Chapter 948


    “I highly doubt the ims made against Corinne online. Besides, why would she orchestrate something


    like that against me? I’m just an old man! Lucas gave her a check as a token of thanks for saving my


    life, but she never thought of epting it!”


    Beatrice nodded to what her husband said. She had a good impression of Corinne from the first time


    they met, though that was probably inrge part due to Corinne’s simrity to their missing


    granddaughter, Luna.


    In conclusion, neither of them believed Corinne to be the sort of evil person with bad intentions.


    Phoebe frowned and shook her head after hearing Cedric’s defense of Corinne. “The two of you are


    being too naive! She obviously wouldn’t take the money that Lucas offered her if she was motivated by


    something else!”


    Cedric frowned, obviously a little wary of his stepdaughter-inw’s ims. “Tell me, then. What would a


    young girl like her be motivated by?”


    Phoebe sighed and said, “The two of you might not have gone to the hospital when Sunny was


    hospitalized, but I’m sure you would’ve heard about what happened there. Corinne imed that she


    was the one who saved Jeremy, not Anya! Jeremy even believed Corinne, and he now thinks Anya lied


    to him throughout the years.”

    Cedric and Beatrice looked at each other.


    The old man frowned and said, “We know what happened, but didn’t Anya lie about her infertility so


    that Jeremy boy will take responsibility for her for the rest of her life? This is Anya’s fault entirely. It’s an


    utter embarrassment to our family that she ckmailed him emotionally for so many years.


    “In any case, we’ve never supported her proposed marriage to Jeremy, yet she stubbornly refused to


    listen to us. As her mother, you went so far as to allow her to continue entertaining that idea despite


    knowing that our family isn’t on good terms with the Holdens. You didn’t even make an effort to control


    her. Why are you ming all that on Corinne?”


    Cedric might be old, but his mind was still sharp.


    Phoebe’s expression became a little distorted when Cedric pointed out the cold, hard facts. She forced


    a smile and said, “This isn’t about whether or not I can control her. It’s futile to try and control


    something that involves one’s feelings!


    “Lucas has spoiled her since she was young. He gives in to all her requests. Now that she’s all grown


    up and falls in love with a man, she shows the same stubbornness and is willing to do whatever it takes


    to be his woman!


    “As much as I want to control her, I can’t just force her to do as I say! But that being said, Anya did


    save Jeremy, and she had been infertile for the past few years after saving him and being poisoned in


    the process.


    “So many years have passed since then, and her body had recovered without her knowing! You’ve


    both seen her grow up, so you should know her character by now. She may be stubborn in her desire


    to marry Jeremy, but she will never twist the facts!


    “Corinne, on the other hand, took Anya’s credit for what happened and convinced everyone that Anya


    had been lying. Isn’t that worse?”
