Chapter 574

Sunny said sheepishly, “Lucas, I got tired after doing the homework this morning, so I went out for a

stroll. I wanted to let my brain take a break for a while.”

“You got tired after doing the homework?” Lucas sneered as if he heard a terrible joke. He squinted his

eyes, looking strict. “You didn’t get a single question right, yet you dare to let your brain rest. If your

brain takes any more rest, it’s going to rot. What’s the difference between that and having no brains at

all?”

Sunny hung his head, feeling ashamed. “I-”

Lucas glared at his brother in disappointment. “Go and do your homework now. You at least have to

solve two questions correctly before I return. Otherwise, your card is not going to just be temporarily

frozen!”

“Alright. I got it!” Sunny turned around dispiritedly. He was very embarrassed after being reprimanded,

so he did not dare to take another look at Corinne before he left in a hurry.

After Sunny left, Corinne saw that Lucas was still firmly seated at her desk, having no intention to get

up and leave at all.

Corinne entered and asked with a faint smile, “Would you like a coffee, Mister Lucas?”

Lucas was not smiling at all. He just looked at her sternly and indifferently. “Corinne, what exactly do

you want to do?”

Corinne raised her eyebrow. “I’m only asking if you want coffee, Mister Lucas. What else can I do?”

An indifferent disdain gleamed in Lucas’s eyes. “Miss Corinne, you’re just trying to find your catch by

casting your net to see who’s taking the bait now. You didn’t even spare Sunny, who is still in high

school. Don’t you think you’ve gone over the board? Let me remind you. Don’t waste your effort on him.

Even if you truly make that silly boy fall in love with you, without my permission, you still can’t be a part

of the Riveras!”

Corinne smiled. “Mister Lucas, I realized you and your siblings truly belong to a family. The way you

judge others is surprisingly identical. All of you took me for an easy woman who’s exhausting all the

ways to find a man so I can climb the social ladder! Let me make myself clear once again. I only came

to the Rivera Group for work. Even if I have some other intentions, it’s not to marry into the Riveras.

Therefore, you may rest assured. I have no interest in you, much less your brother! Even if you beg me

to be a part of your family one day, I won’t say yes!”

Beg her to be a part of the Rivaras? Lucas felt that not only was she overly optimistic, but it was

ridiculous. They absolutely would never beg me!

He did not say anything. He looked at Corinne’s face for a while before moving his gaze downward. He

stared at her belly, which still looked flat, squinting with a cold gaze.

“Corinne, there are some things that I didn’t spell out, but that doesn’t mean I’m clueless about it. The

truth will come to light someday. I hope that you truly know your place. Take the initiative to do

whatever you’re supposed to do, and don’t make me intervene to help you.’

Corinne was stunned. She did not quite understand what Lucas meant. However, she could feel his

murderous eyes staring coldly at her belly, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.

“Your words are too profound. I need to think about it properly.”

“You are a smart person, Miss Corinne. I believe you’ll get the right answer soon. You’d better not

disappoint me.”

Upon saying that, Lucas stood up elegantly, not intending to stay in her office any longer.

When he walked past her, he said, “You were absent without leave during working hours. Your pay

today is gone.”

Corinne was speechless.

She was dragged out of the office by Sunny to help him pay for the gift earlier. At that moment, her pay

was docked by Lucas. Corinne truly had nothing to say anymore!

As expected, she and the Riveras just simply could not get along!
