Chapter 442
In the month since she left Jeremy’s place, Corinne hardly heard anyone mention his name in front of her. Xante
and Aaron probably talked about it with each other and came up with the agreement to not bring up anything about
Jeremy in front of her. They even tried their very best to avoid talking about the business they have with Holden
Group.
Corinne told herself that it should not matter if they talked about Jeremy for he was notxo.com fast
updatehing but a stranger to her now. Having said that, she still could not feel the disgust rising from her throat
whenever she heard his name.
Corinne smiled and said, “Kind Sir, do me a favor and don’t ever mention that man’s name
when I’m eating. It just puts me off my food.”
Jason was a little taken aback. He looked at her with interest dancing in his eyes and smiled. Sure thing. Consider it
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtdone.”
She might not have answered his question directly, but her attitude said it all want to have anything to do with
Jeremy anymore.
she did not
Corinne took a sip of the lemon water and found it very refreshing. She proceeded to take a big gulp and smacked
her lips after that. Then it was time to ask the burning question.
“Kind Sir, you mentioned at the gallery just now that you might be able to help me look for Nellie Nymphaea so just
how do you plan to do that?”
Jason poured himself a glass of lemon water and took an unhurried sip before finally answering her, “I don’t plan to
help you look for her.”
The light in Corinne’s eyes immediately became extinguished. She frowned unhappily and asked, “Are you playing
me?”
Jason smiled. “Let me guess, you have half a mind to leave this table when I said I don’t plan to help you look for
her.”
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Since I’m already here, I might as well finish the food before leaving but next time,
don’t ever use this kind of method to trick me into having lunch with you again! I don’t like it!”
Jason looked at her with admiring and probing eyes. “This girl might be quirky but she knows how to handle herself.
I’m quite surprised she didn’t just get up from the table and leave this place.
He liked how she was able to express her dissatisfaction in a way that did not make the other party feel sad or
uncomfortable. ‘She has a beautiful soul, alright.’
Jason decided not to tease her anymore so he said seriously, “Corinne, I didn’t trick you. I can’t help you look for
Nellie Nymphaea but what I can do is to give you an important clue.”
Corinne’s eyes immediately lit up again. She stared straight at him and asked, “What is it?”
“You don’t necessarily have to go through Michel to look for Nellie Nymphaea. It would be better for you to look for
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmher through someone else instead.”
“Well, who is it?” asked Corinne solemnly.
“Lucas Rivera,” answered Jason with a smile.
‘Lucas Rivera? That arrogant prick who has it in for me? Anya’s brother, Lucas?’
Corinne could not help but frown at the mention of Lucas who she thought had a sister complex. “Why him? What
does he have to do with Nellie Nymphaea?”
At that moment, the waiter came over with their food, interrupting their conversation. After putting down all the
food on the table, the waiter left them to their meal and walked away.
Jason placed some food on Corinne’s plate before answering, “From what I know, Nellie Nymphaea is the
pseudonym Lucas’s mother used for her painting. That’s why his place has a lot of her unpublished work. He also
has in his possession a few of Nellie Nymphaea’s most famous paintings.”
A multitude of emotions flashed across Corinne’s face. She was so overwhelmed that she accidentally dropped the
fork in her hand, causing it to hit the table with a clang. ‘Nellie Nymphaea is the pseudonym of Lucas’s mother?
That means Lucas is her son?’
