Edmund swallowed back what he was about to say to greet Jeremy.
“Welcome back, Mister Jeremy.”
“Thank you. Take us out of here now,” Jeremy said coldly.
“Wait,” said Corinne. She turned to look at Jeremy and said angrily, “Mister Jeremy, why did you drag me into your
car? I’m going to get out if you can’t give me a good reason!”

“Both?”
An alarm bell went off inside Corinne’s mind. “I’m not hurt, so why do I need to go too?”

silence, he said meaningfully, “To see if you have in your possession something that rightfully belongs to my family.”
