Lucas squinted his eyes and sneered indifferently. "You need to attend an event with me tomorrow, so be prepared in advance to dress formally."Corinne was dazed. What event?She then recalled when they were in the ward earlier, Lucas said that Corinne was his partner for tomorrow to brush Anya and Rosie off. The event should be Anya's aunt's birthday party as she mentioned before.She was only cooperating with her boss at that time. She did not expect that Lucas was truly planning to take her to the party!Corinne was a little torn. She never liked attending that sort of fancy party. However, she thought that since Lucas's aunt was a senior member of the Riveras, she should know more about the things that happened in the family in the past. Therefore, she might be able to inquire about her mother if she got in contact with her.After giving it a thought, she turned her head to ask, "Mister Lucas, may I know if I would meet Jeremy at the event tomorrow?"Lucas looked up at her, f

From where Corinne, Xante, and Aaron were, they could not hear the conversation between the owner and the man. However, without a doubt, they felt that a lofty man like Jeremy sitting at a roadside shack like this just looked very out of place. Aaron clicked his tongue. "Boss, I've never expected that Jeremy would do what the common folk do. He would come to a roadside shack like this to have barbecued meat, as well as beer and chips! But why is he alone? It's no fun to drink alone!"Corinne felt this scene was very strange as well. Also, did Jeremy not say that he was catching a flight when he was at the hospital in the afternoon? Why was he still in New Capital City at that moment?Corinne thought of the time she came to have dinner at this shack alone, and Jeremy saw her when he was passing by. He then sat down and tried the barbecue meat with her. By the time they wanted to leave, she was so stuffed that she could not get up, so he held her hand.Thinking about it again at tha

Lucas could not quite explain what was going on with him. He started to worry about Corinne, whom he always disliked.He pinched the bridge of his nose, feeling that it was because he was exhausted from work recently that he started to have an illusion.Soon, the car arrived at the Lunar Century Manor. After the car was parked, Corinne followed Lucas out of the car and entered the manor.After taking a few steps, Lucas suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning to look at Corinne from the corner of his eyes and asking her indifferently, "Do you feel cold?"It was the beginning of winter, so the temperature at night was already very low.Wearing a thin dress, Corinne's arms were flushed because of the night breeze, but she replied indifferently, "I'm alright."Lucas looked at her and pondered for a second, then he looked back to say, "Edmund, bring the jacket in the car that Anya bought for me a few days ago and let Miss Corinne put it on."Edmund was taken aback, but he did as he w

"Rosie, Corinne is only together with Lucas because of work. Don't overthink it! Alright, you've had too much to drink. Come on. I'll take you to the balcony for some fresh air and sober you up!"Rosie looked upset and did not wish to let Corinne go just yet. Fortunately, after Anya talked some sense into her, she gradually calmed down. She glared at Corinne viciously before following Anya to the balcony.The night breeze on the balcony was cold. Rosie was slightly more sober, but the resentment she felt did not fade at all. "Anya, you shouldn't have held me back just now. You should have let me give her a severe punishment!"Anya looked kind and understanding. She shook her head and reminded her, "Rosie, you're too reckless. Don't forget that we're at my aunt's birthday party today!"Realizing that Rosie could not help but shudder. She suddenly felt a little scared. She almost forgot that this was Missus Benet's birthday party!Missus Benet was a powerful woman who liked to nitpi

He was the nephew of Maxwell's wife. No matter what, he could be considered partially a Rivera.The Riveras were a symbol of powerful status, so of course, he had to pretend to be part of them even if he was not! Corinne looked at Cole and saw that he was related to the Riveras and he did not look too bright, so she thought she might be able to get him to talk and see if he knew about the family's past.A brilliant man like Lucas was very sharp and vigilant, so there was no way for her to get any information out of him at all.Thinking of that, Corinne gave the man a friendly smile. "Hello, sir. It's a pleasure meeting you."Cole got all excited as he was bewitched by Corinne's smile. "The pleasure is mine! How should I address you, gorgeous?"Corinne said, "My name is Corinne.""Miss Corrine. You can just call me Cole!" He tried to probe, asking, "Oh yes, Miss Corinne, does the jacket you have on belong to your partner who came with you?"If she had a partner, and he was more
