Chapter 812


    However, Anya did not give up.


    “I promise it won’t take long. I just want to ask Corinne a few questions. Lucas won’t know if we don’t


    tell him! And even if he did know, he won’t me you.”


    Edmund was unmoved. “Sorry, Miss Anya, but I can’t go against Mister Lucas’ order. You should also


    go take care of Joey like he asked you to.”


    ‘He’s only a lowly employee. In fact, he’s nothing but Lucas’ b*tch! How dare he stop me from doing


    what I want?’ thought Anya angrily.


    Anya was already in a bad mood from having her previous n foiled, so she lost all patience in


    dealing with Edmund. She red vehemently at him and hissed, “p*ss off, Edmund! I’m going in, no


    matter what!”


    Edmund was shocked. He had always thought Anya to be sweet and caring, and this was the first time


    he had seen this side of her. It stood to reason he found the whole thing hard to believe.


    At that moment, Corinne opened the door and stepped out. Seeing this, Anya faked a grin. “Oh hey,


    Corinne! You’re opening the door to let me in, right? Can you believe Edmund wouldn’t let me in just


    now?”


    Corinne threw a bored nce at Anya before turning to look at Edmund indifferently. “Mister Edmund,”


    she called him respectfully.


    Edmund continued to block Anya from going in. He turned his head back slightly and asked, ‘ Yes, Miss


    Corinne?”


    Corinne yawnedzily. “I’m a little thirsty.”


    “Please wait a moment. I’ll have the servant bring you some water immediately,” said


    Edmund respectfully.

    Corinne nodded. “Make it warm water, please. And put in a slice of lemon, too.”


    “Yes, Miss Corinne. Someone will be in to clean up the broken ss soon, so please make sure you


    stay away from them in the meantime.”


    “Got it,” replied Corinne. She thennguidly closed the door after stepping back into the room.


    Seeing this, Anya’s eyes widened in anger while she tried to squeeze past Edmund. “Corinne-!


    s, she did not manage to get past Edmund. Her words were cut short by a crisp thud of the closing


    door, which left her irked.


    ‘What the heck? Isn’t this my home? And doesn’t Edmund work for my family? Why is he stopping me


    from going into that room? What’s more, not only did that shameless b*tch steal Jeremy away from me,


    but she’s now trying to take over my home too?!’ she thought while clenching her fists.


    Edmund stayed where he was and called Benson, asking him to arrange for the servants to clean up


    the broken sses and fetch Corinne a ss of warm lemon water.


    Anya was not having any of this. She would not allow Corinne to restfortably in Luna’s room if it


    was thest thing she did.


    “Edmund, let me go in. Poor thing must be bored sitting in the room all alone.”


    Edmund shook his head. “Miss Anya, you saw how it was too. Miss Corinne doesn’t need anypany


    right now. Please just let her rest.”


    Anya frowned unhappily. “Edmund, why do you only listen to Corinne and not me?”


    “That’s because Mister Lucas said she’s Mister Cedric’s savior, so we should treat her with the utmost


    respect and hospitality.”


    “Huh! Fine, take her side then. Mark my words, I’m going to get Lucas to fire you one day for this


    insubordination.”


    Anya could not hold back her anger anymore. She threw onest angry look at Edmund before striding


    away in a huff.
