“Lucas!”

Anya’s eyes immediately reddened. She wrapped her arms around Lucas’ legs and burst into heaving

sobs.

Her sudden outbursts shocked him. Frowning, he asked, “Why are you crying? Does your leg hurt? Don’t worry. I’ll

bring you to the hospital right away!”

Some problems had arisen within the company, so Lucas had been in a phone meeting in another room. upstairs

the entire time. He did not know what had happened downstairs.

“No… It’s not my leg… It’s…”

“What’s wrong? You can tell me.”

Lucas bent down and stroked her back to try to calm her down.

Anya kept crying. She wanted him to think she was too heartbroken to speak properly.

Seeing that she was too overwhelmed to speak, Lucas turned to Rosie and asked, “Rosie, what happened.

to Anya?”

Rosie became a little shy whenever Lucas was around. After thinking about it, she answered, “Lucas,

Corinne bullied Anya again. That girl has really gone overboard this time.”

“Her again? What did she do this time?” Lucas asked with a frown.

“You know how she was the one who pushed Anya down the stairs, right? Seeing that Anya couldn’t go up the stage

anymore, I asked Corinne to stand in for her to sing ‘Farewell, My Love’, but everything went downhill after that.

Mister Edgar found out Anya lied to him about who really sang the song, and she got a really bad scolding from

him.

“Corinne must’ve pulled some dirty tricks after that. Mister Edgar announced to everyone that he had taken her in

as their honorary granddaughter right after that. As a result, Mister Edgar shunned Anya, telling her to never show

her face around him again. Do you see why Anya is so sad now?”

Lucas was a little shocked. ‘What? Grandpa took in Corinne as his honorary granxo.com fast

updateddaughter? Why would he do that when he just met her for the first time? This doesn’t sound like his usual

cautious self.

“I have to hand it to Corinne. I can’t believe she managed to make Grandpa like her so much in such a .short time.

She must have an ulterior motive behind all this… What could it be?’

“Where is Corinne now?”

“She’s probably still with Mister Edgar and Madam Gertrude. Lucas, be careful of her. She’s the type who’d do

anything to achieve her goal. You must stop her. Otherwise, she’ll think she can get away with anything now that

she has their support. This also means Anya will forever have to live under her thumb.”

Lucas narrowed his eyes, cocked his head at the door, and ordered, “Edmund, bring Corinne to me.”

Back in Edgar’s study, Corinne played chess with Gertrude. She hoped the game would stimulate the old lady’s

brain and help slow down her Alzheimer’s. Meanwhile, as the star of the party, Edgar was still in the banquet hall

with the guests. Sunny was in the study too, and he would help Gertrude with the game from time to time.

Suddenly, someone knocked on the study door.

“Who is it?” Sunny asked.

Edmund recognized Sunny’s voice and immediately said, “It’s me, Mister Sunny.”

Sunny immediately felt guilty when he found out Edmund was standing outside the door. “Umm… What can I help

you with, Edmund?”

‘Did Lucas ask him to drag me back to do my homework?”

“Is Miss Corinne inside? Mister Lucas asked me to bring her to him. He has something he wanted to talk. to her

about,” Edmund replied.

Sunny heaved a sigh of relief after hearing that.

He pointed his chin at Corinne and said, “Hey, Lucas is looking for you.”

Corinne put down her chess piece and got up. “Grandma, Sunny will stay here with you while I step out for a

moment, okay?”

Seeing she was about to leave, Gertrude became a little anxious. She, too, stood up and followed her behind.

Corinne went over, put her hand on Gertrude’s shoulder, and said gently, “Don’t worry, Grandma. I’ll still be close

by. I’ll come back later to continue playing with you.”

Gertrude was still worried, but she nodded like a docile little girl. “Come back quickly, okay?”

Corinne smiled. “Sure thing. I’ll be back before you know it.”

After that, she left the study. Sunny sat down in her seat and flipped the chess board, “Grandma, this isn’t fun at all.

Let’s play Go instead!”
