Chapter 585

Edgar saw Gertrude mistaking Corinne for her long-lost daughter earlier, so he got an idea to take

Corinne in to be like a granddaughter to them!

Fortunately, Anya was present, and she was alert enough to cut Edgar off, not giving Corinne a chance

to say yes!

What a joke! If Corinne managed to get the Lovelaces as her connection, even if she would just be like

a granddaughter to them, it would make the family background of a country bumpkin. like Corinne more

presentable! She would then have more confidence to steal Jeremy away from Anya, would she not?

How could Anya allow Corinne to walk over to her? It was impossible!

Corinne answered Anya indifferently, “I heard that it’s Mister Lucas’s grandfather’s birthday today, so I

came to celebrate with him after work.”

Anya was having incomparably wicked thoughts, but she was smiling incredibly sweetly. Without

bothering if Corinne was willing or not, she went up and linked arms with Corinne.” Is that so? I have to

thank you for purposely coming over to celebrate my grandfather’s birthday, then!”

“Don’t mention it, Miss Anya. It’s something I should do.” Corinne looked calm. She just wanted to pull

her arm away from Anya, but Anya was hugging it with all her might and would not let go.

How could Anya let go so easily and let Corinne find a chance to talk to Edgar?

She stood in front of Corinne and turned to say to Edgar in a sweet voice, “Grandpa, you must be tired

from standing! Have a seat and take a break! The special birthday gift I’ve prepared for you will appear

on the stage later. You and Grandma would certainly love it very much after you see it!”

Edgar’s gaze darkened, glancing at Anya without any emotions. He was still ignoring Anya’s

ingratiation.

As he was interjected by Anya, Edgar did not wish to finish what he wanted to say anymore. He then

signaled his assistant to help him to take a seat.

Anya watched Edgar walk away slowly, but she still did not let go of Corinne’s arm.

At that moment, Sunny got curious, so he came up to her and asked, “Anya, what’s the gift you’ve

prepared for Grandpa? It’s so mysterious!”

Seeing that Edgar left and did not continue talking to Corinne about taking her in as a granddaughter

anymore, Anya surreptitiously felt she got her way. She smiled at her brother and said, “Be patient,

Sunny! You’ll find out later!”

Sunny frowned. “What exactly is it? I want to know now!”

Anya winked at her brother. “Be good, Sunny. You have to listen to me. Boys can’t have a look at my

gift in advance, but girls can!”

Anya turned her face and looked at Corinne with a sweet smile. “Corinne, I’ll take you to have a look at

the birthday gift I’ve prepared for Grandpa!”

Corinne knew Anya was about to make trouble again. She had no time to deal with this drama queen,

so she pulled Anya’s hands away from her, shaking her arm in disgust after she freed her arm. “I’m

sorry, Miss Anya. I’m not free now.”

Unexpectedly, Anya leaned closer to her once again and started to act cute to her. “Corinne, just help

me take a look! It’ll be quick. I want to hear your opinion before Grandpa and Grandma see the gift!”
