Chapter 550


    Corinne raised her eyebrow and smiled. “And so, what did you order for me? Howe I never saw


    any of that on the table just now?”


    “I didn’t order anything ’cause the waiter said we’ve already ordered too much. It won’t be good to


    waste food. So, I decided to take his advice and not order anything in the end.”


    “So what you’re saying is you’ve talked to the waiter for five minutes and came away not ordering


    anything? Mister Lucas, do you have anything to say about that?”


    Amongst all the otherplicated emotions, one stood out above the rest and that was the


    disappointment in Lucas’s eyes. He did not answer Corinne. Instead, he sternly asked Anya. another


    question, “Anya, what did you give the waiter just now?!”


    Anya looked tearfully at Lucas. “I was just giving him some tips. Is that so wrong?”


    Lucas frowned. “Just some tips?”


    Anya nodded innocently. “Yes! I thought I should give him some tip because he spent all that time


    patiently rmending food for me but I didn’t order anything in the end.”


    Corinne smirked. “Didn’t you say that the waiter advised you against ordering more food since we’ve


    already ordered so much? And now you’re saying he spent all that time rmending what to order?


    Besides, it’s normal to give tips so why do you act like you’re doing something illegal?”


    Anya knew every word of Corinne’s was aimed to unravel her lies so she ignored her and focused all of


    her theatrics on her brother. “Lucas, you know I have a habit of giving the wait staff tips, right? I did it


    secretly because I wanted to make sure his colleague didn’t see it; that way he can have the tip all to


    himself.”


    Lucas narrowed his eyes and looked at Anya’s innocent face. He could not do it. He could never think


    of his precious little sister as a scheming, maniptive b*tch.


    “Hmph! Mister Lucas, if you believe her half-*ss exnation then I have nothing else to say. You might


    as well call the police now,” said Corinne.


    Lucas frowned and then turned around to look at the dazed and panicking Oliver.


    “You. Tell me what did the two of you talk about and what did she stuff into your hand!”

    Oliver was about to repeat what Anya told him when Corinne cocked her head, smiled, and said,


    “Oliver, might I remind you that this is yourst chance, to tell the truth. Mister Lucas here will call the


    police if you dare to trick or lie to us again. He won’t stop until he gets to the bottom of the truth of who


    hurt his nephew.”


    Oliver’s heart started pounding in his chest. He never expected things would be soplicated


    and was frightened by then. ‘I shouldn’t have been blinded by all that money. How am I going to get


    myself out of this?’


    The pressure from both sides caused him to hesitate. However, thinking he would get leniency if he


    came out with the truth, he finally decided toe clean. “Miss Anya called me over because-”


    Lucas’ face tensed up. “Because of what?”


    Here, Oliver nervously stole a nce at Anya and saw her ring at him as if warning him not to say


    anything that would put them both in trouble.


    ‘What should I do? She’s got something over me!’ thought Oliver.


    Previously, Anya came to this very restaurant with her friends and witnessed him stealing at customer’s


    phone and putting it in his pocket. The security camera did not pick up anything because it happened in


    one of its blindspots but Anya recorded the whole thing on her phone.


    This incident, coupled with the temptation of money, gave him the impetus to work together with Anya


    to frame Corinne. At first, he refused because he did not want to hurt an innocent child but Anya


    threatened to report him to thedy owner with the video as evidence, which he knew would result in


    him losing the job.
