Chapter 574
Sunny said sheepishly, “Lucas, I got tired after doing the homework this morning, so I went out for a stroll. I wanted
to let my brain take a break for a while.”
“You got tired after doing the homework?” Lucas sneered as if he heard a terrible joke. He squinted his eyes,
looking strict. “You didn’t get a single question right, yet you dare to let your brain rest. If your brain takes any more
rest, it’s going to rot. What’s the difference between that and having no brains at all?”
Sunny hung his head, feeling ashamed. “I-”
Lucas glared at his brother in disappointment. “Go and do your homework now. You at least have to solve two
questions correctly before I return. Otherwise, your card is not going to just be temporarily frozen!”
“Alright. I got it!” Sunny turned around dispiritedly. He was very embarrassed after being reprimanded, so he did
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtnot dare to take another look at Corinne before he left in a hurry.
After Sunny left, Corinne saw that Lucas was still firmly seated at her desk, having no intention to get up and leave
at all.
Corinne entered and asked with a faint smile, “Would you like a coffee, Mister Lucas?”
Lucas was not smiling at all. He just looked at her sternly and indifferently. “Corinne, what exactly do you want to
do?”
Corinne raised her eyebrow. “I’m only asking if you want coffee, Mister Lucas. What else can I
do?”
An indifferent disdain gleamed in Lucas’s eyes. “Miss Corinne, you’re just trying to find your catch by casting your
net to see who’s taking the bait now. You didn’t even spare Sunny, who is still in high school. Don’t you think you’ve
gone over the board? Let me remind you. Don’t waste your effort on him. Even if you truly make that silly boy fall in
love with you, without my permission, you still can’t be a part of the Riveras!”
Corinne smiled. “Mister Lucas, I realized you and your siblings truly belong to a family. The way you judge others is
surprisingly identical. All of you took me for an easy woman who’s exhausting all the ways to find a man so I can
climb the social ladder! Let me make myself clear once again. I only came to the Rivera Group for work. Even if I
have some other intentions, it’s not to marry into the Riveras. Therefore, you may rest assured. I have no interest
in you, much less your brother! Even if you beg me to be a part of your family one day, I won’t say yes!”
Beg her to be a part of the Rivaras? Lucas felt that not only was she overly optimistic, but it was ridiculous. They
absolutely would never beg me!
He did not say anything. He looked at Corinne’s face for a while before moving his gaze
downward. He stared at her belly, which still looked flat, squinting with a cold gaze.
“Corinne, there are some things that I didn’t spell out, but that doesn’t mean I’m clueless about it. The truth will
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmcome to light someday. I hope that you truly know your place. Take the initiative to do whatever you’re supposed to
do, and don’t make me intervene to help you.’
Corinne was stunned. She did not quite understand what Lucas meant. However, she could feel his murderous eyes
staring coldly at her belly, making her feel extremely uncomfortable.
“Your words are too profound. I need to think about it properly.”
“You are a smart person, Miss Corinne. I believe you’ll get the right answer soon. You’d better not disappoint me.”
Upon saying that, Lucas stood up elegantly, not intending to stay in her office any longer.
When he walked past her, he said, “You were absent without leave during working hours. Your pay today is gone.”
Corinne was speechless.
She was dragged out of the office by Sunny to help him pay for the gift earlier. At that moment, her pay was
docked by Lucas. Corinne truly had nothing to say anymore!
As expected, she and the Riveras just simply could not get along!
