Chapter 590

Corrine hurriedly caught up to that figure, and with a lunge, she blocked in front of him.

He was a man dressed in a servant’s uniform. He was not very young, appearing to be in his

40s.

“Who are you? Why are you running away?”

With his path blocked off, he shook his head a little unnaturally and said, “I am an old servant here, I-

I’m not running away. I’m just in a hurry to take some things from the kitchen and bring them to the

banquet hall.”

Corrine squinted her eyes. “It was obvious that you were staring at me in secret, and you only ran off

when you were found out by me!”

The servant shook his head fervently. “No, I did not!”

Corrine raised an eyebrow. “Don’t want to be truthful, do you? Then I shall report you as a pervert to

the head of your household!”

He panicked and quickly said, “No, please don’t! I didn’t mean any harm!”

“Then tell me the truth, why were you spying on me just now?”

“I-I just feel that your side profile looks a lot like the young miss who went missing lots of years ago, so

when I saw your face I was a little out of it. I thought that she was back. That’s why I stared at you for

so long. But when you turned your face, I realized I mistook you for her. I felt so awkward and wanted

to leave immediately. I’m sorry to have offended you!”

After Corrine heard his explanation, she loosened up, and she became calmer, “Young miss? Is she

the woman holding the baby in that portrait?”

He nodded, “Yes, that’s her.”

Corrine looked at the portrait from afar. “Do I look like her?”

Talking about the young miss in his mind, a respectful and longing expression appeared on his face,

and he said, “Yes, the side of your face looks like her when she was young, but seeing you from the

front, although there is a little bit of resemblance, you do not look exactly like her.”

Seeing that he seemed to have a crush and secret admiration for her mother, Corrine let out a sigh out

of sympathy and continued to ask inquisitively, “Why would she go missing?”

The servant frowned and said with resentment, “She married a bad husband, and that family-

“Corrine, why are you inquiring about all of these?” A sudden voice of an unfriendly woman was heard,

and it interrupted what the servant was about to say.

Corrine turned her head and saw Rosie-who was very dressed up-walking toward them with crossed

arms and an arrogant look on her face. Her gaze was vigilant as if guarding against a thief.

The servant saw that a guest was coming, so he took this chance to quickly take his leave.

Seeing that he left without finishing saying what he had to say, Corrine could not help but feel that it

was a pity. She had a feeling that if she could let him finish what he wanted to say, maybe she could

have gotten more new clues about the truth of her mother’s disappearance.

“Corrine, I’m talking to you! What is your purpose for asking about Lucas’s mother at Mister Maxwell’s

birthday party?” Rosie asked aggressively.

Corrine snapped out of her thought and looked at her lazily. “I saw that the woman in the portrait is so

beautiful and got a little curious, so I was just asking.”

“Just asking? I think you have an ulterior motive!” Rosie’s eyes were not only filled with her hatred

toward Corrine but also with a heavy defense against her. “I just heard from Anya that you were also

here for Mister Maxwell’s birthday, and I knew things were not as simple as that! You have nothing to

do with the Lovelaces, so why are you here? And here you are, secretly inquiring about Lucas’s

mother! Corrine, are you getting any silly ideas about Lucas, and want to know more about his family

background so that you can use it to your advantage?”

Corrine rolled her eyes and was too lazy to explain herself. She turned and walked away! “Stop right

there! You are not allowed to leave!” Rosie shouted at her.
