NovelEnglishChapter 1699 Corinne sat in the car as Lucas brought her back to the Holdens. She seemed to be lost in thought as she leaned against the window.
Lucas turned to her and asked, is Jeremy all right?" "He's fine," Corinne replied wearily, "nothing serious happened." Lucas then asked, "When do you plan to set the plan in motion?" "Soon." Corinne narrowed her eyes.

Maxwell was already resting on his hospital bed. Upon seeing the two of them return, he sat up and immediately greeted his future daughter-in-law.
Xante had never been one to take advantage of other people, but since she returned with Sunny, she had no choice but to use Corinne as her subject of conversation. "I've heard that you're quite concerned about Corinne's well-being. Sunny mentioned that you've been feeling down today and that you'd like to hear more about her.
Corinne and | grew up together, so feel free to ask whatever questions you want. I'll do my best to answer them." 'Sorry for dragging you into this, boss. It'll be too awkward here if | don't talk about you,' Xante thought to herself.
Maxwell's face lit up, and he seemed to have gained a bit of color on his face. "Oh? You were childhood friends with her?" "You could say that." Xante nodded.
Maxwell then turned to Sunny and said, "Don't just stand there! Get a chair for your girlfriend!" Sunny had been searching for a chair in the room because he could not bear to see his darling standing, but there were none available inside the ward. He then decided to bring over a sofa from the adjacent ward and said, "Here. Let's sit together, hehe!" Xante glanced at the sofa Sunny had moved and reluctantly took a seat. As she sat down, Sunny seized the opportunity to hug her waist. Though she did not consider herself a prude in any way, she still had smeasure of reservedness in front of those who were older than her. She reached out and pushed away Sunny's advances with a stern expression.

'What kind of son makes such comments about his father?" Maxwell thought.
'He must think that he's praising his father with that comment!" Xante mused.
Neither Maxwell nor Xante paid any further attention to Sunny. Instead, Maxwell turned to Xante and asked softly, "Could you share how you and Corinne first met? Did she endure a lot of hardships in her childhood?" Xante could not help herself from frowning as she recalled the challenges Corinne faced in her early years. There was a hint of displeasure in her expression as she looked at the irresponsible biological father in front of her.
"Yes. She endured a lot as a child, and the suffering she went through was more terrible than anything you can ever imagine."
