Corinne could still feel Jeremy trembling slightly. 'Seems like he's still traumatized by what happened…'
In some twisted way, she felt rather touched as no one ever cared that much about her before. After Emily went missing, Corinne was treated worse than a stray by the people who were supposed to take care of her.
"Mister, what would you do if I truly died back there?"
…
Phoebe, who was in the apartment, had settled down with a sheet mask on her face as she awaited good news from Anya. She thought their plan would work for sure this time, so she was understandably surprised when she received the news of Anya's arrest.
'Lucas, Mom, and Dad all knew about Anya's arrest, yet they did nothing about it? Does that mean they've given up on her? Oh no, what should I do?! What should I do?!'
She never expected Corinne would fake her death to trick Anya into exposing her true self.
Phoebe kept pacing around in circles until the sound of her phone ringing brought her back to the present. She thought she had found the answer to her problem when she saw it was Sunny calling.
'That's right. I still have Sunny! He can help me get Anya out!'
She quickly answered her phone. "Sunny!"
"Mom, where are you now?" asked Sunny raspily.
'That little b*tch is more devious than she looks! I'm not going to give her a chance to incriminate me or Sunny by leaving a voice recording. Anya's life is already ruined, so I must protect Sunny at all costs!'
Sunny was her only hope. Nobody would dare to look down at her anymore once her son inherited all of the Riveras' family fortune.
Phoebe continued to pace around the living room while waiting for Sunny.
As she paced around, she could not shake the feeling she was being watched. After looking around, she noticed the bedroom door was slightly ajar, and a pair of big round eyes were secretly staring at her.
Frowning, she quickly rushed over there and kicked the door wide open.
