Chapter 351

Sunni’s resolve was

Late at night, Anya secretly snuck in some food for Sunny.

The two bodyguards standing guard at Sunni’s door hesitated to let her in but in the end thought they

might as well. They knew Lucas had always given Anya whatever her heart desired.

Therefore, even if Lucas was there himself, he would have let her in too.

Besides, they did not want to risk incurring Lucas‘ wrath. What if Anya went to tell on them?

Therefore, the safest option for them to take was to simply let her in.

When Anya went in, Sunny was lying face down on the bed and crying his heart out.

“Sunny? Sunny, get up. You’ll suffocate like that.”

Sunny was startled to hear Anya’s voice. He immediately sat up straight and wiped away the tears from

his eyes. Then, he turned around to face her and said tearfully, “Anya, what are you doing here? How

come you’re not asleep?”

“I can’t sleep ‘cause I’m so worried about you, so I thought why not drop in for a visit.” Anya pulled

some tissues out from the box and walked over to wipe away Sunni’s tears. “Just look at you. You

shouldn’t cry like this since you’re a big boy now.”

Sunny could not help himself either. He felt so wronged that the tears just fell out of their own accord. In

fact, what Anya said to him made him even angrier. “Anya, I was falsely accused. I didn’t do what

Lucas said I did. The reason I had the female influencer’s phone in my hand today was because I

wanted to clear up Corinne’s name!”

Anya was a little taken aback. Her hand that was wiping away Sunni’s tears froze midair while a sinister

glint flashed across her face.

‘Sunny risked himself to help Corinne, too? I don’t get it. What makes her so special that everyone.

wants to help her out? Not only did Lucas spend his time investigating the source of the leak, but even

the usually cowardly Sunny dared to steal the phone from Lucas‘ drawer?! They must’ve been taken in

by her innocent act…‘ thought Anya.

Sunny frowned when he saw Anya spacing out with a weird expression on her face. “Anya, what are

you thinking about? Don’t tell me you don’t believe me, too?”

Anya snapped out of her trance and immediately looked at him gently. “Nonsense! Of course I believe

you, but you should know how Lucas is. He only believes what he sees for himself and will not be

swayed just because you’re his little brother. He’ll never go easy on you since you don’t have proof that

you weren’t the one who posted the video online. This is what you should do tomorrow; find Jeremy

and apologize to him. Tell him you didn’t know what got into you. This way, it’ll make both Lucas and

Jeremy less angry at you.”

Sunny was shocked. He pushed away Anya’s hand and said, “Anya, are you serious? You want me to

apologize for something I didn’t do? No way am I doing that! Why should I when I didn’t do anything

wrong?!”

Anya sighed and looked disappointed. “Sunny, I’m not going to force you… It’s just that, you know my

biggest wish is to marry Jeremy and spend the rest of my life with him. But because of what

happened between our two families in the past, I’m not able to do that at the moment. Now the matter

with the video will only worsen what little left of goodwill we have with the Holden family. I might just as

well give up the hope of ever marrying Jeremy! Sunny, can you please just do this for me? Pretty

please?”

Anya’s eyes reddened and tears threatened to roll down her cheeks. Anyone with a heart would have

felt their heartstrings tugged at the sight of her big, sad puppy eyes.

arting to shake. He would do anything for Anya, but…

“But Anya, I think Jeremy and Corinne are-”

Anya must have guessed what he was going to say, and she did not want him to continue, so she cut

him off gently, “I know that Jeremy treats Corinne very well, but it’s not like he can just ignore her. She’s

his wife after all, and I’m sure he’s just putting up a show for the elders in his family. Besides, he’s a

responsible man. Even if he has no feelings for Corinne, he’d still make sure she’s

well taken care of.”

Sunny frowned and said, “No, that wasn’t what I was going to say. I really think Jeremy treats Corinne

differently. In fact, I think he treats her better than…”

Anya cut him off again. “As I said, they’re acting all lovey–dovey toward each other because they don’t

want the elders in the Holden family to know that everything is fake. He’s only being nice, protective,

and gentle to her on the surface. It’s all for the sake of his own family’s reputation, not because he has

feelings for her.

“He told me before that he only got married to Corinne to make the elders in his family happy and that

he’ll end the marriage after his grandfather’s health is better so that he can come back to me,

“Also, you should know very well that an aloof man like him would never fall in love with another

woman in one short month. I know him the best; that won’t happen.”

Sunny thought Anya’s reasoning was sound. The Jeremy he knew would never fall in love with another

woman when he was still in love with Anya.

After thinking about it, he could not bear to see Anya suffering so much, so he said, “Alright, then. I’ll do

it for your sake. I’ll go tell Jeremy that I was the one who posted the video online and apologize to him

tomorrow.”

“Oh, Sunny! Thank you! Thank you so much!” Anya hugged him and cried happily. “I know you’re a

good kid after all. I’m so glad to have a little brother like you. Rest assured I’ll find the culprit who put all

those things inside your computer to clear up your name!”

Sunny simply nodded. He had no doubt that Anya was going to do what she said she was going to

1. do.

Anya was about done crying. She got up and wiped away her tears before she brought out the food

she snuck in for Sunny. “Here. These are all your favorite foods. I can’t bear to see you go hungry.

Hurry up and eat them.”

Sunny was in no mood to eat but did not want to let Anya’s effort go to waste, so he bit into some

toast.

Anya looked at her naive little brother with relief. Then, she smiled sinisterly and thought, ‘No one will

ever suspect me now that I’ve convinced him to apologize to Jeremy. It’s not like he’ll lose out much,

anyway. The worst thing that’ll happen to him is probably Lucas going to give him another earful. But if

Lucas found out that I was the one who posted the video online… he’ll never trust me again. Plus, it’ll

make Jeremy like me even less. D*mn if I’m going to let that happen. Sorry Sunny,

but I have no choice but to sacrifice you for the sake of my happiness.‘

The next day, Corinne was still not awake by the time Jeremy walked out from his study. He made his

way to the bedroom and knocked on the door.

No one answered from inside, so he turned the doorknob, only to find out that it was locked.

“Please wait a moment, Mister Jeremy. I’ll get the spare key right away,” said Bowen as soon as he

saw what happened.
