Chapter 288
‘What illegal activities?‘ thought Corinne puzzledly. It was obvious she was confused by the expression on her face.
Jeremy came over and asked in a low voice, “Which case are you referring to?”
It was only then the police officers noticed Jeremy was also in the room. They were a little caught off guard by that.
“Mister Jeremy, do you know Miss Corinne?”
“Yes. What business do you have with her?” questioned Jeremy seriously.

Anya–who was standing next to Jeremy–recalled the terrible ordeal she experienced last night when she saw the police officers. Instinctively, she leaned on Jeremy for support, as she exclaimed anxiously, “Mister police, what case is Corinne involved in? Is there a possibility that you might’ve gotten the wrong person? She’s a good person, I tell you.”
The police officers were even more thrown off to see Anya. Miss Anya, you’re here, too! So both of you know Miss Corinne. 11
Considering the victim and her ‘family‘ had a right to know, the police officers decided to go straight to the point. “It’s like this, Mister Jeremy… We’ve already caught the perpetrator who tried to rape Miss Anya last night. Under our intense interrogation, the perpetrator finally confessed everything, saying that a certain Corinne Carew gave him fifteen thousand dollars to carry out a rape crime against Miss Anya.”
“Wha… What?” The food thermos Anya was holding in her hand fell to the floor, causing the soup to spill out, and missing her feet by only an inch. Jeremy–with his quick reflexes–quickly pulled her away to save her.
Anya was in shock. She kept shaking her head while muttering, “No… No… This can’t be. Corinne is my friend. She wouldn’t hurt me like this…”
The police officers, who had seen everything under the sky, could not help but feel bad for Anya, who they thought was kind and innocent. “Miss Anya, you’ll only know who the person is once their mask is off. I suggest you choose your friends more wisely in the future.”
“How can this…” Anya seemed to have suffered a huge blow to her faith in the goodness of people. Her weak and small frame was teetering on the edge of falling. She anxiously grabbed hold of Jeremy’s arm. “Jeremy, how can this be? Corinne is a good person. She won’t do anything to hurt me…right?”
Jeremy looked at Anya, then sideways at Corinne.
Corinne, who was leaning against the hospital bed, calmly stared back at him in a ‘I–told–you–so‘ way. She knew this would never end, not when she was still married to him. In fact, she could kiss her peaceful life goodbye.

Jeremy held her stare with his deep, dark eyes for a moment before turning back to tell the police officers, “You better have evidence that she is a suspect. Otherwise, don’t even think about taking her away from the hospital.”
The police officers were stunned. Suddenly, they had no idea which side Jeremy was really on. ‘Isn’t he Miss Anya’s
boyfriend? Why does it seem like he’s protecting the suspect?‘
“We have both physical evidence and witness testimonies. Mister Jeremy, we’re just doing our job by the book, so please step aside and stop interfering.” It was obvious from the way the police officers were behaving that they had decided Corinne was guilty. All that was left for them to do was go through all the formalities.
“You have both physical evidence and witness testimonies…?” Anya took a deep breath and turned to look sadly at Corinne. Her eyes were so red and teary that anyone would have wanted to scoop her up to assure her everything would be okay.
