“Yes, I did it myself.” Sunny nodded, then he asked nervously, “Lucas, did I get it right this. time?”

Unexpectedly, Lucas slammed the test paper on the table. “What I want is for you to improve yourself,

not to resort to cheating!”

Sunny was frightened. He instinctively took a step back, saying innocently, “Lucas, I didn’t cheat!”

“You didn’t even know how to solve one question just now, yet you could solve so much after going out

for a while?” Lucas glared at Sunny, feeling disappointed that he failed to live up to his expectations.

“Who are you trying to fool?”

How could he believe that Sunny did it himself? Not only did Sunny get all the questions wrong, but he

was absurdly wrong. Lucas could tell at a glance that Sunny did not even know the basic knowledge at

all. That was why there was not even a need to correct his mistakes and explain them to him!

At that moment, after he corrected his mistakes on this paper, he almost got 80 percent of the question

right. Just with Sunny’s intelligence alone, he could not do it!

Seeing that his brother was questioning him, Sunny figured that he should have gotten quite a lot of

them right, which led his brother to believe that he cheated. Therefore, he quickly explained, “Lucas, I

answered them myself. Corinne has taught me a formula that could be applied to all equations. I

understood it, then I used the formula to think and answer the questions! If you don’t believe me, I will

do a new practice test to show you!”

Corinne was the one who taught him? Lucas was slightly taken aback. He frowned and asked with his

guard up, “Why did she tutor you?”

Sunny answered honestly, “At first, she didn’t want to teach me as well. It was after I begged her that

she made time to explain one question to me. Because I heard she was a top student at the University

of New Capital City, I thought she might have some shortcuts, and I begged her to teach me how to

improve my grades fast.”

Lucas fell silent for a minute and his eyebrows got even more tightly furrowed. “Stay away from her in

the future!”

Lucas was confused. “Why? I feel she’s quite nice. Also, the way she explains is very simple and easy

to understand.”

Lucas sneered. “Do you know how to judge a person? Who is she to you? Why would she teach you

for nothing? You’re not a child anymore. Be more mindful and don’t trust anybody so easily!”

Sunny said, “Alright. But if she’s bad, why are you keeping her in the company?”

Lucas was suddenly at a loss for words. “This is a business among adults, a child like you shouldn’t

ask so much about it! Have Edmund take you home and continue with your revision. You should

prepare for your test next week!”

Sunny pursed her lips. “Lucas, about my card-”

Lucas’s expression darkened. “There’s no need for you to mention your card to me before you pass

your test.”

“Alright, I got it!” Sunny sighed sadly. He then carried his homework in his arms and went to look for

Edmund.

After Lucas watched his brother leave, he looked down at the test paper in his hands again, his

eyebrows were still tightly furrowed. It was an extraordinary feat for Corinne to improve Sunny’s grades

by a level in such a short period. However, why did she want to help Sunny with his homework? If what

she said was true, and she did not wish to marry into the Riveras, then what exactly did she want?

What exactly was she thinking?

With her intelligence, she could make a name for herself no matter where she went, so why did she

come to the Rivera Group for her so-called high salary?

Feeling a little tired, Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose.

Every time he felt both physically and mentally exhausted, he would think of his mother and sister,

having no clue if they were alive or dead. He reached out and touched the photo on his desk.

Recently, the feeling that his mother and sister were still alive was getting stronger for some reason.

He once tried to push his luck by sending people to search for his mother’s and sister’s remains. At that

moment, however, he had a feeling as if they were by his side, watching him.

In the afternoon the following day, Corinne was almost done making arrangements for the

implementation of her sales proposal. She leaned against the back of her chair and grabbed her phone

to look at the time.

It was ten minutes from the time she got off work, so she called Sunny.
