Chapter 849


    Lucas sighed and stared at Corinne who stood opposite him. He then said in a helpless tone, Enough


    is enough, Corinne. You don’t need to bring any of that up anymore.”


    Corinne nced at Lucas and chuckled. “Back to loving your good little sister again, are you?” Lucas


    was speechless. It was for him to be caught between his two younger sisters.


    Phoebe feigned distress about Anya’s situation and came forward to defend her daughter. “I admit I did


    something bad to you today, but my daughter had no part to y in it! You can’t insult my daughter like


    that! It’s bad enough that she is infertile from a young age. Why do you have to make those remarks to


    provoke her?”


    Corinne looked at Phoebe and said, “You’re right! Your daughter is such a pitiful, miserable woman!


    Why did you give her so much saffron, then? Did I provoke her more, or did you?”


    Phoebe’s face froze, and she was speechless for a while.


    Anya looked away from Lucas and said with tears streaming down her face, “Corinne, I know that you


    might be holding a grudge against my mother because she tried to hurt you today, but she only did it in


    a moment of confusion. She won’t do that ever again! You can vent all your unhappiness on me instead


    of her! If you’re still not satisfied, I can kneel and admit my mistake to you!”


    She then made a motion of kneeling after saying that.


    Corinne immediately grabbed Anya just as she was about to kneel. She smiled and said, ” Don’t! You


    don’t have to do that! I was just teasing you! Look at how riled up you are because of the things I said.


    You were going to cry and kneel!”


    Anya’s expression froze, but her heart was raging furiously and her expression became unnaturally


    distorted.


    Corinne then let go of Anya’s hand and smiled at her. “Sorry about that, Miss Anya. I know that


    everything I said to you was a bit overboard, but that’s because I want to give you a surprise! I thought


    it’d be good if I make you feel down for a bit before raising your spirits againter!”


    Anya snapped back to her senses. “A surprise?”


    Corinne smiled mysteriously and nodded. “Yup! It’s a huge one, too!”


    Anya frowned defensively. “What surprise could that be?”


    Corinne smirked and cocked an eyebrow. “Why don’t you take a guess?”


    Anya’s innocent gaze was tinged with displeasure, and she felt that Corinne was trying to y tricks on


    her again. However, she decided to y along and said ignorantly, “I can’t guess, Corinne…”


    Everyone else more or less had a frown on their faces, and they objected to Corinne’s way ying


    tricks. Sunny was more upfront than the others there, and he urged Corinne impatiently even though he


    was lying on the hospital bed. “Stop keeping us in suspense, Corinne! Tell us what the surprise is!


    You’re making me anxious!”

    Corinne looked at Sunny in disgust and snorted softly, “Not even being bedridden can stop you from


    being your usual self!”


    Sunny red arrogantly at her. “What are you going to do about it, huh?”


    Corinne ignored Sunny and turned to look at Anya. She smiled and said, “Then I won’t keep you


    waiting any longer. Ta-da! This is the surprise!” She then took out from her pocket a crumpled piece of


    paper that had been folded into squares.
