Chapter 706

Cedric looked at Corinne with eyes of admiration and awe. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I just want

to see what my young savior looks like.”

Corinne smiled. “Oh, please don’t call me that. I’m not a savior at all. I just happened to be passing by

when you were in need of help. Anyone would have done the same thing.”

“Of course you are my savior. If it weren’t for you that day, I would’ve been beaten up by that

shameless woman and ended up in the hospital. H*ll, I might even have ended up dead.”

Corinne simply smiled since she did not know what to say.

Cedric smiled happily. “Come and let’s have a talk in the living room, child. Is there anything you would

like to eat or drink? I’ll make sure the kitchen only serves the finest for my savior!”

Corinne was speechless. She disliked the Riveras from the bottom of her heart. Even though she was

related to them by blood, she could not help but see them as her enemy since not one of them came to

her mother’s defense in the past, which resulted in her being cast out of the family. However, she still

did not have the full picture of what happened back then so she could not avenge her mother yet.

Cedric insisted she stayed for tea and Corinne failed to extricate herself from his invitation so in the end

she simply nodded and agreed to stay and chat which prompted him to immediately order the servants

to bring out the good stuff before leading Corinne to the living room.

Jeremy kept quiet throughout their conversation and followed Corinne into the living room. As for

Lucas, he was unhappy at the turn of events but knew he could not go against his grandfather’s wishes

to drive away an honored guest.

At that moment, Anya came over and asked quizzically, “Lucas, what’s going on? Why is Grandpa

calling Corinne his savior?”

Lucas was not in a good mood so he looked coldly at Anya, who felt more and more like a stranger to

him, and said angrily, “Anya, you still haven’t explained yourself to me. Go back to your room now and

you’re only allowed to come out when you’ve decided to come clean with me! No matter what, you

must give me a reasonable explanation by the end of today.”

Anya’s heart sank. ‘So Lucas doesn’t believe me at all? What should I do? What can I say to make him

believe me?’

Before going up to her room, Anya threw Corinne a reproachful look. She immediately gritted her teeth

angrily when she saw how kind Cedric was being toward Corinne. ‘D*mn you, Corinne! Isn’t it enough

you stole my man away from me and now you want to steal my Grandpa too?!”

After they sat down in the living room, the maids immediately brought out some tea and fruit. Cedric

looked kindly at Corinne and said, “Child, the last time we met, my eyes still hadn’t recovered from a

chemistry experiment that went wrong which caused me to temporarily lose my eyesight. It was only

recently that I managed to see things again and I’m so glad to see that you’re as beautiful as I

imagined!”

Cedric kept looking at Corinne while nodding his head. For some reason unknown to him, he

took an instant liking to her.

Lucas, who was sitting on the armchair, thought it was inappropriate for his grandfather to stare at a

lady like that so he cleared his throat and said, “Ahem. Hey, Grandpa!”
