Chapter 645

Lucas stared fixedly at Corinne for a while before finally, politely but coldly, saying, “Miss Corinne, what

you said only applies to kids of regular folks and not for kids born into the Rivera family. Those that

carry. the Rivera name, like Sunny himself, are tasked with a great burden on their shoulder. Thus, he

can’t just do whatever he wants. Do you understand now?”

What Corinne hated the most was the way Lucas thought he was better than everybody else just

because he was lucky enough to be born into a wealthy and prominent family. “We’re all humans on

this earth. No one is better than anybody else! You say he’s tasked with a great burden on his shoulder

but have you ever asked if he wanted that?

No matter how self-righteous you made the whole thing sound, it still doesn’t make it right for you to

impose your wishes on another person! I used to think life would be better for me if I was born into a

wealthy family. Then I could do whatever I wish to do without ever having to worry about making ends

meet. Well, you’ve certainly proved me wrong. I would rather live a life of poverty if it meant I get to

choose what I want to do with my life!”

Lucas’s eyes turned ice cold while his face flickered with displeasure. “Are you done talking? If you are,

then I highly suggest you leave this room this instant.”

Corinne was not done. She smirked and asked, “Mister Lucas if you think your disciplinary method is

so great, why does it seem you’re not happy with the way Sunny has turned out? Have you ever asked

yourself that question?

“You should since you’re the one who single-handedly raised him to become who he is. When you

berate him for how he turned out, it’s equivalent to you berating yourself for failing to bring him up

properly. Don’t you see just how fallible you are too? So how can you ask Sunny to be perfect?”

Lucas frowned. She managed to hit a sore spot of his. His face darkened and his lips were drawn into a

tight line.

“I can tell Sunny is afraid of you. While fear might make him do what you want him to do, it’ll never be

able to extinguish the dreams he holds dear in his heart. One day, when he’s all grown up, you’ll come

to realize that he wants to have nothing to do with you nor does he want to live the way you want him to

live anymore. By then, it’ll be too late for you to see that the worst way to discipline someone is to

mentally beat them into submission.”

Lucas glared coldly at her. After a long while of silence, he suddenly smiled in a way that did not reach.

his eyes. “Well said. I’ve certainly learned something new today. However, might I remind you to mind

your own business? An outsider like you shouldn’t butt your nose in my family’s business.”

Corinne shrugged. “You’re right. It is none of my business but I’ve already said what I said and since

you’re here now, I can leave Mister Sunny to you. There’s an urgent matter I need to attend to so

forgive me for making a move first.”

-She did not wait for either Lucas or Sunny to say anything and simply turned to leave the room.

However, after taking a few steps, she stopped and turned around. “By the way, Mister Lucas. Please

remember to compensate the hospital for the glass door Mister Sunny broke today.”

Both Lucas and Sunny were speechless. Under their watchful gaze, Corinne turned back around,

pushed open the door, and walked out of the ward at a leisurely pace. Sunny watched as the door

closed with a click; the shock in his heart lingered on.

Everything Corinne said shook him to the very core. ‘Bravo Corinne! Has she always had this side to

her? Ugh, I shouldn’t have bullled her because of Anya.’

“How did you end up with her in the hospital? Didn’t I say to stay away from her?” Lucas questioned

him sternly, effectively pulling him away from his thoughts of gratitude toward Corinne.
