Chapter 362

Sunny scratched his head. “Well, my sister said that the conflict between the Riveras and the Holdens

will deepen if no one comes forward to take responsibility. If that happens, her relationship with Jeremy

will be affected…” His voice unconsciously became softer as he spoke. At that moment, he realized

how inappropriate it was to talk about his sister and Jeremy in front

of Corinne.

Corinne, however, did not care at all and simply curled her lips in a smirk. “Will you die for your kind

sister if she tells you to?”

Sunny nodded without thinking. “Of course!”

Corinne could only give him a thumbs up. “What an awesome younger brother you are!”

Though her words and actions were that of praise, Sunny felt that it was a little weird, almost as if there

was some deep yet negative implication in her praise. Still unconvinced, he followed Corinne and

asked again, “What do you mean by that, Corinne? My sister treats me the best, and I can’t just leave

her to die if she’s in danger. My life isn’t as important as hers!”

Corinne merely smiled and said nothing.

Anya was so cunning that she brainwashed and manipulated her younger brother. If Anya was as good

a person as Sunny believed her to be, she would not have allowed her younger brother to come forth,

admit something that he never did, and take responsibility as well as the blame for those actions even

though he was a minor.

Moreover, if said matters had nothing to do with the Riveras, there was no need for one of them to

come forward and confess to it.

The only explanation as to why Sunny would have to take the blame was that Anya had a guilty

conscience, knew who did it, and was afraid that the foundations she laid would collapse if her

deviousness was discovered. As a result, she tricked her younger brother Sunny into taking all the

blame so the matter would end there and no one would suspect her again.

In reality, the true culprit behind the scenes was none other than Anya.

That being said, Anya was extremely talented in manipulating people, and she could get those around

her to die for her, be her willing sacrifice, and even do evil deeds for her. On the other hand, Anya

remained safe in the shadows and spurred people to have the impression that she was weak, innocent,

and pitiful.

Such abilities were far beyond the realm of an ordinary hypocrite.

Corinne could conclude that Anya’s duplicitous hypocrisy was twofold through the confirmation that

Anya deceived Sunny to take the blame for her and the results of Aaron’s investigation.

Aaron found out that there were a total of 1203 people named Anna Fuller in the city, yet none of them

returned to the country on the day that a certain mysterious individual publicly confessed their love on

the LED advertisement board at Yonder River’s shore. In addition, Aaron also found something unusual

with the order for the LED advertisement on Century Bank Tower.

The advertisement was paid for in cash, which was not standard practice because people were

generally unwilling to bring so much cash for such a big advertisement. According to the staff there, a

woman wearing a cap, sunglasses, and a mask came to place the advertisement that day. She was

very straightforward as she negotiated the time and the content before paying everything in cash.

On that same night, there happened to be a record of Anya consuming a cup of coffee in the shopping

mall just opposite the Century Bank Tower.

Aaron hacked into the surveillance system of that cafe and retrieved all the surveillance from that day.

Sure enough, he saw Anya there. He then took out the section of the video where Anya was present

and sent it to Corinne. The footage showed Anya sitting alone by the window of the cafe as she

watched the public confession of the LED display on the Century Bank Tower. That unsettling smile she

had was a far cry from her harmless demeanor in front of everyone.

It was obvious, then, that the confession was Anya’s doing to confuse the public and create the illusion

that Jeremy was deeply in love with her. She came prepared when she went back to the country, and a

lot of things happened even though she had only been back for a few days. Corinne decided that it was

best to be more careful around Anya in the future.
