Chapter 849

Lucas sighed and stared at Corinne who stood opposite him. He then said in a helpless tone, Enough

is enough, Corinne. You don’t need to bring any of that up anymore.”

Corinne glanced at Lucas and chuckled. “Back to loving your good little sister again, are you?” Lucas

was speechless. It was for him to be caught between his two younger sisters.

Phoebe feigned distress about Anya’s situation and came forward to defend her daughter. “I admit I did

something bad to you today, but my daughter had no part to play in it! You can’t insult my daughter like

that! It’s bad enough that she is infertile from a young age. Why do you have to make those remarks to

provoke her?”

Corinne looked at Phoebe and said, “You’re right! Your daughter is such a pitiful, miserable woman!

Why did you give her so much saffron, then? Did I provoke her more, or did you?”

Phoebe’s face froze, and she was speechless for a while.

Anya looked away from Lucas and said with tears streaming down her face, “Corinne, I know that you

might be holding a grudge against my mother because she tried to hurt you today, but she only did it in

a moment of confusion. She won’t do that ever again! You can vent all your unhappiness on me instead

of her! If you’re still not satisfied, I can kneel and admit my mistake to you!”

She then made a motion of kneeling after saying that.

Corinne immediately grabbed Anya just as she was about to kneel. She smiled and said, ” Don’t! You

don’t have to do that! I was just teasing you! Look at how riled up you are because of the things I said.

You were going to cry and kneel!”

Anya’s expression froze, but her heart was raging furiously and her expression became unnaturally

distorted.

Corinne then let go of Anya’s hand and smiled at her. “Sorry about that, Miss Anya. I know that

everything I said to you was a bit overboard, but that’s because I want to give you a surprise! I thought

it’d be good if I make you feel down for a bit before raising your spirits again later!”

Anya snapped back to her senses. “A surprise?”

Corinne smiled mysteriously and nodded. “Yup! It’s a huge one, too!”

Anya frowned defensively. “What surprise could that be?”

Corinne smirked and cocked an eyebrow. “Why don’t you take a guess?”

Anya’s innocent gaze was tinged with displeasure, and she felt that Corinne was trying to play tricks on

her again. However, she decided to play along and said ignorantly, “I can’t guess, Corinne…”

Everyone else more or less had a frown on their faces, and they objected to Corinne’s way playing

tricks. Sunny was more upfront than the others there, and he urged Corinne impatiently even though he

was lying on the hospital bed. “Stop keeping us in suspense, Corinne! Tell us what the surprise is!

You’re making me anxious!”

Corinne looked at Sunny in disgust and snorted softly, “Not even being bedridden can stop you from

being your usual self!”

Sunny glared arrogantly at her. “What are you going to do about it, huh?”

Corinne ignored Sunny and turned to look at Anya. She smiled and said, “Then I won’t keep you

waiting any longer. Ta-da! This is the surprise!” She then took out from her pocket a crumpled piece of

paper that had been folded into squares.
