Sophia pretended to be shocked. “Mister Lucas, do you have any proof I was behind the fliers? You shouldn’t accuse me if you don’t have any proof. I swear I’m only here to make sure Corinne is okay as Jeremy’s friend. I mean, I thought it’s the least I could do since Jeremy is not with us anymore…”

She started to get teary as she spoke.

Lucas never fell for a trick like this. He was in a rush to get back to Corinne, so he wanted to cut his conversation short. “That’s enough. You’re not welcome here. Corinne doesn’t want to see you at all.”

Realizing she would need to take a harder approach with Lucas, Sophia said steelily, “Mister Lucas, can I ask what your relationship is with Corinne? What right do you have to speak on her behalf? What right do you have to stop me from seeing her?”

“Of course I have the right. As for what my relationship with Corinne is, that’s none of your business,” replied Lucas coldly. After that, he stepped into the pantry room. He thought that Sophia would not back down so easily, so he was pleasantly surprised when she did not follow him in.
