Chapter 565


    Corinne wanted to ignore them, so she automatically walked past them.


    “Corinne!” Anya called out to her in a gentle voice.


    Corinne stopped in her tracks, turning her face. “Is something up again, Miss Anya?”


    She was mocking her by adding the word “again,” insinuating that she did plenty in the past.


    It also had a tinge of warning implied, telling her she better not create trouble again!


    Anya came to Corinne with a smile as pure as the driven snow, then deliberately asked, Corinne, why


    did you ignore me when you saw me?”


    What was there for them to talk about after Anya framed Corinne yesterday?


    ”


    Corinne pursed her lips. “No, it’s just that I saw you and Mister Lucas’ secretary were having an


    enjoyable conversation, so I didn’t want to interject.”


    “Oh, I see!” Anya’s pure smile got broader. She took a step closer and tip-toed to reach Corinne’s ear


    as Corinne was taller than her. Then, she spoke in a voice so soft that only Corinne could hear,


    “Corinne, you won yesterday! However, don’t be smug yet. The best part is yet toe! Didn’t you like


    to drive a wedge between my brother and me? Let me tell you. something then, that’s what you’re


    incredibly wrong about! My brother loves me the most. Ever since childhood, no matter what mistakes


    I’ve made, he would forgive unconditionally, loving me just the same and tolerating me! An illegitimate


    daughter like you who was never loved by anybody and liked by your family since childhood would


    never understand the happiness I have!”


    She was smiling as she said that, but the words that came out of her mouth were unkind. The


    juxtaposition of the two created an extremely creepy feeling.


    However, Corinne sneered instead of getting angry and said with a faint smile, “Mm-hmm. I can tell that


    Mister Lucas truly loves you very much.”


    Anya put her feet firmly on the ground, raising an eyebrow at Corinne in an arrogant yet sweet manner


    while beaming. “It’s good that you can tell! So don’t waste your effort trying toe at me through my


    brother! It’s useless!”


    Corinne was still smiling. “Aren’t you tired, Miss Anya? You’re acting a fake character and


    image every day. You use your family and friends to create trouble, and you plot against all the women


    who might threaten you, treating everybody as your enemy. Honestly speaking, are you truly happy and


    secure?


    “In my opinion, a secure and fulfilled person probably wouldn’t be like you, who would go to any lengths


    to guard everything you already have. I’m guessing that you’re feeling very anxious and insecure deep


    down. Because you know everything you have now can be shattered at just a slight touch. The love


    and tolerance you were surrounded with what you’ve traded by


    putting on an act and ingratiating yourself. You don’t have the confidence that you can still have this


    status and protection when you let your true colors show and be yourself. Therefore, you are more


    afraid than anybody to lose it all, am I right?”


    Anya’s smile stiffened, unable to say anything for a long time.

    Corinne raised his hand and patted her shoulder with a frivolous yet heavy touch. “Miss Anya, if you


    have time to target me, you might as well do some good deeds to give your child some blessings!”


    Upon saying that, she walked past Anya and returned to her office.


    Anya almost lost herposure. Every single word Corinne said earlier got to her and exposed the


    deep fear she had deep down!
