hit me with concrete evidence in the form of this video.‘

Anya flung herself into Lucas‘ arms, trembling and crying, when she saw the man who tried to assault her in the video. ” Lucas, that’s him! He ripped off my clothes and tried to…”

A murderous glint flashed across Lucas‘ eyes at the thought of Anya, the apple of his eye, nearly being assaulted. He hugged her tightly and tried to console her, “There, there. I’m here. I won’t ever let anyone hurt you again.”

However, Anya was not only afraid of the perpetrator but also could not comprehend why Corinne would do something like this. “Lucas, how did things end up this way? Why does

Corinne want to hurt me so much? I just wanted to be her friend…”

Lucas gently stroked Anya’s hair. “Silly girl. Haven’t you heard of the story about the wolf in sheep’s clothing? I hope you’ll choose your friend more wisely next time. Not all people are worthy to be your friend.”

From all outward appearance, Lucas might seem gentle and humble, but he was actually a cold and distant person. To

others, he behaved cordially only out of his good upbringing and the high demands he placed on himself, but if one were to take a closer look, one would find that his smiles did not reach his eyes.

However, Anya was the only exception. The tenderness in his eyes was real. He looked at her with a worried expression as he tried to soothe her. “Don’t cry, don’t cry. No one will dare to lay a finger on you as long as I’m here.”

“Lucas…” Anya gradually calmed down as she listened to Lucas gentle coos.

Sunny, on the other hand, had been quiet until then for he Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ ꜰindNʘvel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

knew he would not get a chance to speak whenever Lucas was present. However, he could not hold back his anger anymore when everything in the video pointed to Corinne as being the mastermind behind the crime.

There was disappointment and rage in his eyes as he stormed angrily over to Corinne and pointed at her. “How could you do this, Corinne? I trusted you to be a good person. That’s why I spoke up for you. Why did you want to hurt Anya? You’re a woman, too…”

Corinne calmly looked up at the raging Sunny and decided she would be wasting her breath if she tried to explain herself then.

Rosie pulled Sunny off to calm him. “Sunny, didn’t I tell you that Corinne is good at tricking other people into thinking

she’s a good person? Yet you didn’t want to believe me. Well, I guess it’s better late than never,” she said with a sigh.

Then, she turned to look at Jeremy, who was still seated quietly in his chair. Inwardly, she was happy to be proven right, but outwardly, she shook her head ruefully and said, You too, Jeremy. You had been taken in by Corinne’s seemingly -innocent act as well. It’s a good thing Lucas and this case opened up everyone’s eyes. If not, I shudder to think just how long you’ll all stay deceived by her.”

Anya straightened herself up and, with teary eyes, turned to look at the silent and serious Jeremy. She wiped away her tears and walked over to where he was seated. “Jeremy, please don’t be angry. I’m sure Corinne didn’t mean to do it…”
