Chapter 442


    In the month since she left Jeremy’s ce, Corinne hardly heard anyone mention his name in front of


    her. Xante and Aaron probably talked about it with each other and came up with the agreement to not


    bring up anything about Jeremy in front of her. They even tried their very best to avoid talking about the


    business they have with Holden Group.


    Corinne told herself that it should not matter if they talked about Jeremy for he was nothing but a


    stranger to her now. Having said that, she still could not feel the disgust rising from her throat whenever


    she heard his name.


    Corinne smiled and said, “Kind Sir, do me a favor and don’t ever mention that man’s name


    when I’m eating. It just puts me off my food.”


    Jason was a little taken aback. He looked at her with interest dancing in his eyes and smiled. Sure


    thing. Consider it done.”


    She might not have answered his question directly, but her attitude said it all want to have anything to


    do with Jeremy anymore.


    she did not


    Corinne took a sip of the lemon water and found it very refreshing. She proceeded to take a big gulp


    and smacked her lips after that. Then it was time to ask the burning question.


    “Kind Sir, you mentioned at the gallery just now that you might be able to help me look for Nellie


    Nymphaea so just how do you n to do that?”


    Jason poured himself a ss of lemon water and took an unhurried sip before finally answering her, “I


    don’t n to help you look for her.”


    The light in Corinne’s eyes immediately became extinguished. She frowned unhappily and asked, “Are


    you ying me?”


    Jason smiled. “Let me guess, you have half a mind to leave this table when I said I don’t n to help


    you look for her.”


    Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Since I’m already here, I might as well finish the food before leaving


    but next time, don’t ever use this kind of method to trick me into having lunch with you again! I don’t like


    it!”


    Jason looked at her with admiring and probing eyes. “This girl might be quirky but she knows how to


    handle herself. I’m quite surprised she didn’t just get up from the table and leave this ce.


    He liked how she was able to express her dissatisfaction in a way that did not make the other party feel


    sad or ufortable. ‘She has a beautiful soul, alright.’


    Jason decided not to tease her anymore so he said seriously, “Corinne, I didn’t trick you. I can’t help


    you look for Nellie Nymphaea but what I can do is to give you an important clue.”


    Corinne’s eyes immediately lit up again. She stared straight at him and asked, “What is it?”


    “You don’t necessarily have to go through Michel to look for Nellie Nymphaea. It would be better for you


    to look for her through someone else instead.”


    “Well, who is it?” asked Corinne solemnly.


    “Lucas Rivera,” answered Jason with a smile.


    ‘Lucas Rivera? That arrogant prick who has it in for me? Anya’s brother, Lucas?’


    Corinne could not help but frown at the mention of Lucas who she thought had a sisterplex. “Why


    him? What does he have to do with Nellie Nymphaea?”


    At that moment, the waiter came over with their food, interrupting their conversation. After putting down


    all the food on the table, the waiter left them to their meal and walked away.


    Jason ced some food on Corinne’s te before answering, “From what I know, Nellie Nymphaea is


    the pseudonym Lucas’s mother used for her painting. That’s why his ce has a lot of her unpublished


    work. He also has in his possession a few of Nellie Nymphaea’s most famous paintings.”


    A multitude of emotions shed across Corinne’s face. She was so overwhelmed that she identally


    dropped the fork in her hand, causing it to hit the table with a ng. ‘Nellie Nymphaea is the


    pseudonym of Lucas’s mother? That means Lucas is her son?’This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
