Chapter 1505
Sunny was a man, so he did not have anything to be embarrassed about. It was
Corinne that he was worried about, but it became apparent that his concerns
were unnecessary because she did not seem to show any fear of
embarrassment. He decided to follow Corinne and accompany her to the room
next door. With Corinne around, he did not need to fear the possibility that Lucas
might give him a good beating for confronting them.
As they reached the door of the adjacent suite, they tried to eavesdrop on the
situation within but could not sense anything odd. Corinne then raised her hand
to knock on the door.
Meanwhile, Edmund was closely monitoring the situation from the opposite suite
when he saw Corinne and Sunny approaching the door. Their sudden presence
startled him, and he needed to act swiftly as there was no time to seek further
instruction from Lucas. As if by instinct, he opened the door and dragged the two
persons in before closing the door shut. 1
Corinne was caught off-guard when someone pulled her, and she was prepared
to defend herself when she saw that it was Edmund. Her alertness turned to that
of confusion, with Sunny being just as perplexed as she was.
“Edmund?” Sunny asked. “Why are you here?’
Edmund felt a headache coming and immediately responded, “I should be asking
you that. And why did you bring Miss Corinne with you?”
Sunny said with a frown, ’I saw Lucas coming to this hotel, so I tailed him to find
out what he was up to. Please be honest with me, Edmund. Is he having an affair
with Sophia? Is that why he asked you to keep watch here?”
Edmund's lips twitched slightly as he struggled to understand Sunny’s
suspicions.
As Sunny looked eagerly at Edmund for an answer, Lucas’ calm, aloof voice
resounded through the room. “Do you suspect me of having an affair with
Sophia?”
Sunny was startled and felt a chill down his spine. He turned to see that Lucas
was sitting leisurely on the sofa with a cup of coffee.
“Wait a sec! Why are you here? Aren’t you supposed to be in the opposite suite?’
Sunny wondered.
Lucas looked at Sunny’s petrified reaction. He took a sip of coffee before raising
an eyebrow. “I take it you're here to catch me in the act? And you even brought
Corinne along! Quite an initiative on your part.”
Beads of sweat were starting to form on Sunny’s forehead, and he was starting
to feel guilty. Nevertheless, he still questioned Lucas, “Why would you meet
Sophia at a hotel if you were just discussing business?”
Lucas chuckled. "Your boldness seems to have increased a lot during the past
three years. To think you'd even start questioning my plans!”
Sunny was fast losing confidence, and he had a frustrated frown. “I'm just
concerned about you, Lucas! You know that Sophia isn’t a good person, and
you'll only get yourself in trouble if you're involved with her! You agree, don't you,
Corinne?”
Sunny sought support from Corinne and avoided confrontation.
Corinne gazed calmly at Lucas and asked, “Could you please explain what's
going on?”
Lucas’ expression softened involuntarily as he glanced at her. “Come sit with me,
Corinne.”
Corinne went over and took a seat.
