“I bumped into a friend and we had lunch together,” answered Corinne.

“A friend? Who?”

Corinne massaged her temples. Then her eyes became sharp. “It doesn’t matter who it is. Aaron, I

want you to look into the Rivera family. Especially Lucas Rivera. Get me as much information about

him as you possibly can.”

“Yes, boss!” He did not even question why but immediately picked up his phone to make a call.

Corinne leaned lazily against the sofa and closed her eyes. She was two months along in her

pregnancy and it made her easily tired. She did not seem to have the same level of energy as

before.

She was living in Thalassa with Aaron for the past month while Xante stayed back in New Capital City

to take care of the business. Sometimes, she would visit them in Thalassa.

This one month, Corinne looked into her mother’s identity but there was no progress. Going by the

information Marvin gave her, she searched the entire student database at Thalassa University but there

was never a student by the name of Em Love, either past or present.

She even called Marvin again just to make sure he gave her the right information to which the latter

insisted that the information he gave her was accurate. Her mother was called Em Love and she was

the campus belle in Thalassa University.

Corinne had nothing to go on with after that so she wanted to meet Michel to see if he could give her

any new information about her mother. However, it was just her rotten luck that Michel could not come

to the exhibition because his wife fell sick.

Therefore, imagine her surprise when she learned something shocking about her mother from

someone none other than Jason.

Aaron hung up his phone and said, “Boss, I got the information you want!”

Corinne opened her eyes. “I’m listening.”

Aaron read out the information his subordinate sent him, “The Riveras come from a long line of

scholars and are one of the most distinguished families in New Capital City. The older generations

were all important figures who contributed much to the society. Lucas Rivera is the son of Maxwell

Rivera and Emily Lovelace, who herself happens to come from a very prominent family in Thalassa.”

‘Emily Lovelace? This name is so close to Em Love that it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence. They

must be the same person! Mister Carew didn’t give me the wrong name after all. Mom must have told

her classmates a shortened version of her name!’ thought Corinne.

“Continue,” said Corinne after a while.

“Later, Emily Lovelace was chased out of the house after the Riveras found out she had an

affair and gave birth to a daughter with another man. However, to save their reputation, the Rivera

declared the mother and daughter as missing.”

Corinne frowned and said, “That’s impossible!”

She could not believe her sweet and gentle mother would ever do something like that. Aaron must

have guessed what was going on in her mind so he stopped talking. He knew from the very moment

Corinne asked him to look into the Riveras that they had something to do with Corinne’s missing

mother.

Corinne pinched the center of her brows. She remained silent for a moment before finally saying,

“Aaron, go find out what jobs are available in Rivera Group right now.”

Aaron did a double-take. Then he immediately did as she said. “Boss, the Rivera Group is looking to

hire a secretary for its president, Lucas Rivera.”

Corinne narrowed her eyes and made up her mind that instant. “Aaron, pack your things. We’re going

back to New Capital City tomorrow.”

A worried frown appeared on Aaron’s face. “Boss, you’re not going to apply for the job, are you?”

“Of course I am.”

“But everyone knows how notoriously difficult Lucas can be. Not to mention, you had all those unhappy

misunderstandings with him. He’ll make your life difficult if you become his secretary.”

“Well, he’s my best bet on finding my mother now so I’m willing to take the risk.”
