Chapter 613

Sunny would never admit to himself or anyone else that he did not know how to play chess.

Corinne followed Edmund into Lucas’ study. As soon as she entered, she realized Anya and Rosie

were also there.

Anya was crying in her wheelchair while Rosie kept passing tissues and comforting her. Noticing that

Corinne had come in, Rosie immediately glared at her vehemently.

Corinne paid no mind to them. Instead, she looked at Lucas, who leaned casually but authoritatively

against the sofa, sipping a cup of piping hot coffee.

She walked up to him and asked, “You were looking for me, Mister Lucas?”

Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Did you push Anya down the stairs?”

“No,” Corinne answered without hesitation.

Lucas’ eyes turned cold. “Why did you tear down Anya earlier?”

“I was just telling the truth,” said Corinne calmly.

Lucas scoffed. “Why did Grandpa take you in as his honorary granddaughter? What’s that all about?”

“I refused when he asked, but he insisted, so I was left with no choice but to accept his kind gesture.”

Lucas scoffed again. “You make it sound like you were forced into it.”

Corinne nodded. “Kinda.”

Lucas’s eyes turned ice cold.

Previously, Lucas would sometimes admire Corinne’s working capability. There were rare occasions

when he would feel affectionate toward her, though he still did not know why. He did not think she was

one of those scheming women.

However, after seeing her climb her way slowly into the Lovelaces’ heart, he found it harder and harder

to believe she had no ulterior motive at all.

Lucas stood up and threw the hot cup of coffee on Corinne’s face.

“Miss Carew, go somewhere else if you’re thinking of worming yourself into some wealthy family’s

heart. I trust it won’t be hard for you to do that with your ability and all. However, you’ve chosen the

wrong family. to do that, and as long as I’m here, I won’t let you have your way.”

What Lucas did caught Corinne off guard. She instinctively closed her eyes to prevent the coffee from

getting into her eyes. She waited until the hot coffee had dripped down from her chin and unto the

ground. before slowly opening her eyes.

“Mister Lucas, thank you for recognizing my talent, but I had no plan on doing what you’re accusing me

of doing.”

Lucas looked coldly at her. “You know best what you have in mind. There’s no use arguing with me. We

don’t welcome you here. You may leave now.”

Corinne would have fought him then and there if it was not for not wanting to ruin Edgar’s birthday

party. Not wanting to waste her time arguing, she simply took a deep breath and turned around.

“Wait!” Lucas called after her.

Suppressing her impatience, Corinne asked, “Is there anything else?”

“You don’t have to come to work tomorrow. Your position has been officially terminated from Rivera

Group,” said Lucas monotonously.

Both Rosie and Anya smiled victoriously when they heard that. ‘We’ve won!’

Corinne did not say anything. She simply chuckled and left the room calmly.

‘I have no need of a brother who cannot tell a fake person from a real person!” she thought.

The coffee dripped everywhere as she walked out of the room. It was a really pitiful sight. ‘I shouldn’t

go back to study to play chess with Grandma… I might scare her like this, and then things would get

worse… It’s best if I leave and come back another day to visit her.’

She deliberately chose a route with no people to leave the mansion because she did not want to attract

any attention. However, it just so happened Jeremy used the same route too.
