Chapter 703


    Lucas felt like the girl before him, the same one he watched growing up, was very unfamiliar. There


    were some things he did not want to dwell on anymore. He took a deep breath and said, “I hope you’re


    not lying to me, Anya.”


    Not probing further, Anya breathed a sigh of relief, but she still felt uneasy. It seemed like her brother


    was very disappointed in her, as if he did not trust her anymore.


    Lucas felt exhausted after all themotion. He no longer looked at his sister and turned to Jeremy


    and Corinne, saving. “Jeremy, you can leave now. Thankfully, Joey is fine. Let’s consider today’s


    incident wrapped up.”


    Jeremy sneered, “Wrapped up? You say it so easily. You’ve treated my wife like a murderer for so long,


    and you now want to let it go


    Lucas frowned. “I just don’t want to pursue it anymore. It doesn’t mean that Corinne ispletely


    innocent! Jeremy, are you not willing to back down at all?”


    A hint of irony appeared in Jeremy’s eyes. “I know what kind of person you are, Lucas someone who


    pays attention to every detail. If you had even a little certainty, you wouldn’t let my wife off so easily! It’s


    obvious that you now realize your judgment was wrong, so you want to settle it peacefully!”


    Lucas’ expression darkened, and his jaw tightened. “What do you want, then?”

    Jeremy gently caressed Corinne’s head as if protecting a child, not budging an inch. “I want you to


    admit your mistake to my wife and apologize to her properly


    Lucas’ eyebrows furrowed, and he nced at Corinne. “Don’t push your luck, Jeremy!”


    He, the esteemed young master of the Riveras, was being asked to admit his mistake and apologize to


    that girl in front of all the household servants? What a joke!


    Jeremy stared at him unforgivingly. “Lucas, if you consider yourself a man, you should. apologize for


    your misjudgment!”


    Lucas’ face turned extremely unpleasant.


    Suddenly, an elderly voice broke the deadlock in the kitchen.


    “Cough! What’s all this noise?”


    Upon hearing the voice of the old man, the Rivera servants all showed reverence, quieting down, and


    even the whispered discussions ceased.


    Before long, an old man leaning on a cane was helped slowly into the kitchen.


    The old man looked at the bustling scene in the kitchen with a puzzled frown. “I just went out. for a


    stroll and came back to find no one in the living room. Why are you all gathered in the kitchen?”


    Corinne recognized him at a nce; he was Lucas’ grandfather.


    He was the blind old man she met before. At that time, the old man was annoyed by a car upying


    the sidewalk and angrily struck it with his cane. The owner of the car happened to return and was about


    to confront the old man.


    Corinne, on the other hand, happened to pass by and helped the old man deal with the unscrupulous


    car owner.


    She remembered that the old man was blind at that time, but it seemed like his eyes were fine. Could


    he finally see?
