Chapter 730


    Francine red hatefully at Corinne. Then she turned to Anya and said, “Let’s go, Anya. We’ll deal with


    this crazy womanter. It’s more important for you to change into something, clean right now. Follow


    me to my room.”


    Anya nodded and followed Francine up the stairs. Midway through, she turned around to re


    sinisterly at Corinne. Her message was clear, there would be h’ll for Corier.


    Corinne smiled back at her for two seconds before summoning, the maids toe clean up the


    floor.


    Bowen happened to see the tail end of what happened just now when he came out of the kitchen. He


    sighed helplessly, walked up to Corinne, and asked concernedly, “Ma’am, why don’t I ask the kitchen to


    make you a sandwich? That shouldst you until lunch.”


    Corinne was indeed hungry. She nodded and said, “Okay. It doesn’t have to be anythingplicated.


    Actually, an egg sd sandwich would do.”


    “As you wish, Ma’am.”


    Bowen was about to go to the kitchen when a servant came running in. “Mister Bowen, Mister Lucas


    has dropped by to visit Ma’am.”

    “Are you talking about Mister Lucas from the Rivera family?” asked Bowen with shock.


    “Yes, that’s exactly who I’m talking about,” said the servant with a nod.


    Bowen found this odd since the two families rarely dropped by for a visit on ount of the bad blood


    between them. Anya was the exception of course since she was so smitten with Jeremy. Lucas


    dropping by was in itself already very odd but then to say he hade to visit Corinne? “Ma’am, Mister


    Lucas hase by to visit you. Should I let him in?” asked Bowen worriedly. “Yes. That would be


    perfectly alright,” Corinne said with a nod.


    “Yes, Ma’am.” Bowen gestured for the servant to escort Lucas into the living room.


    Not long after, Lucas was brought into the dining room. Corinne, who was seated at the dining table,


    smiled faintly at him. “Well, it didn’t take you long toe here at all.”


    Lucas came alone. He stood at the threshold with his back ram-rod straight. However, there was none


    of the usual confidence in his eyes. In fact, those eyes of his seemed to be clouded by a multitude of


    emotions. “I happened to be around the neighborhood when I called you.”


    “Oh, I see.” Corinne nodded and smiled. “I hope you don’t mind if we talk in the dining room since the


    living room is being cleaned up right now.”


    Lucas looked deeply at her with eyes filled with guilt before nodding and saying, “Yes, that’s perfectly


    okay. I don’t mind talking here.”


    “Great! Please have a seat then, Mister Lucas.” Out of politeness, Corinnezily gestured for Lucas to


    take a seat. “To be honest, I thought you’re going to make a fuss about talking in a room filled with the


    smell of food.”


    A servant immediately pulled out the chair opposite Corinne. Lucas said nothing as he slowly walked


    over and sat down. Before the two of them could say anything, the maid brought out a te of


    sandwich from the kitchen and ced it in front of Corinne.
