Chapter 613


    Sunny would never admit to himself or anyone else that he did not know how to y chess.


    Corinne followed Edmund into Lucas’ study. As soon as she entered, she realized Anya and Rosie


    were also there.


    Anya was crying in her wheelchair while Rosie kept passing tissues andforting her. Noticing that


    Corinne hade in, Rosie immediately red at her vehemently.


    Corinne paid no mind to them. Instead, she looked at Lucas, who leaned casually but authoritatively


    against the sofa, sipping a cup of piping hot coffee.


    She walked up to him and asked, “You were looking for me, Mister Lucas?”


    Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Did you push Anya down the stairs?”


    “No,” Corinne answered without hesitation.


    Lucas’ eyes turned cold. “Why did you tear down Anya earlier?”


    “I was just telling the truth,” said Corinne calmly.


    Lucas scoffed. “Why did Grandpa take you in as his honorary granddaughter? What’s that all about?”


    “I refused when he asked, but he insisted, so I was left with no choice but to ept his kind gesture.”


    Lucas scoffed again. “You make it sound like you were forced into it.”


    Corinne nodded. “Kinda.”


    Lucas’s eyes turned ice cold.


    Previously, Lucas would sometimes admire Corinne’s working capability. There were rare asions


    when he would feel affectionate toward her, though he still did not know why. He did not think she was


    one of those scheming women.


    However, after seeing her climb her way slowly into the Lovces’ heart, he found it harder and harder


    to believe she had no ulterior motive at all.


    Lucas stood up and threw the hot cup of coffee on Corinne’s face.


    “Miss Carew, go somewhere else if you’re thinking of worming yourself into some wealthy family’s


    heart. I trust it won’t be hard for you to do that with your ability and all. However, you’ve chosen the


    wrong family. to do that, and as long as I’m here, I won’t let you have your way.”


    What Lucas did caught Corinne off guard. She instinctively closed her eyes to prevent the coffee from


    getting into her eyes. She waited until the hot coffee had dripped down from her chin and unto the


    ground. before slowly opening her eyes.


    “Mister Lucas, thank you for recognizing my talent, but I had no n on doing what you’re using me


    of doing.”


    Lucas looked coldly at her. “You know best what you have in mind. There’s no use arguing with me. We


    don’t wee you here. You may leave now.”


    Corinne would have fought him then and there if it was not for not wanting to ruin Edgar’s birthday


    party. Not wanting to waste her time arguing, she simply took a deep breath and turned around.


    “Wait!” Lucas called after her.


    Suppressing her impatience, Corinne asked, “Is there anything else?”


    “You don’t have toe to work tomorrow. Your position has been officially terminated from Rivera


    Group,” said Lucas monotonously.


    Both Rosie and Anya smiled victoriously when they heard that. ‘We’ve won!’


    Corinne did not say anything. She simply chuckled and left the room calmly.


    ‘I have no need of a brother who cannot tell a fake person from a real person!” she thought.


    The coffee dripped everywhere as she walked out of the room. It was a really pitiful sight. ‘I shouldn’t


    go back to study to y chess with Grandma… I might scare her like this, and then things would get


    worse… It’s best if I leave ande back another day to visit her.’


    She deliberately chose a route with no people to leave the mansion because she did not want to attract


    any attention. However, it just so happened Jeremy used the same route too.N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.
