Chapter 704
“Grandpa, you’re back!” Anya immediately ran up to her grandfather upon seeing him returning, wiping away her
tears in an aggrieved manner.
Cedric Rivera glanced at his granddaughter, whose eyebrows were furrowed and had reddened eyes. “What’s the
matter? How did you end up crying again? You’re such a child, always complaining about this and that, or crying,
endlessly over trivial matters! Your grandmother and 1, at our age, have never been as difficult to please as you!”
“…” Anya trailed off.
She had hoped to receive comfort and support from her grandfather, but instead, she was met with a lecture full of
disdain. Anya felt embarrassed and could not find a way to respond.
Although she had been pampered at home since childhood, with her parents, older brother, and younger brother

her older brother Lucas and younger brother Sunny. She always felt that her grandparents favored boys over girls.
“Grandpa, I didn’t cry on purpose. It’s because someone came to our house and caused trouble today…”
“Grandpa, it was just a small incident that’s been resolved. You don’t need to worry,” Lucas. walked over, forcefully
interrupting Anya’s attempt to express her grievances to their grandfather. He gave Anya a stern gaze and
addressed Cedric, “Grandpa, you’ve had a long day. Let them assist you in going upstairs to rest.”
Cedric did not like the sight of this talented eldest grandson either and snorted. “I think this girl is spoiled by you, my
boy! She’s become so fragile, crying over every little thing. She could. break from a gust of wind!”
His words made Lucas’ brow furrow, and he started to reflect on whether he had truly spoiled his sister all these
years….
Seeing that there was nothing unusual in the kitchen and not wanting to delve deeper, Cedric gestured for his
attendants to assist him and prepared to go upstairs to rest.
As Cedric turned to leave, the people in the kitchen dispersed.
Corinne yawned wearily. “Mister, it’s getting late. Let’s go home and sleep.”
The man looked down at her, his heart aching as he furrowed his brow. “Is that it?”
Knowing that the man was referring to being wrongly accused of murder by the Riveras,
Corinne shrugged indifferently. “Well, forget it. We can’t wake someone who’s pretending to be clueless anyway.”
Corinne was referring to none other than Lucas.
As a shrewd and quick-witted CEO, he feigned ignorance, even though he knew very well that the situation might
very well be his sister’s fault. He wanted to downplay the seriousness of the matter to protect her.
Lucas, who was escorting his grandfather out of the kitchen, suddenly stopped and turned back, narrowing his eyes
as he looked at Jeremy and Corinne.

in his eyes. However, since his grandfather had not gone far yet, he could not express his true feelings.
Meanwhile, Anya, who was still in the kitchen, stared at Jeremy and Corinne. She watched as her beloved man
spoke softly and kindly to another woman, and her heart burned with jealousy, corroding and bubbling like sulfuric
acid
All her carefully planned actions today had gone to waste
Why should Corinne always be able to turn danger into safety? D*mn it!
While Corinne no longer wanted to dwell on it, Jeremy did not plan to let the matter rest. The Riveras had wrongly
accused her and bullied her, and this was not the first nor the second time! They needed to be taught a lesson, or
they would not understand the severity of the situation! :
However, Jeremy did not intend to waste any more time in the Riveras’ residence. His priority was to take the
exhausted Corinne home. They could deal with the Riveras later.
Jeremy followed her lead and said, “Alright, let’s go home.”
