The Day I Kissed An Older Man novel 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 came back to the living room and said, "It's true. Anya has been out of prison for a month, but she hasn't come home. 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, I have people looking for her everywhere. Please don't worry too much. It's probably safer for Joey if Anya is the kidnapper since she adopted him before..."

Corinne became even 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? Come on, you knew how she treated him, too! You know what? I'd rather think Joey got snatched by some random 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 became a mother, her children became her biggest weakness, and she could not maintain the same level 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 some commotion 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."
