Chapter 459


    Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm.


    “We didn’t get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It’s an actual marriage in the eyes of thew.


    Lucas, I understand that you’re worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life topensate


    your sister for what she lost for me. However, the only thing I can’t give her is marriage and your so-


    called happiness. I’m sorry.”


    Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and nced at this watch. “I’m done with my lunch. I have a


    meetingter in the afternoon, so I’ll first be taking my leave.”


    He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for


    argument.


    Seeing how unwaveringly cold he was, Lucas could not hold himself back anymore. He stood up


    angrily and said, “Jeremy! Do you even have a conscience?”


    At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and her


    brother was angry, but she had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, ” What’s the


    matter? Where are you going, Jeremy? I’ve brought the cake. Let’s try it together!”


    “No need. I have something to take care of.” Jeremy waved calmly before putting his hand in his


    pocket. He walked past Anya without any expression on his face and left with big strides.


    “Jeremy!” Anya called out, feeling reluctant to see him leave. However, Jeremy did not look back or


    stop in his tracks at all because of that.


    In the end, she could only watch his back with great disappointment as he walked out of the restaurant.


    Then, she angrily turned her face and looked at her brother with some resentment in her eyes. “Lucas,


    what exactly did you say to Jeremy? Why did he leave?”


    Lucas stopped frowning and suppressed the anger he felt toward Jeremy. Because he was worried he


    would scare his sister, he calmed down as soon as possible and said gently, “It’s nothing. Jeremy left


    because he has an urgent matter to attend to at hispany. Anya,e and have a seat. Try the


    cake with me!”


    How could he have the heart to tell his sister that the man she loved deeply was not willing to marry her


    at all?


    After the man she loved left, Anya became dispirited. She sat down looking dejected. Even her favorite


    cake tasted like nothing in her mouth.


    Suddenly, she recalled something important. She turned to look at her brother and asked while


    pretending to be casual about it, “Oh yes, Lucas! Why was Corinne in your office today? She was even


    hiding behind your bookshelf. She looked like she was up to something fishy no matter how I saw it! I


    saw that she didn’t want to be found, so I just pretended that there was a cat there!”


    Lucas did not n to hide the matter about Corinne from his sister. While having his food, he said


    calmly, “She came to mypany to apply to be my secretary today.”


    Anya was taken aback. Her doe-like eyes widened because of how surprised she was. “What? Corinne


    applied to be your secretary. Did you hire her?”


    Just as Lucas was about to answer her, his phone rang. It was Edmund who called.


    Looking at the caller ID, Lucas squinted knowingly. He guessed that the client from Aburapletely


    rejected the coboration and boarded the ne home.


    Abura was a country with the most mineral resources. Losing such a major coboration would not


    bring any harm to thepany, but it was more or less still a pity.

    Lucas frowned and answered the call. Before he even had the time to say hello, Edmund could not


    hold back his excitement and said, “It’s done, sir! Corinne and the client from Abura have reached a


    deal. They will go to thepany tomorrow morning to sign the contract for coborating with you for


    the next ten years!”
