Chapter 296
Corinne looked at Lucas. “Looks like the 7.5 million dollars check wasn’t well spent. Didn’t you promise you’ll leave me alone for a year once you get the money? A day hasn’t even passed, and here you are.”
Lucas was already used to Corinne’s unpredictability. His thin lips curled into a smile, and he cordially said, “Miss Corinne, now isn’t the time to joke around. I wouldn’t have come to bother you if the victim wasn’t my own sister.”
Corinne took a leisurely sip of the straw. “Regarding that case, I’ve told the police officers everything. You’re more than welcome to ask them for information about the case.‘
Lucas stared coldly at her. “I’ve come here to confront you with the consent of the police officers.”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “Confront me?”
Jeremy was stationed beside Corinne’s hospital bed, and at that moment, one of the police officers in the ward said to him, “Mister Jeremy, please step to the side. The new witness is now having a confrontation with the suspect. Police officers need to get closer to take notes.”
Jeremy just stared at the police officer indifferently and
remained standing where he was like an immovable, majestic mountain with both of his hands tucked inside his pants‘ pockets.
A certain chill ran up the police officer’s spine, even though Jeremy did not say anything. “Mister Jeremy…” began the police officer exasperatedly.

The police officers had finished setting up their equipment. The confrontation would be recorded in two ways: video and a written transcript.
Lucas wasted no time in getting straight to the point. “Miss Corinne, you said that you’ll only confess to your crimes if there’s circumstantial evidence of you meeting up with the perpetrator. Well, you’re looking at the circumstantial evidence right now.”
Corinne covered her mouth to yawn. “I’m sorry, but I’m looking for real evidence, not fake evidence.”
Lucas‘ expression remained relaxed. “You can rest assured that I won’t be confronting you without solid proof.”
Corinne lazily leaned back against the bedrest. “Mister Lucas, pray tell, how are you going to prove that I’ve met up with the perpetrator before?”
