Chapter 693
The maid who came out to testify against her was the one who came to the living room and brought her a cup of
coffee, and she was the one who followed the maid into this kitchen. After she came in, the maid disappeared.
She was initially puzzled by how a person could vanish like that, but she finally understood. The maid had hidden
behind the refrigerator in advance, waiting to come out and provide false testimony.
Hmph. It appeared the maid was also Anya’s pawn. What a meticulously planned trap.
Corinne was indeed speechless. There was nothing much to say, and the testimonies and the evidence were
against her. The only option was to hand it over to the police and have them professionally investigate the matter
and clear her name. When the police and forensic experts arrive, they would determine the time of the child’s

With the maid she arranged in advance standing up to accuse Corinne, Anya felt like victory was in her hands.
However…one look at Jeremy made her realize he still trusted Corinne. Her heart twisted with jealousy.
Resentful, Anya gritted her teeth and embraced Joey with deep sorrow, sobbing as she said, “Brother, since Corinne
refuses to admit her crimes, let’s do as she wishes and call the police. We can’t let my little treasure’s death remain
a mystery!”
Lucas had no intention of showing mercy to Corinne, who
showed no remorse. He thus signaled to his subordinates to call the police.
Corinne yawned wearily and said, “They’ve called the police, Mister, so let’s wait here a bit longer and cooperate
with the investigation.”
Jeremy lowered his gaze and looked at her. “Didn’t you say you were tired?”
Corinne shrugged helplessly. “Even when tired, I still need to cooperate with the investigation. I want to be a law–
abiding citizen.”
Jeremy lovingly patted the little girl’s head and could not help but feel distressed. He regretted bringing her here
tonight. They had just made up, yet she was sucked into this mess.
After someone from the Riveras reported the incident to the police, Corinne unintentionally caught a glimpse of a
provocative smile on Anya’s face.
How could she smile while holding her deceased son in her arms?
Unfortunately, that twisted smile disappeared in an instant, seen only by Corinne. No one else noticed Anya’s true
nature.
Upon seeing Anya’s triumphant smile, Corinne’s heart skipped a beat, and she envisioned the next dilemma she
would face.

Since Anya had carefully orchestrated this trap today, she must have taken into account all the risks cunningly and
meticulously. Most likely, the forensic experts and the police were already part of her plan.
This was evident from Anya’s complete lack of fear of the police.
Corinne should have realized that there was no place beyond Anya’s reach. It was impossible to rely on those who
had been bribed by Anya to uncover the truth and restore her innocence!
This time, she had truly been careless. She had mistakenly believed that Anya still had a trace of motherly instinct
left for the child, and that was why her acting fooled her.
Amid her worries, Corinne suddenly noticed a slight
movement of the finger of the deceased child being held by Anya. It was very subtle, but it was not an illusion.
Was the child…still alive?
Corinne’s pupils constricted, and she quickly walked over, crouching down to feel the child’s pulse.
