Chapter 372
Jeremy’s cold expression turned even gloomier. “I’ve never forgotten Anya’s kindness, and I will repay
it for you.”
“Is that so?” Lucas sneered and nced at Corinne with a hint of sarcasm.
Jeremy did not seem to have anything to argue about
regarding that issue. He was only polite to the Riveras because Anya had saved him in the past. With
no further remarks, he immediately took Corinne’s hand, led her away, and said, ‘ Let’s go home.”
Rather than leaving, Corinne grabbed his hand in a signal for him to wait a while instead of leaving in
such a hurry.
Jeremy stopped, frowned slightly, and nced at her. ‘What does she want now?’
However, Corinne merely looked calmly at Lucas as she said, ” Can I ask you something, Mister
Lucas? Do the Riveras have a tradition where one must always pledge their lives to the person who
saved them?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
Corinne smiled. “Does Jeremy have to pledge himself to your sister because she saved his life? Is it a
sign of ungratefulness if Jeremy doesn’t do that?”
Lucas kept quiet and waited for her to continue.
Corinne smiled slightly and cocked her eyebrow. “Remember when I saved your grandfather?
ording to your logic, does. your grandfather have to pledge himself to me, too? WouldThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
that mean you’ll have to call me ‘grandma‘ now?”
It was probably the first time Lucas had ever heard such an impudent remark, and his expression
changed suddenly as he asked, “What did you say?”
Even Sunny was stunned. ‘What nonsense is Corinne talking about?!‘
Yash and the other boys were stunned at first, then gasped in awe, and finally had to keep themselves
fromughing out loud. None of them expected that there someone would have been so brave as to
talk to the Rivera’s scion like that. Their worldview changedpletely!
Jeremy frowned, nced at Corinne with aplicated expression, and did not quite like the analogy
she used earlier.
Corinne continued, “What I’m trying to say is, the act of saving a person’s life should always be done
out of the kindness of one’s heart rather than for the sake of showing off, holding a person to emotional
ckmail, or using that person to secure benefits for oneself. Humans have the instinct to go forth and
help those in need, and those who have a heart will feel drawn to doing it. I trust that a good and
considerate person like your sister wouldn’t have rescued my man here simply because he was a
pretty boy, would she?”
Jeremy raised his eyebrows. Though he was pleased to hear her call him ‘my man‘, he did not
particrly like that she called him a pretty boy. He did not know how to react to that statement, and he
wondered if she was trying to piss him off too.
Sunny’s gentle and handsome face was full of gloom at the moment, and he remained silent.
Corinne then added, “Jeremy has never been an ungrateful
person, and I don’t want to hear anyone call him that. While it’s true that your sister is Jeremy’s savior,
Jeremy never once abandoned your sister. My husband rushed to save your sister when he received a
call from her, and she even called him to ask him to send her home. Can you imagine a noble person
like him having to do all that? Hasn’t he been helping your sister whenever she faces a problem?
“If your sister is sick and needs blood transfusions or an organ donation, I firmly believe that Jeremy
will feel obliged to donate without any objections. However, subjecting him to emotional ckmail will
give the impression that the Riveras are crass and undignified!”
Lucas was silent. It was the first time in his life that something like that happened to him, and he had no
idea what to reply to Corinne.
Meanwhile, Edmund was frustrated because that was also his first time seeing his employer being
scolded by a little girl. Despite wanting to vent his anger on Lucas’s behalf, he did not dare to act rashly
and speak out of turn when Lucas was silent.
