Sunny frowned. “What do you mean? Did Corinne go missing?”
“It’s still too early to tell. I’m going to look for her nearby. Call me if she’s back.”
After that, Jason rushed out to the elevator again.
Sunny watched as Jason left, feeling confused.
Xante, who just finished showering and was dressed in a bathrobe, came out of her room. “Who was at the door?”
“It was Jason. He came to look for Corinne. He said Corinne left the birthday party early, and it sounds like she went missing.”
Xante frowned and went back to her room to call Corinne. In the end, she got the same response as Jason—her phone was
switched off.
‘This can’t be good!’ Xante ran over to her closet to change into something more presentable.
“Xante, are you going out to look for Corinne too?” asked Sunny when he saw her panicking.
“Yeah. Can you go home first?” she asked while changing.
Sunny frowned. “No, I want to go with you!”
As much as she did not want to bring Sunny with her, Xante had no choice but to let him follow her since she did not have the
bandwidth to deal with him. After she finished changing, she grabbed her car keys with one hand and called Aaron with her
other.
Sunny quickly threw on her jacket and followed her out of the apartment. The three of them drove along the streets for a long
time but still failed to find Corinne. Her phone was switched off, so they could not call her either.
Xante, Aaron, and Jason were so worried about Corinne that they went to the police station to report Corinne as missing.
However, they knew they could not do that since it had not been 48 hours yet.
Xante stopped her car at an intersection. “We’re close to your house. Go home, Sunny.”
Sunny looked at his watch. It was already quite late at night. Lucas would definitely send someone to haul him home if he did not
go back then.
Thus, he decided to listen to Xante. “Fine. But remember to call me when you’ve found Corinne.”
“Okay,” replied Xante with a nod.
Sunny got out of the car and waved to Xante before turning into the street where his mansion was.
The moment he entered the mansion, Felix came up to him fearfully and said, “Mister Sunny, you’re home late! Mister Lucas is
going to be angry again if he finds out about this!”
“Where is he now? Maybe he won’t be that angry since I did finish my homework before going out,” said Sunny sheepishly.
Felix pointed to the half-emptied coffee on the table and said, “Mister Lucas was sitting there, waiting for you to come home just
moments ago. He didn’t look too happy, so I assumed you were going to get it tonight.”
Sunny gulped nervously after taking a glance at the living room. “Where... Where is he now?”
“He’s upstairs talking to a guest. It’s a good thing he went out to pick up a guest just now, or I don’t think you’re going to survive
the night...”
Sunny sighed in relief when he heard that. “So who’s the guest?”
‘All of Lucas’ friends have gone to Sophia’s birthday party. He must’ve received an invitation too, but it’s not surprising he didn’t
go since he never liked those kinds of events. But since all of his friends are at the birthday party, who else can the guest be that
he’d bring them up to his room?’
Felix shook his head. “I don’t know. I only know we have a guest because the maid said he brought a woman back home.”
‘A woman?’ wondered Sunny.
