Chapter 459
Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm.
“We didn’t get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It’s an actual marriage in the eyes of the law. Lucas, I
understand that you’re worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life to compensate your sister for what
she lost for me. However, the only thing I can’t give her is marriage and your so-called happiness. I’m sorry.”

Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and glanced at this watch. “I’m done with my lunch. I have a meeting later
in the afternoon, so I’ll first be taking my leave.”
He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for
argument.

“Jeremy! Do you even have a conscience?”
At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and her brother was
angry, but she had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, ” What’s the matter? Where are you
going, Jeremy? I’ve brought the cake. Let’s try it together!”
“No need. I have something to take care of.” Jeremy waved calmly before putting his hand in his pocket. He walked
past Anya without any expression on his face and left with big strides.
“Jeremy!” Anya called out, feeling reluctant to see him leave. However, Jeremy did not look back or stop in his
tracks at all because of that.
In the end, she could only watch his back with great disappointment as he walked out of the restaurant. Then, she
angrily turned her face and looked at her brother with some resentment in her eyes. “Lucas, what exactly did you
say to Jeremy? Why did he leave?”
Lucas stopped frowning and suppressed the anger he felt toward Jeremy. Because he was worried he would scare
his sister, he calmed down as soon as possible and said gently, “It’s nothing. Jeremy left because he has an urgent
matter to attend to at his company. Anya, come and have a seat. Try the cake with me!”
How could he have the heart to tell his sister that the man she loved deeply was not willing to marry her at all?
After the man she loved left, Anya became dispirited. She sat down looking dejected. Even her favorite cake tasted
like nothing in her mouth.
Suddenly, she recalled something important. She turned to look at her brother and asked while pretending to be
casual about it, “Oh yes, Lucas! Why was Corinne in your office today? She was even hiding behind your bookshelf.
She looked like she was up to something fishy no matter how I saw it! I saw that she didn’t want to be found, so I
just pretended that there was a cat there!”

Chapter 459
2/2
Lucas did not plan to hide the matter about Corinne from his sister. While having his food, he said calmly, “She
came to my company to apply to be my secretary today.”
Anya was taken aback. Her doe-like eyes widened because of how surprised she was. “What? Corinne applied to be
your secretary. Did you hire her?”
Just as Lucas was about to answer her, his phone rang. It was Edmund who called.
Looking at the caller ID, Lucas squinted knowingly. He guessed that the client from Abura completely rejected the
collaboration and boarded the plane home.
Abura was a country with the most mineral resources. Losing such a major collaboration would not bring any harm
to the company, but it was more or less still a pity.
Lucas frowned and answered the call. Before he even had the time to say hello, Edmund could not hold back his
excitement and said, “It’s done, sir! Corinne and the client from Abura have reached a deal. They will go to the
company tomorrow morning to sign the contract for collaborating with you for the next ten years!”
