The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel Chapter 293

Chapter 293

Jeremy was not someone the police officers could afford to cross. At the same time, Lucas made it clear to them that they must not let Corinne off the hook easily. Facing pressure from both sides, they were at a loss for what to do at that moment.

“Who said there’s not enough evidence?” Lucas‘ crisp clear voice came from the elevator.

“Lucas!” exclaimed Rosie happily. Her eyes immediately lit up at the sight of him.

Lucas strolled over leisurely with a kind of self–assuredness that only the very wealthy like him and Jeremy could possess.

A certain level of confidence fell over Anya’s face when she saw Lucas walking over to them, but she chose to remain standing passively next to Jeremy. She did not want to leave his side if given a choice.

Sunny was awed and nervous at the same time. He wanted to make a run for it but decided it would be worse if he got reprimanded for that.

“Lucas, good timing! The officers said Corinne would only confess to her crimes if there was circumstantial evidence of her meeting up with the perpetrator. But where can we get that kind of evidence?”

“Well, look no further,” said Lucas with a crook of an eyebrow.

Rosie was stunned. “Do you have it? Do you know where we can find some circumstantial evidence, Lucas?” questioned Rosie quizzically.

“I’m the circumstantial evidence you’re looking for!” exclaimed Lucas with gentle authority. “Coincidentally, I saw Corinne meeting up with the perpetrator two nights ago.”

Lucas positioned himself in the middle of the crowd and nodded politely to the police officer as a form of greeting. Then he cast a ‘friendly‘ glance at Jeremy and said, “Jeremy, I do apologize. I have no choice but to intervene in this matter since it concerns the safety of my sister.”

He pretended to speak humbly, but there was no denying the wilfulness in his energy.

There would be hell to pay if anyone dared to hurt his little sister.

Jeremy calmly looked at Lucas. “Seems like you’re determined to lock up anyone with the slightest suspicion hanging over their head, including my poor, innocent wife.”

“Jeremy, I wouldn’t have wasted my time collecting evidence if it was anybody other than your wife. It is precisely because Corinne is your wife that I’m willing to come here to give you an explanation. The truth will be revealed once we all go in and interrogate her. Then you’ll find out for yourself whether

she’s been wrongly accused or you don’t know her as well as you thought you did.”

Lucas‘ face was brimming with confidence. He then turned to the police officer and asked the police officer politely, “Officer, as a witness to circumstantial evidence, I’m allowed to go in to confront the suspect, right?”

The police officer was still a little out of it. He quickly nodded once he snapped out of his daydream. “Uh… Yes. Yes, you’re allowed.”
