Corinne guessed Cedric and Beatrice wanted her to stay for dinner to make up for all the trouble Phoebe and Anya caused her. However, she did not want to stay a minute longer than she had to. All she wanted to do was say her piece and peace out."Don't worry, Grandpa, Grandma. I'll give Corinne a ride," said Lucas consolingly.Cedric nodded. "Yes, you must do that. We've caused nothing but trouble for her.""Lucas, tell Corinne how sorry we are," added Beatrice."I know," said Lucas.The three of them ignored Phoebe and Anya throughout the conversation. They must have thought they were nothing but a nuisance by then.…When Corinne stepped out of the mansion, she bumped into Maxwell who seemed to have come from the garden, judging by his soil-caked hands. He might have dressed very well all the time, but his hands seemed to be forever dirty. Also, he did not seem to care about any of the happenings in the house. Well, not as much as he did with his plants.Maxwell was surprised

"Find the best tutor you can in the country to get Josephine up to speed on every subject," Phoebe answered after thinking it over.Anya frowned. "Mom, we only have three days. Even if Josephine studies twenty-four hours every day, she'll still lose to the straight-A Corinne."Phoebe narrowed her eyes slyly. "Corinne asked your grandfather to arrange the test paper, right? Well, I'll figure out a way to get those test papers within these two days. That'll give Josephine an advantage over Corinne."Anya's eyes lit up when she heard Phoebe's brilliant idea. "Okay! We'll do just that. I'm sure we'll get Corinne this time! Her life will definitely be ruined forever! Hahaha!"Phoebe nodded. "Now go find that tutor for Josephine. It's best if she equips herself with some basic knowledge so that she'd be less likely to get exposed as a fraud.""I'll get on to it now!"…Phoebe went back to her room after that, only to see Maxwell—who had just finished showering—walking out of the bathr

Corinne was elated. 'I can shake Lucas off once I get to the subway station!' she thought.After looking left and right for any incoming cars, Corinne stepped onto the crosswalk and sped up so she could get away from Lucas.Just as she was about to reach the other side, a car heading straight for her suddenly appeared out of nowhere! She had no time to react!Before it was too late, Lucas threw himself onto her.Wanting to make sure Corinne's baby would not get crushed, Lucas turned Corinne around when they fell so she would fall on top of him. At that moment, only the sound of the car tires screeching and the muffled thud of Lucas hitting the ground could be heard. It was a dangerously close call!The first thing Corinne did after she recovered from her shock was to mentally note down the details of the car that nearly hit them. It was a gray van with the car plate number XXXXX.After that, she looked down at Lucas. "Mister Lucas, are you okay?" she asked as she got up.Lucas s

Jeremy, who was sitting at the head of the table of the meeting room in his company, immediately stood up. His usually aloof face was riddled with rarely-seen anxiety. "What happened? Why are you in the hospital? Are you sick?"'I should've gone with her to the Riveras!' he thought. 'Did they hurt her again?'All kinds of possible scenarios flashed through his mind, making it difficult for him to breathe.Corinne's lips twitched. "Mister, I'm okay."Jeremy frowned. "Why did you go to the hospital if you're okay? By the way, which hospital are you at right now?"Corinne was starting to get a headache. "Lucas broke his foot when he tried to save me from getting hit by a car. He can't walk at the moment and he lost his phone, so we have no way of contacting his family. I can't carry him either, so…"Jeremy heaved a sigh of relief. "You're not allowed to carry him even if you have the strength to do so. Wait right there. I'll be there right away.""Okay," Corinne replied with a nod

Lucas did not like Jeremy either, but he wanted to get back at him for ruining his time with Corinne. He thus spread his arm widely and said, "Thanks for the piggyback, brother-in-law!"The title 'brother-in-law' unsettled Jeremy. He felt happy, but he was annoyed as well. In the end, he did not give Lucas a piggyback because he could not accept having another man lying on his back, but he had to find a way to make Corinne happy at the same time.Thus, he walked up to Lucas and scooped him up into his strong arms. He then carried him into the car as passersby watched on. A handsome man carrying another equally handsome man in his arms was really a sight to behold!All the eyes of the nurses manning the reception counter lit up, and they quickly covered their mouths to stop themselves from screaming like fangirls. All the other hospital-goers snuck glances at Jeremy and Lucas, wondering what their relationship was.Only Lucas was unhappy about the situation; he had never been carrie
