Chapter 413

Anya was not happy at all. However, she did not show it on her face. Instead, she pretended to be kind

and understanding

“Don’t worry, Sunny. I’m fine and I’m sure Corinne didn’t mean to do that, so… Let’s just forget about it.”

Sunny nodded confidently. “Yeah! I’m sure she didn’t mean it too. There must be some

misunderstanding. I’ll go ask her about it later.”

Anya was speechless.

‘Unbelievable! My own brother would rather believe Corinne is innocent than to accept the fact that she

harassed me! Did she slip him a love potion or something?’ thought Anya.

Lucas witnessed their interaction with a sullen face. Then, he suddenly said sternly and sarcastically,

“You seem to be very confident about what kind of person Corinne is. Tell me, did she bribe you with

something?”

Sunny felt pressured when he realized just how dark Lucas’ face was. “No… She didn’t, but she helped

me out a few times. and she never asked for a favor in return. I figured someone like that can’t be all

that bad!”

“That’s all? What you’re saying is that Corinne is a good person and Anya is lying about what

happened?” questioned Lucas with a cold look in his eyes. ⠀

Sunny shook his head. “No, that’s not what I’m saying. I just think some kind of misunderstanding

must’ve happened

between them. Corinne would never assault Anya! She

definitely isn’t that kind of person!”

He emphasized the word ‘definitely’, making Lucas and Anya wonder just how confident he was about

Corinne’s character that he would use the word ‘definitely’ without hesitation.

Sunny rarely butt heads with Lucas, who was even stricter than their father. Therefore, he did not know

where he got the courage to talk back to Lucas like that. In any case, he did not like how Lucas spoke

about Corinne.

The argument between the two brothers seemed to have attracted attention from others.

“Are Mister Lucas and Mister Sunny arguing with each other? I wonder what happened?”

“Miss Anya seems to be caught in the middle. Look, she’s crying!”

“Isn’t Mister Sunny deathly afraid of his brother? Something must’ve happened for him to hold his

ground like that.”

“Who knows? They were fine just moments ago.”

Lucas stared at Sunny for a while, deep in thought as a multitude of emotions flashed through his eyes.

‘This half-brother of mine has always been scared of me ever since we were young. In fact, he doesn’t

even dare to breathe too loudly around me. Now, he dares to talk back to me just because of Corinne.

Well, I’m glad he’s manned up, but he should know that family comes first!’ thought Lucas.

He did not want to humiliate Sunny in front of so many people so he decided to give him a way to back

down. “Whether or not what happened today was a misunderstanding, you’re to stay

away from Corinne. In other words, you’re not allowed to talk to her unless it’s absolutely necessary.”

Sunny frowned and stubbornly said, “She’s my friend! I have to talk to her. Sorry, Lucas, but I’m not

going to listen to you this time.”

“You son of a gun!” shouted Lucas angrily.

‘I already gave him a way out, yet he still dares to defy my order. Is it all because of that Corinne?’

Sunny took a deep breath in a bid to shore up his courage. “L- Lucas, don’t forget that Corinne saved

grandfather. Our family is indebted to her so don’t you think it would make us seem a little ungrateful if

you forbid me to talk to her?”

“Why you!”
