After she calmed down, Corinne walked back and sat on the sofa hand-in-hand with Jeremy. “Mister Lucas, you

don’t even live here. Why would you keep a dog here?” she asked curiously.

Lucas stroked Ralphy’s head. “He’s not mine.”

Corinne raised her eyebrow. “But he lives here.”

“A friend of mine went on an overseas trip and asked if Ralphy could stay in this apartment for the time being,”

explained Lucas patiently. “Someone will come every day to feed and walk him, while I’ll drop by from time to time

to make sure he’s okay.”

To Corinne, Lucas was a person who had a very strong class consciousness. He would never do something that did

not benefit him, so why would he agree to take care of his friend’s dog?

“Which friend is this? Is it a man or a woman?” asked Corinne curiously.

Lucas was a little surprised Corinne would ask him those questions, but he smiled nonetheless. “So you’re finally

interested in my personal life?”

Corinne frowned and twisted off the cap of her soda bottle. “I was only asking for the fun of it. You can choose not

to answer if you don’t want to.”

Lucas would not dare to not answer Corinne’s question, of course. “It’s a woman.”

Corinne narrowed her eyes. “And are you two dating?”

Lucas shook his head. “No. We’re just friends.”

Corinne pursed her lips, tasting the sweetness of the soda. “I don’t believe you.”

After all, why would someone like Lucas be willing to take care of Ralphy if his owner was just a ‘friend’?

‘There must be more to their relationship than just a friend,’ she thought.

Lucas smiled. “I’m telling the truth. Plus, she’s already married.”

Corinne frowned. “I can’t say I condone this behavior of being a homewrecker.”

Lucas frowned. “Trust me, nothing is going on between us. Plus, you’ll be the first to know if I’m dating anyone.”

Corinne pouted. She suddenly lost all interest in the topic. After giving her awful soda to Jeremy, she got up from

the sofa and called Ralphy over to the balcony to play with her.

At that moment, only Jeremy and Lucas were left in the living room.

Lucas leaned back on the sofa tiredly. “How’s Holden Group’s share price now? Did you manage to get everything

under control?”

Jeremy took a sip of Corinne’s soda before answering, “Yes. It was difficult, but not something unmanageable.”

It was rare for Lucas to show kindness to Jeremy. “Let me know if you need any help. I’ll get Edmund to do anything

that needs doing.”

Jeremy was surprised. He then looked at him with a raised eyebrow and a new perspective. “Mister Lucas, in what

capacity are you talking to me now? As Corinne’s brother?”

“My family must bear the responsibility for your company’s falling share price since Anya was behind the online

scandal. And you know, one thing led to another…” Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose tiredly. “Of course, I

wouldn’t have wanted you to be my brother-in-law, but since Corinne chose you, I have no choice but to respect her

choice.”

Jeremy chuckled softly. “Mister Lucas, where are your principles? Remember how you kept pressuring me to take

responsibility for Anya, the apple of your eye? How can you change your stance just because you found out Corinne

was your long-lost sister? Do you really think Corinne would be grateful to you just because of this?”

Lucas did not know what to say. He knew he was being contradictory, and this caused him endless regret. “Sorry. I

admit that I was wrong back then.”
