The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 1477

However, Sophia did not hear Bryan this time.

…

Corinne sat in her private booth with a frown. She looked like she was lost in thought.

Seeing this, Lucas asked her gently, "Are you okay? Did you find out who the patron in the opposite booth was?"

Corinne nodded. "It's Sophia."

Lucas was stunned. He looked worriedly at Corinne as he finally realized why Sophia bidded against him.

"It's so despicable for Adam Group to employ this kind of tactic," he said with a scoff.

Corinne scoffed as well. "It's not only despicable but greedy too! By doing so, they've raised the price to ten times its fair value!"

Lucas agreed to what Corinne said. His eyes darkened. "Don't worry. I'll explain what happened to the person in charge later. You have my word that I'll get that piece of land at a fair market price for you."

Corinne did not have any proof that Adam was Sophia's father since the old Adam had wiped out all of his past when he took up his new name.

Even so, she had faith Lucas would be able to dig up some proof.

…

The auction ended 40 minutes later.

Lucas looked worriedly at Corinne. "Did you see anyone else when you went to look for Sophia?"

Corinne was a little taken aback by his question. "No. She was the only person in the booth when I was there."

After a brief silence, Lucas replied, "Okay." After that, he turned back around and ordered the driver, "Drop Corinne back to the Holdens' mansion first."

"Yes, Mister Lucas!"

Corinne thought it was odd for Lucas to ask her such a question, so she asked him, "Mister Lucas, why did you ask me if I saw anyone else in Sophia's booth? Was there supposed to be someone else? Like her father?"

Lucas shook his head. "It's nothing. I only asked because I was curious to know whether she came alone or with her father."
