Chapter 446

A wealthy family like the Riveras was just like any other wealthy family. All they cared about was money

and reputation. With both in their hands, they would be able to prevent the scandals their families were

involved in from getting out to the public.

Even if words get out of what happened behind closed doors, no media company would be brave

enough to expose them. Therefore, only a handful of people possessed insider information about the

Rivera family and those people made sure to keep their mouths shut to

outsiders.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Corinne to find out what happened back then if

she did not walk into the lion’s den, so to speak. She thought that it would be

easy to clear up her mother’s name since it was confirmed that she did not share the same DNA as

Marvin.

However, now that she learned that she was rumored to be the child born out of an extramarital affair.

Well, that gave her a headache. She could not and would not believe her mother would ever be a

mistress so she vowed to get to the bottom of the truth. She must clear her mother’s name and take

revenge on those who spread lies about her.

“Boss, aren’t you worried the Holdens would find you if you go back to New Capital City? I have a

reliable source telling me that Mister Jeremy is still looking for your whereabouts,”

said Aaron.

“The best place to hide is in plain sight. They’ll never expect me to be right under their nose. Besides, I

can’t give up looking for my mother just because of that.”

Suddenly, she remembered the news she saw on the TV a moment ago. She frowned and scoffed. “So

what if he found me? It’s not like I owe him anything. Plus, I heard he’s getting engaged to Anya soon.

He’s probably hunting me down so that he could give me an invitation to their party.”

Aaron was surprised to hear the news of the engagement but his surprise quickly turned to anger and

contempt. ‘I can’t believe I used to think he was a good guy. A guy that the boss can live happily with

for the rest of her life. Well, he certainly proved me wrong. How can he get engaged with another

woman when it has only been a month since the boss left him? It’s a good thing the boss has always

been the rational type and didn’t fall too hard for him.’

“Alright, boss. I’ll go pack up our things and ask Xante to send someone to pick us up.”

“Thank you,” Corinne said. Then leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

‘It’s best for Xante to send someone to pick us up. Taking public transportation might leave our tracks,’

she thought. She was not afraid Jeremy would find her but she still wanted to avoid the possibility of

running into him. For some reason unknown to her, she would get into one trouble or another whenever

she was involved with the Holden family.

A few days later.

At the Rivera Group’s headquarter, the Human Resources department.

Edmund was interviewing the candidates one by one. The requirements for this job were higher than

normal since the new hire would be acting as the executive secretary to the president.

The candidates would be judged based on their qualifications, their looks, and how well they present

themselves. Those who passed the first round of screening would then meet with Edmund Lucas’ right-

hand man who had the final say on who to hire.

–

Edmund already interviewed more than a dozen applicants and his disappointment seemed to grow in

proportion to the number of applicants he interviewed.

‘None of them would even last one day with Mister Lucas. It’s so hard to find someone he likes. Not

only do they have to be capable but they have to be discreet and have no ulterior motives.’

Most of the applicants were women and all of them were dressed like they were going to a party

instead of a job interview. Plus, the heavy makeup on their faces did not give them any brownies points

at all.

‘It’s obvious they’re not here for the job but for Mister Lucas! I’ll get an earful from him if I hire someone

who only wants to climb into his bed instead of doing her job well.”

Edmund looked at the voluptuous woman sitting in front of him. She was playing with her hair and

showing off her cleavage. He waved his hand impatiently and said, “I’m sorry but you’re not suitable for

this job. Next!”

A few seconds later, Corinne walked in and sat down on the chair.

By that point, Edmund was sick of all the women who had nothing to show off but their make-

up skills. He lowered his head and pinched the center of his brows as he asked absent- mindedly, “Tell

me, why did you apply for this position?”

“Because the money being offered is good.”
