Chapter 351


    Sunni’s resolve was


    Late at night, Anya secretly snuck in some food for Sunny.


    The two bodyguards standing guard at Sunni’s door hesitated to let her in but in the end thought they


    might as well. They knew Lucas had always given Anya whatever her heart desired.


    Therefore, even if Lucas was there himself, he would have let her in too.


    Besides, they did not want to risk incurring Lucas‘ wrath. What if Anya went to tell on them?


    Therefore, the safest option for them to take was to simply let her in.


    When Anya went in, Sunny was lying face down on the bed and crying his heart out.


    “Sunny? Sunny, get up. You’ll suffocate like that.”


    Sunny was startled to hear Anya’s voice. He immediately sat up straight and wiped away the tears from


    his eyes. Then, he turned around to face her and said tearfully, “Anya, what are you doing here? How


    come you’re not asleep?”


    “I can’t sleep ‘cause I’m so worried about you, so I thought why not drop in for a visit.” Anya pulled


    some tissues out from the box and walked over to wipe away Sunni’s tears. “Just look at you. You


    shouldn’t cry like this since you’re a big boy now.”


    Sunny could not help himself either. He felt so wronged that the tears just fell out of their own ord. In


    fact, what Anya said to him made him even angrier. “Anya, I was falsely used. I didn’t do what


    Lucas said I did. The reason I had the female influencer’s phone in my hand today was because I


    wanted to clear up Corinne’s name!”


    Anya was a little taken aback. Her hand that was wiping away Sunni’s tears froze midair while a sinister


    glint shed across her face.


    ‘Sunny risked himself to help Corinne, too? I don’t get it. What makes her so special that everyone.


    wants to help her out? Not only did Lucas spend his time investigating the source of the leak, but even


    the usually cowardly Sunny dared to steal the phone from Lucas‘ drawer?! They must’ve been taken in


    by her innocent act…‘ thought Anya.


    Sunny frowned when he saw Anya spacing out with a weird expression on her face. “Anya, what are


    you thinking about? Don’t tell me you don’t believe me, too?”


    Anya snapped out of her trance and immediately looked at him gently. “Nonsense! Of course I believe


    you, but you should know how Lucas is. He only believes what he sees for himself and will not be


    swayed just because you’re his little brother. He’ll never go easy on you since you don’t have proof that


    you weren’t the one who posted the video online. This is what you should do tomorrow; find Jeremy


    and apologize to him. Tell him you didn’t know what got into you. This way, it’ll make both Lucas and


    Jeremy less angry at you.”

    Sunny was shocked. He pushed away Anya’s hand and said, “Anya, are you serious? You want me to


    apologize for something I didn’t do? No way am I doing that! Why should I when I didn’t do anything


    wrong?!”


    Anya sighed and looked disappointed. “Sunny, I’m not going to force you… It’s just that, you know my


    biggest wish is to marry Jeremy and spend the rest of my life with him. But because of what


    happened between our two families in the past, I’m not able to do that at the moment. Now the matter


    with the video will only worsen what little left of goodwill we have with the Holden family. I might just as


    well give up the hope of ever marrying Jeremy! Sunny, can you please just do this for me? Pretty


    please?”


    Anya’s eyes reddened and tears threatened to roll down her cheeks. Anyone with a heart would have


    felt their heartstrings tugged at the sight of her big, sad puppy eyes.


    arting to shake. He would do anything for Anya, but…


    “But Anya, I think Jeremy and Corinne are-”


    Anya must have guessed what he was going to say, and she did not want him to continue, so she cut


    him off gently, “I know that Jeremy treats Corinne very well, but it’s not like he can just ignore her. She’s


    his wife after all, and I’m sure he’s just putting up a show for the elders in his family. Besides, he’s a


    responsible man. Even if he has no feelings for Corinne, he’d still make sure she’s


    well taken care of.”


    Sunny frowned and said, “No, that wasn’t what I was going to say. I really think Jeremy treats Corinne


    differently. In fact, I think he treats her better than…”


    Anya cut him off again. “As I said, they’re acting all lovey–dovey toward each other because they don’t


    want the elders in the Holden family to know that everything is fake. He’s only being nice, protective,


    and gentle to her on the surface. It’s all for the sake of his own family’s reputation, not because he has


    feelings for her.


    “He told me before that he only got married to Corinne to make the elders in his family happy and that


    he’ll end the marriage after his grandfather’s health is better so that he cane back to me,


    “Also, you should know very well that an aloof man like him would never fall in love with another


    woman in one short month. I know him the best; that won’t happen.”


    Sunny thought Anya’s reasoning was sound. The Jeremy he knew would never fall in love with another


    woman when he was still in love with Anya.


    After thinking about it, he could not bear to see Anya suffering so much, so he said, “Alright, then. I’ll do


    it for your sake. I’ll go tell Jeremy that I was the one who posted the video online and apologize to him


    tomorrow.”


    “Oh, Sunny! Thank you! Thank you so much!” Anya hugged him and cried happily. “I know you’re a


    good kid after all. I’m so d to have a little brother like you. Rest assured I’ll find the culprit who put all


    those things inside yourputer to clear up your name!”


    Sunny simply nodded. He had no doubt that Anya was going to do what she said she was going to


    1. do.


    Anya was about done crying. She got up and wiped away her tears before she brought out the food


    she snuck in for Sunny. “Here. These are all your favorite foods. I can’t bear to see you go hungry.


    Hurry up and eat them.”


    Sunny was in no mood to eat but did not want to let Anya’s effort go to waste, so he bit into some


    toast.


    Anya looked at her naive little brother with relief. Then, she smiled sinisterly and thought, ‘No one will


    ever suspect me now that I’ve convinced him to apologize to Jeremy. It’s not like he’ll lose out much,


    anyway. The worst thing that’ll happen to him is probably Lucas going to give him another earful. But if


    Lucas found out that I was the one who posted the video online… he’ll never trust me again. Plus, it’ll


    make Jeremy like me even less. D*mn if I’m going to let that happen. Sorry Sunny,


    but I have no choice but to sacrifice you for the sake of my happiness.‘


    The next day, Corinne was still not awake by the time Jeremy walked out from his study. He made his


    way to the bedroom and knocked on the door.


    No one answered from inside, so he turned the doorknob, only to find out that it was locked.


    “Please wait a moment, Mister Jeremy. I’ll get the spare key right away,” said Bowen as soon as he


    saw what happened.
