When her soft lips touched his, Corey felt a throb flashing through his heart.
It was a feeling that he had never felt before.
The tip of her tongue slipped past his lips, and she kissed him without any skills.
A faint smile gradually formed in his dark eyes. She was a bad kisser and did not know how to kiss at all.
Ying Xiaoxiao was shy about taking the initiative to kiss him. Upon seeing the smile in his eyes, she couldn’t help feeling a little annoyed. She pushed him away and said indignantly, “Corey, you’re so annoying!”
There was a hint of coquetry in her angry look.
Undoubtedly, she was charming!
As a glint flashed through his eyes, he stretched out his long arm and pulled her into his embrace. Then, he said, “silly girl, let me show you what a real kiss is.” His lips covered her slightly-open mouth.
Her pupils dilated all of a sudden. She had not expected that he would kiss her.
Corey was no longer satisfied. The hot tip of his tongue pried open her teeth.
In a moment, his breath filled all her senses.
Her fingertips couldn’t help curling up. She wasn’t drunk, though she had drunk quite a lot of wine. Nonetheless, she seemed intoxicated because of his kiss.
Her mind was in a whirl, and she seemed like a little boat floating on the sea, only able to float and sink along with the waves after completely losing its direction.
Xenia Zhao was accused of forging a document and committing deliberate murder.
However, she refused to acknowledge her guilt. She insisted that Seneca had already drawn up and signed the stock transfer document when he was in good health. As for murder, she tried to defend herself, claiming that she was not the person in the video.
In addition to not confessing, she did not cooperate with the police investigation either, which made the case come to a standstill.
What was worse, she had been released on bail after having been put in detention for some time.
Rosiley was shocked when she heard the news.
After sending Xenia Zhao to the detention center, Rosiley had no intention of leaving her with a chance to get out. Unexpectedly, she had gotten out.
It was said that she had claimed that she was not feeling well and needed to be hospitalized, so the police could only agree to release her from custody, subject to provision of a surety, pending investigation.
“The result of her check-up has come out. It’s breast cancer.”
Lane gave Rosiley the up-to-date information.
Rosiley’s eyes widened in surprise after she heard the news. “Breast cancer?”
She didn’t know about others, but she knew Xenia Zhao particularly well. How could someone who had an annual checkup and no health problems suddenly contract breast cancer?
That could only be the case if she had been lying about her medical condition.
Rosiley frowned and ruminated on it for a moment. Then she asked, “Lane, is it possible that Xenia Zhao has colluded with the hospital?”
The hospital could have lied and said that Xenia Zhao suffered from breast cancer. This way, Xenia Zhao would have a reason to excuse herself.
“We can’t rule out this possibility.” Lane thought for a moment and said, “We can apply for a re-check from the police and find a hospital we’re familiar with.”
“No.” Rosiley shook her head and rejected his suggestion. “It’s fine if Xenia Zhao is sick, but I’m sure she’ll insist that we are lying if we find out that she is not ill. It’ll be too troublesome if we have to do that a third time.”
At this point, Sachin, who had been sitting to one side silently, said, “We can ask a doctor to examine her without her even knowing it.”
“Without her even knowing it?” Rosiley thought for a moment, biting her lips, and then her eyes suddenly lit up. “Sachin, do you mean that we won’t need to ask for the police’s permission?”
Sachin nodded. “Yeah, we’ll carry it out in private. This way, no matter what the result is, we’ll have a clear idea of the truth.”
“In this case, we’ll be more confident about how to deal with Xenia Zhao.”
“You’re indeed smart, honey,” Sachin said in praise of her.
Rosiley smiled modestly and said, “You are smarter than me.”
The two smiled at each other. After that, Sachin told Lane what to do.
Rosiley watched him quietly. She was really at ease with him around.
