Chapter 413


    Anya was not happy at all. However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she pretended to be kind


    and understanding


    “Don’t worry, Sunny. I’m fine and I’m sure Corinne didn’t mean to do that, so… Let’s just forget about it.”


    Sunny nodded confidently. “Yeah! I’m sure she didn’t mean it too. There must be some


    misunderstanding. I’ll go ask her about itter.”


    Anya was speechless.

    ‘Unbelievable! My own brother would rather believe Corinne is innocent than to ept the fact that she


    harassed me! Did she slip him a love potion or something?’ thought Anya.


    Lucas witnessed their interaction with a sullen face. Then, he suddenly said sternly and sarcastically,


    “You seem to be very confident about what kind of person Corinne is. Tell me, did she bribe you with


    something?”


    Sunny felt pressured when he realized just how dark Lucas’ face was. “No… She didn’t, but she helped


    me out a few times. and she never asked for a favor in return. I figured someone like that can’t be all


    that bad!”


    “That’s all? What you’re saying is that Corinne is a good person and Anya is lying about what


    happened?” questioned Lucas with a cold look in his eyes. ?


    Sunny shook his head. “No, that’s not what I’m saying. I just think some kind of misunderstanding


    must’ve happened


    between them. Corinne would never assault Anya! She


    definitely isn’t that kind of person!”


    He emphasized the word ‘definitely’, making Lucas and Anya wonder just how confident he was about


    Corinne’s character that he would use the word ‘definitely’ without hesitation.


    Sunny rarely butt heads with Lucas, who was even stricter than their father. Therefore, he did not know


    where he got the courage to talk back to Lucas like that. In any case, he did not like how Lucas spoke


    about Corinne.


    The argument between the two brothers seemed to have attracted attention from others.


    “Are Mister Lucas and Mister Sunny arguing with each other? I wonder what happened?”


    “Miss Anya seems to be caught in the middle. Look, she’s crying!”


    “Isn’t Mister Sunny deathly afraid of his brother? Something must’ve happened for him to hold his


    ground like that.”


    “Who knows? They were fine just moments ago.”


    Lucas stared at Sunny for a while, deep in thought as a multitude of emotions shed through his eyes.


    ‘This half-brother of mine has always been scared of me ever since we were young. In fact, he doesn’t


    even dare to breathe too loudly around me. Now, he dares to talk back to me just because of Corinne.


    Well, I’m d he’s manned up, but he should know that familyes first!’ thought Lucas.


    He did not want to humiliate Sunny in front of so many people so he decided to give him a way to back


    down. “Whether or not what happened today was a misunderstanding, you’re to stay


    away from Corinne. In other words, you’re not allowed to talk to her unless it’s absolutely necessary.”


    Sunny frowned and stubbornly said, “She’s my friend! I have to talk to her. Sorry, Lucas, but I’m not


    going to listen to you this time.”


    “You son of a gun!” shouted Lucas angrily.


    ‘I already gave him a way out, yet he still dares to defy my order. Is it all because of that Corinne?’


    Sunny took a deep breath in a bid to shore up his courage. “L- Lucas, don’t forget that Corinne saved


    grandfather. Our family is indebted to her so don’t you think it would make us seem a little ungrateful if


    you forbid me to talk to her?”


    “Why you!”
