Chapter 565

Corinne wanted to ignore them, so she automatically walked past them.

“Corinne!” Anya called out to her in a gentle voice.

Corinne stopped in her tracks, turning her face. “Is something up again, Miss Anya?”

She was mocking her by adding the word “again,” insinuating that she did plenty in the past.

It also had a tinge of warning implied, telling her she better not create trouble again!

Anya came to Corinne with a smile as pure as the driven snow, then deliberately asked, Corinne, why

did you ignore me when you saw me?”

What was there for them to talk about after Anya framed Corinne yesterday?

”

Corinne pursed her lips. “No, it’s just that I saw you and Mister Lucas’ secretary were having an

enjoyable conversation, so I didn’t want to interject.”

“Oh, I see!” Anya’s pure smile got broader. She took a step closer and tip-toed to reach Corinne’s ear

as Corinne was taller than her. Then, she spoke in a voice so soft that only Corinne could hear,

“Corinne, you won yesterday! However, don’t be smug yet. The best part is yet to come! Didn’t you like

to drive a wedge between my brother and me? Let me tell you. something then, that’s what you’re

incredibly wrong about! My brother loves me the most. Ever since childhood, no matter what mistakes

I’ve made, he would forgive unconditionally, loving me just the same and tolerating me! An illegitimate

daughter like you who was never loved by anybody and liked by your family since childhood would

never understand the happiness I have!”

She was smiling as she said that, but the words that came out of her mouth were unkind. The

juxtaposition of the two created an extremely creepy feeling.

However, Corinne sneered instead of getting angry and said with a faint smile, “Mm-hmm. I can tell that

Mister Lucas truly loves you very much.”

Anya put her feet firmly on the ground, raising an eyebrow at Corinne in an arrogant yet sweet manner

while beaming. “It’s good that you can tell! So don’t waste your effort trying to come at me through my

brother! It’s useless!”

Corinne was still smiling. “Aren’t you tired, Miss Anya? You’re acting a fake character and

image every day. You use your family and friends to create trouble, and you plot against all the women

who might threaten you, treating everybody as your enemy. Honestly speaking, are you truly happy and

secure?

“In my opinion, a secure and fulfilled person probably wouldn’t be like you, who would go to any lengths

to guard everything you already have. I’m guessing that you’re feeling very anxious and insecure deep

down. Because you know everything you have now can be shattered at just a slight touch. The love

and tolerance you were surrounded with what you’ve traded by

putting on an act and ingratiating yourself. You don’t have the confidence that you can still have this

status and protection when you let your true colors show and be yourself. Therefore, you are more

afraid than anybody to lose it all, am I right?”

Anya’s smile stiffened, unable to say anything for a long time.

Corinne raised his hand and patted her shoulder with a frivolous yet heavy touch. “Miss Anya, if you

have time to target me, you might as well do some good deeds to give your child some blessings!”

Upon saying that, she walked past Anya and returned to her office.

Anya almost lost her composure. Every single word Corinne said earlier got to her and exposed the

deep fear she had deep down!
