Chapter 704
“Grandpa, you’re back!” Anya immediately ran up to her grandfather upon seeing him returning, wiping
away her tears in an aggrieved manner.
Cedric Rivera nced at his granddaughter, whose eyebrows were furrowed and had reddened eyes.
“What’s the matter? How did you end up crying again? You’re such a child, alwaysining about
this and that, or crying, endlessly over trivial matters! Your grandmother and 1, at our age, have never
been as difficult to please as you!”
“…” Anya trailed off.
She had hoped to receivefort and support from her grandfather, but instead, she was met with a
lecture full of disdain. Anya felt embarrassed and could not find a way to respond.
Although she had been pampered at home since childhood, with her parents, older brother, and
younger brother treating her like a precious gem, her position as a granddaughter to her grandparents
was slightly inferior to that of her older brother Lucas and younger brother Sunny. She always felt that
her grandparents favored boys over girls.
“Grandpa, I didn’t cry on purpose. It’s because someone came to our house and caused trouble
today…”
“Grandpa, it was just a small incident that’s been resolved. You don’t need to worry,” Lucas. walked
over, forcefully interrupting Anya’s attempt to express her grievances to their grandfather. He gave
Anya a stern gaze and addressed Cedric, “Grandpa, you’ve had a long day. Let them assist you in
going upstairs to rest.”
Cedric did not like the sight of this talented eldest grandson either and snorted. “I think this girl is
spoiled by you, my boy! She’s be so fragile, crying over every little thing. She could. break from a
gust of wind!”
His words made Lucas’ brow furrow, and he started to reflect on whether he had truly spoiled his sister
all these years….
Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the kitchen and not wanting to delve deeper, Cedric gestured
for his attendants to assist him and prepared to go upstairs to rest.
As Cedric turned to leave, the people in the kitchen dispersed.
Corinne yawned wearily. “Mister, it’s gettingte. Let’s go home and sleep.”
The man looked down at her, his heart aching as he furrowed his brow. “Is that it?”
Knowing that the man was referring to being wrongly used of murder by the Riveras,
Corinne shrugged indifferently. “Well, forget it. We can’t wake someone who’s pretending to be clueless
anyway.”
Corinne was referring to none other than Lucas.
As a shrewd and quick-witted CEO, he feigned ignorance, even though he knew very well that the
situation might very well be his sister’s fault. He wanted to downy the seriousness of the matter to
protect her.
Lucas, who was escorting his grandfather out of the kitchen, suddenly stopped and turned back,
narrowing his eyes as he looked at Jeremy and Corinne.
How could he not hear the sarcasm in Corinne’s words? Lucas’ mood worsened, and a trace of
displeasure flickered in his eyes. However, since his grandfather had not gone far yet, he could not
express his true feelings.
Meanwhile, Anya, who was still in the kitchen, stared at Jeremy and Corinne. She watched as her
beloved man spoke softly and kindly to another woman, and her heart burned with jealousy, corroding
and bubbling like sulfuric acid
All her carefully nned actions today had gone to waste
N?velDrama.Org owns this.
Why should Corinne always be able to turn danger into safety? D*mn it!
While Corinne no longer wanted to dwell on it, Jeremy did not n to let the matter rest. The Riveras
had wrongly used her and bullied her, and this was not the first nor the second time! They needed
to be taught a lesson, or they would not understand the severity of the situation! :
However, Jeremy did not intend to waste any more time in the Riveras’ residence. His priority was to
take the exhausted Corinne home. They could deal with the Riveraster.
Jeremy followed her lead and said, “Alright, let’s go home.”
