Chapter 865


    Phoebe and Anya were shocked by Sunny yelling at them.


    Maxwell simply got up calmly and picked up his jacket that hung from the back of the chair. Get well


    soon, Sunny. Press the call button if you need anything, and a nurse wille for you.


    He then walked toward the door, and on his way there, he said to Phoebe, “You should let your son rest


    if you want him to get better.”


    He was out of the door by the time he said thest word.


    Phoebe frowned. With Anya having lost Lucas’ trust, Sunny was Phoebe’s only hope to stay in the


    family. Thus, she dared not provoke Sunny anymore, and she quickly dragged Anya out with her.


    Maxwell was nowhere to be found once the two of them got out of the room. Instead, they saw the


    bodyguards Lucas arranged to stand guard by Sunny’s door.


    A wave of exhaustion washed over Anya as she finally calmed down. She slumped down on the chair


    and said anxiously, “What should we do now? Even Lucas doesn’t believe me anymore! And I’m pretty


    sure Jeremy won’t want to see me again…not after he found out I wasn’t the girl who saved him.”


    Phoebe did not know what to do either; her mind was all over the ce. “That Corinne had certainly


    bested us…”

    “I’m lost too, Anya. It’ll be awkward for the two of us from now on. Your grandparents had never liked


    me… Think of how they’ll punish me once they find out about the pomegranate juice.”


    “Is that the only thing we can do? Wait for them to punish us? No! I’ve always done whatever you


    wanted me to do ever since you married into the Rivera family. I worked hard to build up my image of a


    good girl and impersonated Luna to make Grandpa and Grandma like me… I’m not going to let what


    happened today derail all of the sess I had gotten. More importantly, I’m not going to let Corinne


    steal Jeremy away from me… Ten years! Ten years I spent trying to get Jeremy to love me…”


    Phoebe sided entirely with Anya. “Don’t act rashly. Think, Anya! Does Corinne have any weakness we


    can use against her?”


    After thinking it over, Anya shook her head. “That b*tch doesn’t seem to have any weakness. She


    doesn’t have any friends or family we can threaten. Having grown up wild in the countryside means she


    can do whatever she wants without worrying her actions will bring harm to others. That’s why she was


    able to escape the trap I set up for her and turn it all on me repeatedly.”


    The wheels in Phoebe’s mind started to turn. “She grew up in the countryside, eh? Do you know where


    exactly?”


    Anya shook her head. “No, but it shouldn’t be hard to find out. We can send someone to look into the


    matter. Why do you want to know, though?”


    “It stands to reason we can’t find any weakness of hers in New Capital City since she didn’t


    grow up here…but what if we look into where she used to live? I mean, everyone has some kind of


    past they wish to hide. And even if she doesn’t, we can just make something up,” Phoebe replied


    thoughtfully.


    Anya’s reddened eyes immediately lit up. “Are you saying…”


    Phoebe nodded. “Anya, we may not be able to turn things around with the Riveras, but what if we


    change our tactics? Since we couldn’t overthrow Corinne’s argument today based on how logical it


    sounded, we can get the people in her past to doubt her and use her of being a liar. This would


    indirectly invalidate all of the things she said today!”


    Anya began to fill with renewed hope. “What a great idea! We should get our men to carry out the n


    right away! Oooh, Corinne. Just wait! I’m going to make you pay if it’s thest thing I do! And this time,


    I’m going to make sure you won’t ever be able toe back from it!”
