Chapter 789

‘Oh that’s right. Corinne taught me a formula at Lucas’ office last time. Yes, this all makes sense now,’ thought

Sunny. It was like he saw the answer revealed before his eyes. However, not wanting to let Corinne know she won,

he simply muttered, “Hmph! I don’t need you to teach me.”

Corinne did not mind his attitude. She put down the pen and said, “I’m going to the

bathroom, and if you still haven’t figured out the answer after I come back… Well, don’t blame me for laughing at

you then, Mister Sunny.”

After that, she went into the attached bathroom in Sunny’s room.

Sunny scoffed at the closed bathroom door one last time before turning his attention back to the math question. He

tried to solve it by using the formula Corinne taught him last time when

Knock! Knock! Someone knocked twice on his door.

A chill immediately ran up Sunny’s spine as he thought it was Lucas who came to check on his homework.

“Sunny, are you in there?”

Sunny breathed a sigh of relief when he recognized the voice to be his mother’s.

“Yes, Mom. Come in. I’m just doing my homework.”

Phoebe opened the door and walked in. “Sunny, why haven’t you finished doing your homework?”

Sunny scratched his head. “The homework Lucas gave me today is a little hard…so that’s why it’s taking me so

long.”

Phoebe sighed and walked over to him. “Sunny, you should work harder on your studies. How can I face your

grandparents if you fail to get into college again this year?”

Sunny frowned. “What does that have anything to do with whether or not you can face my grandparents?”

Phoebe was not pleased. “Of course it does! We could’ve pulled something to get you into one of the better

colleges, but your brother wouldn’t allow it. He said no Rivera will sully the family’s name by being a slacker who

has to use connections to get into college, and he insisted that you get in by your own effort. You failing to get into a

good college this year will just prove the son I gave birth to isn’t as smart as the son your father’s ex-wife gave birth

to.”

“But Mom…” Sunny was starting to get annoyed by this. “It is what it is. We all know that Lucas is better than me in

every way.”

“And that’s why I’m asking you to study harder!” said Phoebe in frustration. “Do you know how much I’ve been

suffering all these years? Why, your father and your grandparents would’ve treated me worse if it weren’t for your

sister. Sunny, my only hope for you is to take over the family business so that one day, I don’t have to suffer

anymore.”

“But Mom… I’ve told you I have no interest in taking over the family’s business. Plus, I don’t want to fight over the

inheritance with Lucas. We all know Lucas will run the company better

than I do, so I might as well do something I’m passionate about instead.”

“What are you passionate about? You mean all those computer games you spend your whole day playing? Sunny,

when are you going to make me stop worrying about you? Don’t you know that we’ll be chased out of the family

once your dad is gone? And the only way to prevent that from happening is to take over the family business!”

“Mom, Lucas would never do something like that. If he’s wary about me, he wouldn’t have spent all his time trying

to get me to study or put me to such a high standard!”

Phoebe frowned. “Speaking of this… Don’t you find it weird that your academic score hasn’t improved at all, even

though Lucas has been tutoring you all these years? There’s a chance he’s been purposely teaching you the wrong

thing… I mean, how else can you explain why you can’t even get into the lesser-known college?”

“Umm… I don’t think Lucas is the problem,” said Sunny with shame. “It’s all my fault. You just have to accept the

fact that your son is stupid.”

Phoebe nearly blew her top at this useless son of hers. “Sunny, think about it. You and Lucas didn’t come from the

same mother, so how sincere do you think he can be with you? You should know the only people in the world you

can trust are me and Anya. Only we will want what’s best for you, so you have to listen to us!”
