Lucas turned toward her. “Go on. Spit it out.”

Corinne got up and looked at him with resolve in her eyes. “Mister Lucas, I think there’s something

wrong with the way you’re disciplining Mister Sunny.”

Lucas smiled. “Miss Corinne, I didn’t expect to run into you again so soon. Why, it was just moments

ago we ran into each other at the hotel. I haven’t even asked you what you’re doing here and yet you

dared to question the way I discipline my brother? In any case, who made you the queen of discipline?”

The contempt in Lucas’s voice was obvious but Corinne was unfazed by it. She continued to look at

him indifferently and said, “I might not know everything there is to know about disciplining a child but I

do have first-hand experience of what it feels like to grow up in a house that gives out bad disciplinary

actions so I thought I should warn you to stop doing what you’re doing or else you’ll come to regret it in

the end.”

Lucas pulled out a chair, sat down on it, rested his elbow on the support, and placed a side of his face

on his hand. “Then what do you suggest I do instead? Tell me, I’m all ears.”

Corinne raised her eyebrows and glanced at Sunny, who was acting like a mouse who saw a cat,

before casting her calm and sharp eyes back at Lucas.

“Mister Lucas, I know you’re doing this in the hopes that Sunny would turn out to be a decent human

being but don’t you think attacking his self-esteem is not the way to go about it? He’ll only learn to

doubt. or even hate himself whenever he runs into a problem in the future.”

Sunny was stunned. He looked up at Corinne with surprise. He never imagined Corinne would

understand. what he was feeling and stood up to his brother for him.

Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Continue.”

“Mister Sunny got hurt because he wanted to save a woman from an asthma attack. In any case, you

should have praised him for helping others and then gently let him know that it’s important to take note

of his surroundings before helping others. What you shouldn’t have done was indiscriminately deny

everything he did as you did just now.”

Lucas quirked up his brow. “If a person wants to be praised by others, he must first ensure no one can

find faults with what he has done. What he shouldn’t expect is for others to hold a lenient attitude

toward him.”

Corinne did not dare to straight up tell Lucas how harsh he was being so she said, “No one is perfect.

Mister Lucas, you shouldn’t put pressure on Mister Sunny to be perfect. You can certainly hold yourself

up to that standard but you have no right to ask others, not even your brother, to uphold the same

standard as you!

“Each of us comes to this world with our unique personality. Mister Sunny having a bad personality or -

being poor in studies doesn’t mean that he wouldn’t be able to go on to live a great life. He’s very

talented in e-Sports and he can make a name for himself by using that talent. Wouldn’t it be good for

him to let him do what he likes while he’s still young?

“No one has the right to define what success looks like for other people. You don’t have to be

successful to be happy. Some people are living happily as we speak, even though they don’t have the

usual markers of success. As his elder, don’t you want your brother to live a happy life?”

Sunny listened dazedly to all that Corinne had to say, causing his gloomy eyes to gradually light up. He

looked at her in both disbelief and gratitude. ‘She has said everything I wanted to say to my brother! It’s

as if she could see into the very core of my being!”

Lucas, however, remained unmoved by the barrage of self-reflective questions. He simply narrowed his

eyes at her monologue. No one could tell whether he heard what Corinne said.
