it.”xo.com fast update
Sunny nodded confidently. “Yeah! I’m sure she didn’t mean it too. There must be some misunderstanding. I’ll go ask
her about it later.”
Anya was speechless.
‘Unbelievable! My own brother would rather believe Corinne is innocent than to accept the fact that she harassed
me! Did she slip him a love potion or something?’ thought Anya.

be very confident about what kind of person Corinne is. Tell me, did she bribe you with something?”
Sunny felt pressured when he realized just how dark Lucas’ face was. “No… She didn’t, but she helped me out a
few times. and she never asked for a favor in return. I figured someone like that can’t be all that bad!”
“That’s all? What you’re saying is that Corinne is a good person and Anya is lying about what happened?”
questioned Lucas with a cold look in his eyes. ⠀
Sunny shook his head. “No, that’s not what I’m saying. I just think some kind of misunderstanding must’ve
happened
between them. Corinne would never assault Anya! She
definitely isn’t that kind of person!”

The argument between the two brothers seemed to have attracted attention from others.
“Are Mister Lucas and Mister Sunny arguing with each other? I wonder what happened?”
“Miss Anya seems to be caught in the middle. Look, she’s crying!”
“Isn’t Mister Sunny deathly afraid of his brother? Something must’ve happened for him to hold his ground like that.”
“Who knows? They were fine just moments ago.”
Lucas stared at Sunny for a while, deep in thought as a multitude of emotions flashed through his eyes.
‘This half-brother of mine has always been scared of me ever since we were young. In fact, he doesn’t even dare to
breathe too loudly around me. Now, he dares to talk back to me just because of Corinne. Well, I’m glad he’s

He did not want to humiliate Sunny in front of so many people so he decided to give him a way to back down.
“Whether or not what happened today was a misunderstanding, you’re to stay
away from Corinne. In other words, you’re not allowed to talk to her unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
Sunny frowned and stubbornly said, “She’s my friend! I have to talk to her. Sorry, Lucas, but I’m not going to listen
to you this time.”
“You son of a gun!” shouted Lucas angrily.
‘I already gave him a way out, yet he still dares to defy my order. Is it all because of that Corinne?’
Sunny took a deep breath in a bid to shore up his courage. “L- Lucas, don’t forget that Corinne saved grandfather.
Our family is indebted to her so don’t you think it would make us seem a little ungrateful if you forbid me to talk to
her?”
“Why you!”
