Chapter 696
Although Lucas agreed to let Corinne try to revive Joey, he did not let his guard down. He stood aside and observed, instructing
the servants around him to record the entire process on their phones.
When the police arrived later, the video would be handed over to them to prevent Corinne from making any moves for the sake
of exoneration and then denying them later.
The child had been laid flat, and Corinne squatted on the ground, reaching out to open Joey’s eyelids and check. Then, she
carefully performed some basic life-saving measures for him.
Anya leaned weakly against her brother’s arms, sobbing as she stared at Corinne worriedly.
Honestly, she could not care less about Joey; it was all an act for Lucas and Jeremy to see.
However, only her brother cared for her. He comforted her softly, holding her tightly. Jeremy, on the other hand, had not glanced
her way once!
Anya sneakily glanced at that man who was beyond her reach.
Jeremy stood on Corinne’s side, standing tall and straight like a carefree cypress tree. His hands were casually tucked in his
pockets, his head slightly lowered, and his gentle yet powerful gaze unwaveringly fixed on the girl squatting on the ground,
performing CPR on the lifeless Joey.
At this moment, Jeremy looked much like the protective male protagonist who willingly stayed by her side, unwavering and
without doubt.
As Anya watched on, she felt an intense sting.
She used to think that as long as she drove Corinne away, Jeremy would stay by her side. However, she finally understood that
as long as Corinne did not disappear from this world, Jeremy’s eyes would never be on her.
Thus, Corinne must die!
She had to die!
At this moment, Edmund returned, holding a small bottle and handing it over. “Miss Corinne, this is the first-aid kit you asked for.”
Corinne quickly stood up and took the bottle, hastily unscrewing it.
Anya saw the cheap bottle and immediately took advantage of the situation, crying out in a mixture of urgency and anger,
“Corinne, you said you could save my Joey, but you’re using this basic first-aid to save him? This is a joke! How could basic first-
aid revive Joey?”
As she spoke, tears rolled down from her innocent deer-like eyes. She turned to her brother, seeking solace. “Brother, I knew I
shouldn’t have trusted her! Joey has stopped breathing, but she’s using this cheap kit on him. How could medicine in first-aid kits
possibly bring the dead back to life?”
Lucas’ eyebrows furrowed. He felt uneasy as he looked at his sister’s sorrowful appearance. He stared at Corinne and asked,
“Corinne, can you really do it?”
Corinne merely stared at the siblings before she resumed. She poured out all the contents in the kit and squatted, smearing
some powder onto the wound on the back of the child’s head. Then, she dug out a small red pill from under the pile of medicine.
Ordinary people would not know that there was such a hidden treasure in the first-aid kit. This was the one thing she truly
needed!
Corinne pried open Joey’s mouth and placed the pill inside, then had someone bring some water and slowly administer it.
The crowd watched eagerly, all their eyes fixed on the child lying on the ground, waiting to see if there would be any movement.
However, even after moments had passed, Joey showed no reaction, remaining as motionless as a corpse.
