Chapter 317
Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling a little tired. He had always given in to Anya, and
sometimes, he worried he was spoiling her too much.
Anya turned her head to look out of the window, and even though she got what she wanted, there was
still a disdainful expression on her face. She did not really care whether Lucas had her photo hanging
in his car or whether he would think of her while driving; all she wanted was to win against Luna.
Ever since Anya was young, everyone around her always told her that she was lucky to be born into
the Rivera family. She was treated like a little princess and was loved by thousands.
However, no one had any idea that no matter how much she was loved, she would never be able to win
against that stupid stepsister of hers who had been missing for more than a decade.
Tomemorate Luna, her father spent huge sums of money to build Lunar Century Manor in the city
center where every inch of thend was worth more than a bar of gold.
Then there was Lucas, who would always put the missing Luna before Anya. When she was young and
in order to be favored by Lucas, Anya asked someone to tattoo an identical cherry- red mole in
between her eyebrows so that she would look like Luna.
Frankly speaking, she loathed the whole thing but had no choice because Lucas did not like her at first
on ount of him and her noting from the same mother. She thought that
by imitating Luna, Lucas would like her more, and she was right! Look at how Lucas spoiled her.
In fact, one could say that it was not Lucas who was living under the shadow of Luna’s disappearance
but herself! That was why, out of the whole world, she hated Luna the most. Anya wished for nothing
more than for Luna to be wiped out from everyone’s memories.
What was even more uneptable to Anya was that she was not the most special person to Jeremy.
To say that she was unhappy would be an overstatement. In fact, she would not be happy until she was
the most important and most special person in everyone’s lives.
“Lucas, I feel scared…” Anya suddenly said in a trembling voice.
Lucas thought she was not feeling well. He stopped the car by the side of the road and gently asked,
“What’s wrong? There’s nothing to be scared of as long as I’m by your side.”
Anya took her brother’s hand and said anxiously, “I’m a little afraid of Corinne. I always feel that she
has a lot of hostility toward me. Coupled with the fact that Rosie did such a stupid thing… Well, I’m
scared that Corinne would take her revenge on me.”
“Don’t worry, I’ll arrange for someone to protect you. never let anyone hurt you.”
I’ll
Lucas could not help but feel annoyed whenever he thought of how Corinne rudely ignored him, and he
reminded himself to not underestimate her. He already lost a sister, and he would be d*mned if he was
going to lose another.
At that moment, a sports car wasing from the opposite direction.
A multitude of feelings were bubbling inside Corinne when she turned her head to look at Jeremy,
whose eyes were focused on the road. She pursed her lips and said, “Thank you, Mister.”
Jeremy nced at her and asked, “What are you thanking me for?”
“I’m thanking you for helping me find the new witness in
time today, or the truth of this matter wouldn’t be revealed so soon.”

“How did you know that I was the one who found the new witness?”
“Umm…” The question stumped Corinne.
Jeremy never told her that he was the one who found the new witness. As far as he knew, Corinne was
just a country
bumpkin. Plus, there was no reliable channel to obtain undisclosed information such as this.
‘It’s not like I can tell him it was Aaron who reported it to me,‘ thought Corinne.
