Chapter 1866 Jeremy walked over. He hugged Corinne close to him and soothed her back gently to calm her. He then led her into the house with Lucas.
After a few phone calls, Lucas cback to the living room and said, "It's true. Anya has been out of prison for a month, but she hasn't chome. We discovered that she worked a few jobs recently but resigned from all of them the day before yesterday. Nobody knows where she is now." Corinne could not sit still after hearing that. She stood up and said, "It has to be her! Why did she kidnap Joey? What is she trying to do?" Lucas looked at Corinne with a mix of compassion and helplessness, but he really did not have any other information that could help her locate Anya.

Corinne beceven more anxious when this was brought up. "Seriously, Lucas? Don't you know her yet? Do you have any idea why she adopted Joey back then? Con, you knew how she treated him, too! You know what? I'd rather think Joey got snatched by srandom person. That way, we can just pay the ransom! But Anya? She might want to take his life!" Corinne started tearing up at her own words as her fears intensified.
She always kept a level head when faced with life's unexpected challenges before having children. However, after she beca mother, her children becher biggest weakness, and she could not maintain the slevel of cool-headedness as before.
Lucas stayed silent, knowing Corinne was speaking the truth. It was impossible for them to figure out what Anya was up to if she was really the one who had kidnapped Joey.
Sunny, who was in the room upstairs and on the phone with Xante, frowned when he heard scommotion coming from the living room. He then sat up and listened carefully.
Xante noticed Sunny's unease, so she asked with concern, "What's wrong?" "I think I heard Corinne's voice coming from downstairs." Xante, too, was surprised. "The boss? What's she doing over there so late in the night?" Sunny got up and put on his shoes. "I don't know. I'll go down and check. I'll call you back!" "Okay." After hanging up the phone, Sunny quickly went downstairs dressed in his bathrobe. Sure enough, he found Jeremy and Corinne in the living room. However, everyone was sporting a solemn expression as if something serious had taken place.
"Hey guys, what's going on here?" Sunny asked curiously.

"Corinne, why... Why are you crying?" It was shocking for Sunny as he had never seen Corinne cry like that before.
Corinne was not in the mood to explain; she looked like her life sucked out of her. As a mother, she could not do anything for her kid. She was just helpless as she had no contact with the kidnappers, no idea where Joey was taken, and no leads on Anya.
She was so worried about Joey, fearing he might be injured and m scared, Jeremy gently embraced Corinne. He stroked her hair and comforted her in soothing hushes.
Sunny was even more puzzled. He turned to Lucas and asked "What happened to Corinne?" Lucas frowned seriously. "Sunny, have you seen Anya recently?"
