Chapter 996


    Anya said firmly, "This is the only logical exnation. I can find no other reason why Lucas would


    care so much about her! And don''t you think Dad looks at Corinne differently now? Didn''t you notice


    something unusual about his tone whenever he spoke to her?"


    Phoebe felt a wave of fear when she recalled Maxwell''s reaction uponying eyes on Corinne. "If


    that''s true, it''s all the more reason to kill Corinne!"


    A ruthless expression appeared briefly in Anya''s eyes. "That''s for sure, but we can''t be the ones to


    do it."


    "Then who''s going to help us?"


    "I''ve arranged for someone to deal with Corinne. Let''s just wait and see what happens."


    Phoebe nced curiously at Anya. "Who is it?"


    Anya said, "You''ll find out if she seeds."


    Phoebe believed her daughter would not assign such an important task to an unreliable person.


    She did not ask any further and merely said, "Okay, Anya. Let''s eat. Tell your adopted son to eat


    something too. He ignores me when I talk to him, and he refuses to eat even if I feed him. He''s such


    a pain to take care of!"


    Anya had a look of disgust. "Leave him be, then. I''ll have one less thing to worry about if he starves


    to death!"


    Back at the Riveras, Corinne told Cedric and Beatrice the reason she skipped sses in senior


    high. She exined to them that she had learned everything that was supposed to be taught in


    school. Her financial conditions forced her to earn money by working, even though she had sses


    to attend.


    She was not lying when she said she had to work; she founded Newmoon Group at the time. The


    company was still in its infancy, hence why she had to devote more of her time to it. In essence, she


    was working for herself.


    She did not reveal anything about Newmoon Group because she did not want too many people to


    know about her identity.


    In addition, she was already weed by many prestigious universities even though she had yet to


    take the university entrance examination. She did not need to take the exam at all, but she still sat


    for it.


    The University of New Capital City was not her first choice at all. It was onlyter that the dean


    came to her and persuaded her to join them.

    She wanted to make that clear to Cedric and Beatrice to prevent Phoebe and Anya from trying to


    fool them again.


    In addition, she revealed to the old couple that Phoebe and Anya had sent several people to the


    countryside to investigate her past. She also informed them that the two women had gotten


    someone to fabricate rumors online and nder her.


    Corinne''s detailed narration left Cedric and Beatrice distressed and a little sorry. They were


    heartbroken to hear that Corinne had to make a living for herself at such a young age at the


    expense of her time as a student.


    The old couple was even more ashamed of what their wretched daughter-inw and granddaughter


    did to Corinne.


    Beatrice reached out to hold Corinne''s hand. "We believe you. Rest assured that we''ll get justice for


    you. Phoebe and Anya will be punished for this. Cedric has sent some servants to bring them to the


    countryside! They''ll have some time out there."


    Cedric nodded. "You''ve suffered so much these few days. I''ll be stern with them even though they''re


    my family!"
