Chapter 1281

Sophia held on to the banister and looked down at where Corinne was. "It's just a feeling of mine. I mean, Corinne is standoffish to everyone except for Jason, and they always seem to have something in common to talk about." Jeremy's grip tightened around the stem of his wine glass, which looked like it would break if he exerted just a little more strength. Sophia was about to say something else when she saw Jeremy striding down the stairs. She chased after him, asking, "Jeremy! Where are you going?" "Enjoy your party. I just remembered I have something else to do," said Jeremy. He walked down the stairs with both of his hands shoved into his pockets. Even though he looked casual, he was obviously brooding. Anyone would think twice about following him. Thus, Sophia stopped chasing after him. Instead, she watched him leave while a smile gradually appeared on her face. … Corinne was annoyed. She had gone one round around the room but still failed to find her mother's self-portrait.
