[Does that mean I’ve been to Kanton City before?]
Corinne was baffled by Ghostlord’s question. [Should be. Since you remember all of the things we
talked about alone when I met you there.]
There was a brief silence from Ghostlord. A minute later, the word [Typing…] appeared under his
profile picture.
Corinne waited patiently for him to reply, but she suddenly heard her son crying from the bathroom, so
she quickly typed out, [Sorry, but my son is crying. Talk next time.]
She snapped shut her laptop after she sent her text. She then got down from her bed and ran to the
bathroom.
Thus, she did not see the message Ghostlord sent her. [Which city are you in right now? Is it okay if we
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmeet up? I really want to know about my past.]
Meanwhile, Jeremy kept rereading the last message Corinne sent him with a regretful frown when he
heard Sophia’s footsteps coming from outside.
He quickly exited from the hacker system and pulled up another news website.
Sophia pushed open the door and said, “Zachary, stop reading all that useless news and come out for
dinner now.”
Jeremy nodded and calmly closed the website.
Sophia did not notice the skepticism that flashed across his face.
All the information he got about his past was from Sophia.
He used to believe her until Jade Rabbit, Corinne’s online moniker, told him that he had attended a
hacker conference in Kanton City before. Sophia, however, told him he had lived in Molomia all of his
life, and this was his first time in New Capital City.
One of them must be lying.
‘Jade Rabbit isn’t close to me and doesn’t know my real identity, so there’s no reason for her to lie to
me. That means…Sophia is the one lying. What exactly is she hiding from me?’ wondered Jeremy.
Corinne rushed into the bathroom and immediately saw ‘Bryan’ crying with his arm over his eyes. Joey
looked at him with a lost and confused expression.
“What happened?” asked Corinne.
“Bryan wouldn’t take off his clothes, so I thought I’d help him, but he wouldn’t let me either… I tried to
pull him and invite him to play with the toys together in the bath. That’s when he started crying…”
explained Joey with a bewildered expression.

want to take a bath?”
‘Bryan’ sniffled and said stubbornly, “I don’t want to take a bath with other people!”
Corinne frowned. “But Joey’s your brother, not other people. You two have always taken a bath since
you were little. How come you suddenly don’t want to take a bath with him anymore?”
‘Bryan’ looked at Joey and then back at Corinne. “He’s not my brother. I don’t have a brother.”
Hurt and shock riddled Joey’s face. His head immediately dropped.
“What nonsense are you talking about, Bryan?” asked Corinne, a little angry.
