Chapter 836

“That’s enough, Anya! You can ask for an apology if there’s really a misunderstanding, but there’s no

need to ask Corinne to kneel,” lectured Maxwell.

“But Dad! You were suspicious of Mom too, right? How do you think Mom feels, knowing her husband

also suspected her? How can Mom ever show her face around you again if we don’t seek justice for

her? I know Corinne meant well, but look what it’s doing to our family! It’s only fair for her to bear the

consequences for her action, and I’ll take nothing less than her kneeling and begging Mom for

forgiveness.”

Lucas was getting to the end of his patience too. “That’s enough, Anya! You-”

“Everyone, you can all stop speaking up for me now,” cut in Corinne indifferently. “I’m willing to do what

Anya wants as long as the test result comes back clean.”

The whole room fell silent.

Lucas turned to look at Corinne with pain and a multitude of other feelings in his eyes.

Jeremy frowned. He was not happy with Corinne’s decision and was about to say something when

Corinne, as if she knew what he was thinking, pulled his hand. She then looked up at him. and shook

her head, telling him to not worry and that she had everything under control.

Thus, Jeremy had no choice but to silently watch the incident unfold.

A smug look appeared in Anya’s eyes when she saw everyone was quiet. After that, she pretended to

wipe away her tears before turning to look at the doctor. “Doctor, you may announce the test result

now.”

The doctor nodded and intoned seriously, “The test result shows that the pomegranate is indeed very

pure.”

The test result was just as Anya expected. She mentally smirked and did a victory dance. She knew

the doctor would not divulge the secret ingredient in the pomegranate juice, not when she had bribed

him. Nobody could say no to that much money after all.

“Did you hear that, Corinne? The doctor said the pomegranate juice is very pure. You were wrong, and

my mother is innocent.”

Phoebe smiled in a way that showed she was willing to forgive Corinne, even though she was reeling

from the indignity of being wronged. “It’s okay, Anya. I’m just glad my name is finally cleared up,” she

said with a sigh.

“No! I said I’d seek out justice for you, Mom!” said Anya before turning to look at Corinne. Apologize to

my mom now, Corinne!”

The three men present immediately frowned in unison.

Corinne simply smiled and said, “Hold your horses, Miss Anya. The doctor seems like he hasn’t

finished speaking yet.”

‘My god, she’s a stubborn one!’ thought Anya unhappily.

“Doctor, this lady here seems to still hold some doubt about the test result, so why don’t you explain it

to her in a way she’ll understand?” said Anya.

“Well, she’s right. I was about to say more about the test result before you cut in, Miss Anya. I hope

you’ll let me finish speaking this time around.”

Anya’s face stiffened. “Okay…”

‘How dare this doctor treat me this rudely when he accepted my money?’
