“You knew?” asked Lucas with shock.

“Yup,” said Corinne nonchalantly.

“When did you know?” asked the confused Lucas.

“Not long after I met you.”

Her answer confused him even more. “Then why didn’t you tell me?”

Corinne curled her lips into a mocking smile. “Would you have believed me if I told you then? Haven’t you always

seen me as a wanton social climber? Think about it… What would you think if I suddenly tell you I’m actually the

long-lost sister who you’ve been looking for all this time? You’ll most likely see me as a devious woman who’s willing

to lie and cheat my way into your family, right?”

Lucas’ immediately tensed up because he knew he had behaved absolutely horribly toward Corinne in the past. “I

admit I did hold some biases against you then and I shouldn’t have done that. I’m sorry, Corinne. Can you please

accept my apology?”

Corinne put down her spoon and waved her hand. “No. Don’t say sorry to me, Mister Lucas. This isn’t like you. You

should just let things stay as you are. You’re Anya’s brother and not mine!”

Lucas understood Corinne had every good reason to hate him but still he tried to convince her otherwise. “Corinne,

we will forever be tied together by our blood so no matter what you say, I’ll always be your brother.”

Corinne leaned back on her chair and looked at him coldly. “Mister Lucas, you’re right. We are related by blood but

that doesn’t mean anything to me. In fact, we’re nothing but strangers who just so happen to have come from the

same womb. We have nothing in common other than that. You might even say we are two people who live in a

totally different world from each other.”

“I know what I did to you in the past is really unforgivable and you have suffered a lot because of that but can you

please find it in your heart to give me a chance to make it up to you? Please? “begged Lucas.

Corinne chuckled drily. “Let’s cast aside the fact we’re brother and sister for a moment. Mister Lucas, I know you

don’t like to associate with an unruly country bumpkin like me and similarly, I don’t like someone like you who thinks

he’s better than everyone else just because he was lucky enough to be born in a wealthy family. We don’t share the

same values and we don’t have the benefit of having grown up together so there’s really no need for us to force

ourselves into taking up our sibling roles.”

“No… It’s not what you think…” Lucas tried to explain. In all fairness, he actually admired Corinne but because of all

the things that happened between her and Anya, he could not help but hold some prejudice and hostility toward

Corinne.

As for Corinne, she finally knew why Lucas had come to visit her today. ‘So that’s why he has been hounding me for

a meeting…’ Even though she did not know how Lucas found out about her identity, she did not want to waste her

time in listening to him asking her to forgive him.

“Thank you for making me this oatmeal. I’m lucky to have tasted your cooking,” said Corinne with a calm and polite

smile.

“I can make it for you again if you like…” said Lucas softly.

“No, that’s not necessary. Once is enough. Now if you’ll please excuse me, I’m feeling a little tired so I won’t ask

you to stay for lunch. Bowen, please see Mister Lucas off.”

“Yes, ma’am.” Bowen took a step forward and added, “Mister Lucas, this way please.”

Lucas wished to stay a bit longer but could not bring himself to do so after thinking about all the horrible things he

had done to Corinne in the past. Thus, he sighed helplessly, stood up, and said, “I’ll come visit you again another

day.”

“No, thank you. I prefer if you don’t ever come again. Don’t forget, Mister Lucas, I’m now Jeremy’s wife. Your family

and his family has always hated each other so it’s best if we don’t ever contact each other again.”

Lucas was unable to come up with a retort so he simply turned around with resignation. He was walking out of the

dining room when Corinne suddenly called out to him, “Wait!”

Thinking she had changed her mind, Lucas immediately stopped walking and turned around to look at her

expectantly.
