At that moment, Anya and Rosie walked through the door while chatting, carrying a bunch of shopping bags.

“Anya, the dress you picked for me just now is too pretty. I love it so much! I’ll wear that to Missus Benet’s birthday party tomorrow!”

“Mm-hmm. I feel it’s very pretty as well! If you wear that tomorrow, you’ll certainly stun everybody!”

“Waah!” Seeing that his mother returned, Joey became more worked up. He rushed toward her like he lost. his mind, but he fell because he was running too fast. He then cried even harder.

Anya was stunned when she saw that, then she quickly helped him up. “What’s the matter, Joey?”

Joey quickly hugged his mother’s neck and nestled in her arms seeking protection. However, he was still crying without stopping.

“Joey, talk to me. What’s the matter? Are you not feeling well?”

Other than crying, a one-year-old child could not express his experience and feelings.

Anya was worried, so she started to check on his body. As soon as she rolled up his sleeves, she saw his arms were covered in bruises that looked terrifying!

Anya felt heartbroken, and tears instantly welled up in her eyes. “H-how did this happen?”

Joey was still crying and his tiny frame was trembling all over.

Rosie was shocked to see those bruises as well. In the next second, she turned her condemning gaze to the only other person present in the office earlier.

“It’s you, Corinne! You must have abused Joey when we weren’t around!”

“I didn’t.” Corinne found it strange. He was such a young child, and he was Jeremy and Anya’s precious. son. He should be doted on like the apple of their eyes. Why would he have such bruises? How dared to lay a finger on him?

Rosie, however, glared at her fiercely. “You said you didn’t, but are we supposed to take your word for it? Only you and Joey were here the whole time. If it wasn’t you, who else?”

Corinne was calm. “Miss Rosie, you need to have evidence to make such claims.”

Rosie sneered. “Evidence? Your lack of alibi is the strongest evidence!”

Anya picked up her son while feeling sorry for him. She looked at Corinne with teary eyes, and said with grievance and anger, “Corinne, I only asked you to help me look after my child for a while. No matter how unhappy you were, you shouldn’t do this to a child! I trusted you so much..”

Trust? Anya said she trusted her? What a joke!

Seeing Anya’s realistic performance, Corinne immediately understood that this was a setup she designed.

However, Corinne never would have expected that she would be so vicious that she used her son!

At that moment, Lucas returned. As soon as he entered his office, he saw his sister and nephew crying. He frowned and asked, “What’s the matter?”

“Lucas!” Anya rushed into her brother’s arms while carrying Joey. She broke down sobbing like she was aggrieved.

Lucas had no idea what happened. When he looked down and saw his sister and nephew were crying so hard, he felt heartbroken. “Anya, what’s the matter? What happened?”

Rosie complained angrily, “You came back just in time, Lucas! Corinne abused Joey when Anya and I went out for a moment! Look! Joey’s body is covered with bruises that were pinched by her. He is in so much pain that he kept crying! What a poor thing!”

While saying that, Rosie lifted Joey’s clothes for Lucas to have a look.

Lucas frowned. After he saw the spots on Joey’s body, his gentle eyes turned cold as he looked up and stared at Corinne. “Are you even human, Miss Corinne? How could you do this to a child?”
