Chapter 511
“I only went to the party because you asked me to. Look, what I’m saying is that it’s fine if you don’t want to give
me a ride home, but you should at least drop me off at a place where I can hail a taxi,” said Corinne.
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “Miss Carew, you certainly have a lot of requests.”
Corinne brazenly looked back at him. “Any boss with a little bit of humanity left in him. wouldn’t have treated their
staff the way you treated me.”
Lucas laughed.
“What’s the matter, Miss Carew? You can’t handle something as simple as this? I seem to recall you telling me that
you’re different from my sister. What was it again?
“That she wouldn’t be able to handle any hardships because she’s a flower grown in a greenhouse while you only
get better with every challenge that comes your way because you’re like the weeds on the sidewalk which won’t die
no matter how much the others tried to kill it?

your way home from this highway.”
Corinne pursed her lips at Lucas’ words. She told herself to endure whatever abuse he threw at her for the sake of
finding out the truth about her mother. After all, that was why she was working for Lucas, no? Therefore, she had to
finish what she started.
With that thought in mind, Corinne forced a smile onto her face. “Okay, Mister Lucas. I won’t disappoint you. I hope
you get home safely and see you tomorrow at the office.”
She then opened the car door and got down without even looking back.
It was illegal for the car to stop on the highway, yet Lucas did just that so he could chase her
out of the car.
“That’s the reason why he took the highway. He had planned this all along! Huh! I can’t believe we even share the
same mother,’ thought Corinne.
After getting out of the car, it did not even take one second for the driver to drive the car away. Edmund-who sat in
the front passenger seat-had a worried look on his face. He looked at the diminishing Corinne from the rearview
mirror and finally could not hold it in any longer.
He turned to look at Lucas and said, “Mister Lucas, I don’t think it’s safe for a girl like Miss Carew to be walking
alone on the highway this late at night.”
Lucas raised his eyes. “Did she get to you too?”
Edmund blushed with embarrassment and quickly shook his head. “No! I’m just worried that

it’ll negatively affect you and the company’s reputation if anything happens to her.”
Lucas smiled mockingly. “Don’t worry. She’s not the kind of woman who would let anything happen to herself.”
‘Not the kind of woman? Just what kind of woman is Mister Lucas talking about?’ Edmund did not understand Lucas’
change of attitude.
When Corinne first arrived, Lucas would worry about whether she was too cold and would instruct Edmund to give

that.
Lucas put away his phone and looked outside the window at the dark sky with mixed emotions.
Earlier, while he was playing cards with Zeke and the others in Lunar Century Manor, Anya called him over on the
phone and showed him the jacket he had lent to Corinne that the servants had picked up in the yard.
According to what the servant said, the location where he found the jacket was right
underneath the second-floor bathroom window. Meaning to say, Corinne was indeed fooling around with Cole in
that room.
‘She must’ve jumped out of the bathroom window and pretended to have come from the outside in order to prove
her innocence after I knocked on the door.
‘She’s so devious and manipulative. What a two-faced hypocrite. She’s definitely not as simple as she seems. Not
only did she effortlessly have Jason wrapped around her little finger, but she used the blackout as an opportunity to
jump into Jeremy’s arms even though she kept saying she didn’t want to ever see him again.
‘Anya is right. Corinne must have an ulterior motive for coming to work for me,’ thought
Lucas.
