Xante sighed. “It wasn’t us, boss. He crashed into a glass door himself and broke it. The doctor says he has a mild
concussion and he’s still unconscious as we speak.”
The corners of Corinne’s mouth started twitching. ‘Seems like the reason Sunny’s still alive until now is ‘cause his
family protected him very well. It’s no wonder Lucas keeps such a close eye on him. Sunny does give the vibe of
easily dying if no one is watching over him.‘
“Okay. I understand the situation now. Keep a close eye on him and make sure he doesn’t run around when he
wakes up. I’ll be at the hospital soon.”
“Don’t worry, boss. You can certainly count on me.”
After hanging up the phone, Corinne turned to look at Ghostlord. She had a change of heart. ‘It would be unethical

find out their identity.‘
She decided it was in her best interest to keep Ghostlord’s identity a mystery since he was her idol after all. ‘I
should make a move to the hospital to see how Sunny is doing.‘
Corinne walked over to Ghostlord to look for his phone so that she could inform his family to pick him up but she
came up empty–handed. After thinking about it, she asked room service to bring her some anti–hangover medicine.
She fed the medicine to the still–unconscious Ghostlord and waited for a while for it to take effect before checking
his pulse again to make sure he was okay. ‘He should be fine,‘ she thought before leaving the room.
She checked herself into another room on another floor. There she undressed herself, took a shower, changed into
her normal clothes, and made her move to the hospital. While waiting for the elevator to reach her floor, she
checked her phone for the hospital address Xante sent her and discovered it was not too far away.
Ding!
The elevator door opened and Corinne saw Lucas and Edmund standing behind one another inside the elevator.
Lucas immediately frowned with displeasure when he saw Corinne standing outside the elevator door. Corinne, too,
was surprised to see him there. She smiled and nodded politely at him. “Fancy seeing you here, Mister Lucas.”
She then got into the elevator, stood casually to the side, and pressed the close button. The elevator door slowly
shut close, trapping them inside. They could not ignore each other’s existence in such a small space but Corinne did
not mind as she busied herself with replying to Xante’s messages.
Lucas narrowed his eyes and looked at her nonchalant side profile. “Miss Corinne, can you tell me what’s your
ultimate aim here?”
Corinne was a little taken aback by the sudden question. She raised her brow and looked at him. quizzically. “What
do you mean what’s my ultimate aim?”

She stopped going to work ever since Lucas told her not to on the day of Edgar’s birthday party. On one hand, she
was fired and on the other, she thought it was pointless to keep working there and risk Lucas‘ ire because it would
be more difficult than ever to look into her mother’s disappearance after Lucas became highly suspicious of her.
Besides, she came up with a Plan B and that was to look into the Lovelace family. However, due to her recent low
mood, she did not find the time to visit Edgar and Gertrude. Meaning to say, she made no progress in finding out
the truth about her mother’s disappearance.
“Don’t pretend you don’t know what I’m talking about when you’re the one who engineered a fake run–in with me
in this hotel,” said Lucas with a mocking smile.
Corinne frowned and looked at Lucas with a hint of disbelief on her face.
“You’re reading too much into this, Mister Lucas. It just so happens I’m staying at this hotel too.”
“It just so happens eh?” Lucas chuckled drily. “As if I would be foolish enough to believe that it was only a
coincidence that we just so happen to run into each other in another city.”
