Corinne better know her place and never appear in front of Jeremy anymore!
After Jeremy left, Lucas said to the person in the restroom in a cold voice, “Come on out! He’s gone.”
Within seconds, the restroom door opened, and out came Corinne. Being respectful, she said, “Thank you, Mister
Lucas, for appearing in time and getting me out of a tight spot.”
Lucas glanced at him coldly without responding to her. After that, he walked to the bed to check on his nephew,
who was receiving the infusion. He touched the child’s forehead to feel if he was burning or not. Seeing that the
child looked fine, he felt much relieved.
Anya walked up to him. “Lucas, Joey’s fine. The doctor said he’s just a little allergic. You don’t need to have
someone investigate the maids and nanny anymore. It has nothing to do with them.”

manner. “Anya, this is your first time being a mother. You should do your homework. Raising a child. is not easy.
Since you already have a child, you have to take full responsibility for him. After all, Joey is-”
It sounded to Anya as if Lucas was almost going to reveal that Joey was adopted, so she immediately cut him off
and said, “I got it, Lucas. I’ve been reading parenting books recently. I’ll do my best in learning. to be a mother!
Lucas, you’re so busy with work, so why did you rush here? Joey’s fine. Hurry up and go back to your company.
Don’t let your work get delayed!”
When Lucas was back at his company, he could not put his mind at ease. He took care of the urgent matters he
had on hand, then rushed to the hospital to check on the situation.
Seeing that his sister and her child were both fine, he felt relieved. “Anya, you and Miss Rosie should stay here to
keep Joey accompanied. I’ll have someone pick you guys up later.”
Anya nodded. “Mm-hmm. Alright!”
Lucas was almost going to leave, but Rosie still had something important in mind; so she gave Anya a signal with
her eyes.
It was after Anya got Rosie’s signal that she remembered it. “Oh yes, Lucas. It’s our aunt’s birthday tomorrow. Have
you prepared a gift for her?”
Lucas said, “Mm-hmm. I’ve already got it prepared.”
Anya asked again, “How about your partner? You probably haven’t decided, right?”
Lucas’ gaze was intriguing. He glanced at Rosie-who was standing next to his sister and saw her eager and bashful
expression. He then figured out what his sister had in mind. “I already have a partner. You don’t need to worry
about that for me.”
Hearing that, Rosie’s expression visibly changed from bashful to disappointed.

-Anya was surprised. “You already have a partnerxo.com fast update? Who is it?”
Lucas fell silent for a moment, then he called out, “Miss Corinne.”
“Huh?” Corinne was standing at the side, thinking that it was none of her business. However, she was stunned when
her name was called. Why was she Involved?
Then, she saw that Lucas was pressuring her with his gaze.
Corinne was a smart person. No matter how unwilling she was, she had to go along with him. “Yes! That’s right.
Mister Lucas’ partner for tomorrow is me!”
“What?’ Rosie frowned and glared at Corinne with a resentful gaze. It was her!
Anya was taken aback as well. “Lucas, you and Corinne-”
“Alright. You two should stay with Joey.” Lucas waved and did not listen to what his sister wanted to say. He no
longer wanted to stay there anymore. “Miss Corinne, follow me back to the office.”
Corinne said, “Yes, Mister Lucas!”
Corinne sat with proper posture in the front passenger seat as they returned to the Rivera Group.
Sitting in the back, Lucas suddenly asked mockingly, “Miss Corinne, are you that afraid of meeting Jeremy?”
