Chapter 736


    Corinne looked at him cordially. “Do you still remember when I used to work in Rivera Group for a few


    days before you fired me?”


    At the mention of that, Lucas became filled with shame and he quickly said, “You cane back to


    work for Rivera Group if you want. I’ll give you any position you want and you can start at any date of


    your choosing.”


    “Oh, you’re mistaken, Mister Lucas. What I meant to tell you is I hope you can pay me the sry you


    owed for those few days ‘cause I don’t like working for free,” said Corinne with a smile.

    Lucas did a double take and looked at her with mixed feelings. ‘So it’s not about the money


    after all. She just wants to make it clear that we have nothing to do with each other. In other words, she


    doesn’t want to ept me as her brother!‘


    Corinne raised her eyebrow. “What’s the matter? You don’t want to give me the money?” Lucas


    snapped out of his shock. “No, that’s not it. I’m willing to give you whatever amount you want.”


    He then took out his wallet from his pocket and signed a check for her.


    Seeing this, Corinne mockingly said, “Are you trying to buy me off with a check again?” Lucas paused


    in his movement as he suddenly recalled the times he bought Corinne off with a check. Once again, he


    became filled with guilt and shame. He quickly put away the cheque and said, “I can wire you the


    money if you don’t like getting cheques from me.”


    “I’ll take cash, thanks. You don’t need to go through all the trouble of writing a check or wiring me the


    money since the amount from working those few days isn’t that big.”


    After a few seconds of silence, Lucas said, “I don’t have a lot of cash on me right now but I’ll ask


    Edmund to deliver it to youter.”


    Corinne raised her eyebrow. “How much do you have right now?”


    Lucas showed her the money he had in his wallet. “Around 275 dors.”


    “That’s more than enough.” Corinne stood up, walked over to Lucas, took his wallet off him, and


    counted 200 dors. “ording to the marketbor rate, 200 dors would be more than the fair


    amount for the few days I’d worked but since I’d cinched a deal for thepany, we’ll just count the


    remainder as a little bonus for me. Is that okay with you?”


    That amount of money was chump change for Lucas. Besides, money was not the important thing right


    now. He fixed his gaze at Corinne, hoping against all hope that she would change her mind. “Luna…”


    “Don’t call me that. My name is Corinne Carew,” interrupted Corinne. She did not like to be called by


    her old name.


    Lucas had no choice but to follow her wishes “Corinne, I know it’ll take some time for you to ept me


    as your brother and to forgive all the things I did to you in the past so I’ll try my best to give you some


    time to think about it. However, I hope you can remember toe to me if your inws or Jeremy ever


    make trouble for you I promise to protect you from now on.


    Corinne smiled. “That won’t be necessary, Mister Lucas. Unlike Miss Anya, I can protect myself. Plus,


    no one in their right mind would dare to mess with me anyways.”


    There were so many things Lucas wanted to say to her but he did not know where to begin so he


    simply looked at her with a forlorn expression and with tired, bloodshot eyes.


    At that moment, Bowen took a step forward and said politely, “Mister Lucas, our Ma’am would like to


    rest now. Please allow me to escort you out.”


    Lucas sighed heavily. He then threw a nce at Bowen before turning around to leave.


    Aftering out of the Holdens‘ mansion, Lucas saw his car was still parked at the gate. ‘Why is


    Edmund still here?‘
