Chapter 972


    Jeremy’s eyes darkened. “Corinne doesn’t want to ept you as her brother. Even if she does, I’ll


    never allow her to do that!”


    Lucas frowned. “Why? Is it because you’re afraid the bad blood between our families will affect your


    rtionship with Corinne?”


    “Nothing can ever affect my rtionship with Corinne. But, if she epts your family as hers, it’ll make


    her position awkward in my family. I can protect her when I’m with her, but it’s not like I can bring her


    along wherever I go.


    “Plus, I know her; she won’t like for me to do that too. Given how hard her life was when she was


    young, I think it’s best if we don’t add any more trouble for her. It’s not wrong to keep the status quo


    too, you know.”


    After mulling over it, Lucas concluded that what Jeremy said was reasonable. “I’m all for keeping the


    status quo for now, but I won’t stand by and do nothing if you hurt you.”


    Jeremy drank a mouthful of the soda before saying confidently, “That’ll never happen.”


    After a while, Edmund arrived at the apartment with the private nurse.


    Corinne ryed the doctor’s orders to Edmund before leaving with Jeremy.


    At first, Edmund was a little surprised to find Jeremy in Lucas’ apartment but less so after discovering


    Corinne was there too.


    ‘This apartment holds a special meaning to Mister Lucas,’ he thought. ‘He rarely allows anyone to


    come here. Even Miss Anya hasn’t been here before. Miss Corinne, however, is his long-lost sister and


    the person he cares about the most. It’s not surprising he’d allow her toe here.’


    “Mister Lucas, how did you hurt your foot? Has the driver been caught yet? Should I ask someone to


    look into it,” Edmund asked.


    “Jeremy will take care of that. Edmund, did you or the rest of the patrol teame across anyone


    suspicious when patrolling around the Holdens’ mansion in thest few days?” replied Lucas.


    Edmund shook his head. “None so far.”


    Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Continue with the patrol, and remind them to be vignt.”


    “Yes, Mister Lucas!”

    …


    Three dayster, Corinne held a press conference at Central Park. Before that, Aaron was tasked with


    inviting all the major media yers at home and abroad as exam invigtors. The press conference


    was scheduled for eight o’clock in the morning, but the park was already jam-packed with reporters and


    camera persons a little past seven o’clock.


    Corinne was just a nobody to them. Before the scandal broke out, there was no information about her


    at all. The only people who knew her were limited to her lecturers and ex-ssmates at University of


    New Capital City.


    Thus, the only reason why the major media yers would be interested in her was because there was


    a rumor going around online that she was Jeremy Holden’s wife. The Holden Group was the richest


    and more powerfulpany in the country, so any news about it would definitely attract attention.


    This morning, Jeremy drove to hispany after dropping Corinne off at Central Park. Aaron and


    Xante’s car was parked nearby, and Corinne went to look for them before the reporters found out she


    was there already.


    It was not even half past seven when she got into their car, and she had no ns of getting out of the


    car until the press conference began. She knew she would be hounded by the reporters to get an


    exclusive interview should she get out before then.
