Chapter 345

At the Riveras, Lucas sat leisurely on the chair in front of the dust–free built–in bookshelf and read a book by a

foreign author while holding a cup of hot coffee in his other hand.

His secretary, Edmund, stood to one side and reported the situation dutifully. “Sir, about those videos and posts

online, it’s clear that Corinne has been wrongfully accused. Should we clarify to the public on her behalf?”

Although Edmund could not understand why Corinne would disrespect his employer, that did not change the fact

that Corinne helped the old man on Yonder River’s shore the othxo.com fast updateer day. Had she not been

around, the old man would have been hurt by that ignorant female internet celebrity.

Lucas narrowed his handsome eyes and remembered the arrogant way in which Corinne ignored him. He took a

slow sip of coffee and said softly, “She is Jeremy’s woman. We don’t need to intervene even if something happens.”

When Edmund heard that, he realized that Lucas was right–the Holdens‘ scion could not have been incapable of

protecting his own woman. ‘Guess I’m just worrying too much, then.

Lucas put down the coffee cup gracefully and said again, “The current priority is to find out how and where that

video came from. Be sure to find out for me.”

At the mention of that, Edmund said helplessly, “Sir, your subordinates have tried investigating this, but nothing

could be found. We confiscated that celebrity’s cell phone right away, and she couldn’t have had the time to get a

backup. Since then, the cell phone has been with you, and no! one else has touched it except for the time we

handed it over to the police for them to collect evidence.”

A look of alertness flashed across Lucas’s eyes. “Does that mean someone touched the cell phone that was in my

possession while I wasn’t paying attention?”

Edmund hesitated for a moment and nodded. “Sir… I do believe that it’s the only possibility.”

Lucas closed the book in his hand. “I’ve always kept my cell phone in the drawer of this study. If anyone touches it,

they have to have broken in here!”

Edmund felt that it was unlikely for a family member to have done it. “Let me think… Only Miss Anya would dare to

enter your study without your permission, and I’m sure it couldn’t have been her. Other people wouldn’t have dared

to come in..

While Edmund was talking, Anya held a plate of pastries and walked in through the door with a smile on her face.

“Lucas! I bought some custard tarts from Fortuna Artisanal Bakers for you to try!”

“How thoughtful.” It was rare for Lucas to see his younger sister smiling so heartily, and even though he was not

interested in sweet pastries, he took a small bite of the tart to taste it.

Anya blinked expectantly. “How is it? Is it delicious?”

He smiled gently and coaxed her, “Of course. You bought them, after all.”

Anya smiled sweetly in return.

The tart’s sweetness began to fill his mouth, and he suddenly stared at his innocent sister for a long time. He was

pensively silent for two seconds, and he then opened his mouth to ask, “Anya, did you enter my study these past

few days and do something with the cell phone in my drawer?”

Anya was startled and asked innocently, “I didn’t. What’s wrong?”

Lucas narrowed his eyes slightly and asked, “Did you know that there’s a smear campaign against Corinne on the

Internet?”

An imperceptible guilty conscience flashed across Anya’s face, and she nodded calmly. “Well, I did hear about it

when I went to have a meal with my friends, but I haven’t read anything yet. Is something wrong?”

Lucas frowned, and his gentle eyes became sullen. “Are you sure you have no clue what’s going

on?”

“I don’t!” Anya shook her head aggrievedly. She had a hurt expression, and her eyes were filled with tears. “Lucas…

Do you doubt me?“
