Chapter 709


    “Ohe on, I’ve been alive longer than anyone here and have met countless people so don’t you


    think it’ll be easy for me to tell what a person is like with just one nce? Besides, who are you to


    judge her? Have you ever wondered why I never thought of setting you up with her? Well, it’s because


    you’re not worthy of her at all!’


    Lucas’ eyebrow shot up. “How am I not worthy of her?”


    Instead of looking at Lucas in a grandfatherly manner, Cedric revealed a face riddled with disgust. “As


    your grandfather, I know how devious you are despite the gentlemanly image you try to portray! Even if


    I set you up with the best girl in town, you’ll onlye to treat her like she’s a worthless piece of trash


    so it’ll be a grave sin for me to set you up with Corinne.


    Unlike Eddy, who’s a good kid even though he’s ate bloomer and a little too obsessed with his music.


    Corinne will definitely end up happy if they’re together. Such a shame though…. How did a good girl


    like her end up with that son of a b*tch?”


    Lucas simply smiled, though it was one that did not reach his eyes and continued to sip on his tea. He


    was in agreement with Cedric’s opinion of Jeremy but then again it was not like his own grandfather


    had a good opinion of him either. ‘What kind of grandfather would talk about his own grandkid like


    that?’


    However, the mention of Eddy brought back a memory from the past. Lucas remembered the two


    families went way back to the point where they had agreed to an arranged marriage between the two


    grandkids when they were still babies. However, it was not Anya who was promised to Eddy but Luna


    and since she went missing, the two families had no choice but to put the marriage aside.


    Cedric did have the idea of trying to salvage the arranged marriage by offering to rece Luna with


    Anya but anyone and everyone in their circles knew Anya was madly in love with Jeremy since young


    so he crushed the idea in the end.


    Ever since then, Cedric had carried the guilt with him. He felt like he owed the Wildes and now that


    Mitchell was terminally ill and did not have long to live, Cedric made it his mission to find a good girl for


    Eddy so that Mitchell could die in peace.


    ‘Grandpa is known to be picky and he’s never taken a liking to Anya ’cause he thinks she’s not good


    enough… It’s rare to see someone has caught his attention to the point of him wanting to set her up


    with Mitchell’s grandson. Come to think of it, it’s rare to see Jeremy getting all worked up like that too.


    My, it was certainly a sight to behold,’ thought Lucas with a smirk.


    Meanwhile, inside the ck car parked outside of the Riveras’ mansion.


    Jeremy twisted open a bottle of mineral water for Corinne and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you


    regret what you did just now?”


    Corinne raised her eyebrow and epted the mineral water. “Why should I regret anything?”


    Jeremy opened another bottle of mineral water for himself and drank two mouthfuls before answering


    her, “Weren’t you looking forward to go on a date with that Eddy guy? I bet you’re regretting turning
