Chapter 671
It was Joey.
Previously, she kept pestering Jeremy to accompany her in adopting a child from overseas. However, the child still
did not have an official name. Lately, she was not interested in taking care of the child herself and has left it to the
nanny to handle all day long. Mostly, she was too lazy to take care of the child!
This child used to have some value for her as a major excuse to cling to Jeremy and briefly hold his attention. But
things are different now. Jeremy already knows that Corinne is carrying his child, so he won’t care about this
adopted child without a blood relationship.
Thus, this child has become a burden, with no utility or value left. Anya never truly loved this child, aside. from

At this moment, Anya is in a bad mood, and looking at this child who is no longer of any use to her only. makes her
angrier! When the child comes over wanting a hug, Anya, devoid of any love, impatiently pushes away Joey, who
was still unsteady on his feet.
“Get away! Stay far away from me! You little brat, all you do is eat and cry all day long. Aren’t you tired of being
annoying?”
Joey fell to the ground, completely shocked and helpless, looking at his mother with a bewildered expression, then
bursting into tears, feeling deeply wronged.
Anya felt annoyed and extremely bothered by the loud crying of the child. In frustration, she reached out and
forcefully pinched and twisted the flesh on Joey’s body.
“Crying, crying, crying! All you know is crying! I have so many people serving you, taking care of your food and
drink every day. What else do you have to cry about? Let me tell you, if it weren’t for my kind heart in adopting you,
you would still be eating scraps in that impoverished orphanage. Would you be able to enjoy such good food now?”
“Don’t be ungrateful! Generally speaking, people of your lowly status have no right to step foot into the Riveras. You
should be grateful to me instead of crying all the time!”
‘That’s enough! Stop crying! Cry some more, and I’ll use a needle to end you! Shut up, do you hear me? Are you
going to cry or not?”
While Anya scolded, she continued pinching and twisting different parts of Joey’s body, venting her pent- up
frustrations.
However, Joey had no understanding of what he did wrong to make his mother angry. He only knew that he was in

The more the child cried, the more fiercely Anya pinched him.
This was not the first time Anya treated Joey like this. Whenever she was unhappy, she liked to vent to the child,
resorting to physical abuse and sometimes even using needles on him multiple times.
Of course, she only did these things when nobody else was around.
Lacking a sense of security and understanding of the world’s rules, Joey believed that he could not resist what his
mother did to him. So even though he cried, he would still seek reliance and call out to Anya as his mother.
“Why is the child crying? What’s going on?” Lucas, hearing the child’s agonizing cries, forcefully pushed the door
open and entered the room!
At this moment, Anya’s hand was still firmly pinching the child.
