Chapter 645
Lucas stared fixedly at Corinne for a while before finally, politely but coldly, saying, “Miss Corinne, what
you said only applies to kids of regr folks and not for kids born into the Rivera family. Those that
carry. the Rivera name, like Sunny himself, are tasked with a great burden on their shoulder. Thus, he
can’t just do whatever he wants. Do you understand now?”
What Corinne hated the most was the way Lucas thought he was better than everybody else just
because he was lucky enough to be born into a wealthy and prominent family. “We’re all humans on
this earth. No one is better than anybody else! You say he’s tasked with a great burden on his shoulder
but have you ever asked if he wanted that?
No matter how self-righteous you made the whole thing sound, it still doesn’t make it right for you to
impose your wishes on another person! I used to think life would be better for me if I was born into a
wealthy family. Then I could do whatever I wish to do without ever having to worry about making ends
meet. Well, you’ve certainly proved me wrong. I would rather live a life of poverty if it meant I get to
choose what I want to do with my life!”
Lucas’s eyes turned ice cold while his face flickered with displeasure. “Are you done talking? If you are,
then I highly suggest you leave this room this instant.”
Corinne was not done. She smirked and asked, “Mister Lucas if you think your disciplinary method is
so great, why does it seem you’re not happy with the way Sunny has turned out? Have you ever asked
yourself that question?
“You should since you’re the one who single-handedly raised him to be who he is. When you
berate him for how he turned out, it’s equivalent to you berating yourself for failing to bring him up
properly. Don’t you see just how fallible you are too? So how can you ask Sunny to be perfect?”
Lucas frowned. She managed to hit a sore spot of his. His face darkened and his lips were drawn into a
tight line.
“I can tell Sunny is afraid of you. While fear might make him do what you want him to do, it’ll never be
able to extinguish the dreams he holds dear in his heart. One day, when he’s all grown up, you’lle
to realize that he wants to have nothing to do with you nor does he want to live the way you want him to
live anymore. By then, it’ll be toote for you to see that the worst way to discipline someone is to
mentally beat them into submission.”
Lucas red coldly at her. After a long while of silence, he suddenly smiled in a way that did not reach.
his eyes. “Well said. I’ve certainly learned something new today. However, might I remind you to mind
your own business? An outsider like you shouldn’t butt your nose in my family’s business.”
Corinne shrugged. “You’re right. It is none of my business but I’ve already said what I said and since
you’re here now, I can leave Mister Sunny to you. There’s an urgent matter I need to attend to so
forgive me for making a move first.”

-She did not wait for either Lucas or Sunny to say anything and simply turned to leave the room.
However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and turned around. “By the way, Mister Lucas. Please
remember topensate the hospital for the ss door Mister Sunny broke today.”
Both Lucas and Sunny were speechless. Under their watchful gaze, Corinne turned back around,
pushed open the door, and walked out of the ward at a leisurely pace. Sunny watched as the door
closed with a click; the shock in his heart lingered on.
Everything Corinne said shook him to the very core. ‘Bravo Corinne! Has she always had this side to
her? Ugh, I shouldn’t have bullled her because of Anya.’
“How did you end up with her in the hospital? Didn’t I say to stay away from her?” Lucas questioned
him sternly, effectively pulling him away from his thoughts of gratitude toward Corinne.
