Her slender and petite figure was blocked by the shelf. Jeremy frowned a little.After he bought everything he wanted, Jeremy did not have the interest to look at other items anymore, so he got up.The owner of the antique store quickly saw him off respectfully. "Thank you for coming, Mister Jeremy. Please come again if you need anything else. I've already had my staff load the vase carefully into your car.""Mm-hmm." Jeremy walked out slowly.Seeing that Jeremy was walking out, Sunny called out to Corinne, and they both left and got into Jeremy's car together.…After they got into Jeremy's car, Corinne sat quietly by the window, scrolling on her phone. Sunny was in between her and Jeremy. Sunny had a temper of a typical child. He could not hold his thoughts in, so he asked curiously, "Jeremy, is the vase you bought just now a birthday gift for my grandfather?"Jeremy looked out the window without any expression, and he only hummed to answer him.Sunny was very happy. "I fig
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 not 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 de
She should just forget it. She had to just endure it for the sake of investigating her mother's past.She would be able to see her mother's parents—in other words, her grandparents—tomorrow. She should be able to inquire about some things that happened back then from her mother's family. She would be able to get one step closer to the truth.When Lucas got to her office's door, he suddenly stopped in his tracks, turning his head a little, and said, "Also, I've thought about it. The sale proposal you did this morning can be executed, so prepare to implement it."After Corinne regained her senses, she smiled very professionally and said, "Alright, Mister Lucas."Lucas did not reply anymore. He just went straight out of her office.Everybody left, so Corinne was the only person left in the office.She sat at their desk and subconsciously touched her belly. It was very flat, and she was not showing up yet. However, why did Lucas's words earlier sound like he already knew she was preg
Sunny crossed his arms, and he even put his legs on Corinne's desk arrogantly, which was a stark contrast to how he dared not make a sound in front of his brother.Corinne, however, did not even bother looking at him. She just concentrated on her work.Seeing that Corinne did not respond, Sunny frowned in dissatisfaction. He sat up straight and knocked hard on her desk. "Hello! Corinne, I'm talking to you!"Corinne glanced at him casually. "What's the matter? You can tell me straight if you want me to help you with your homework!"Sunny blinked awkwardly, then sneered arrogantly. "Did I say I wanted you to help me with my homework?""Oh. I must have read too much into it, then." Corinne did not look at him anymore, continuing to do her work.Seeing that she did not react again, Sunny's air of arrogance got a little weaker. "Corinne, my brother has frozen all of my cards, but there's an important esports competition in Camrod City that I want to participate in at the end of the mo
It was strange. Lucas spent a lot of money hiring various famous tutors for him, but no matter how they broke the questions down to explain to him, he could never understand them. However, after Corinne explained them with the diagrams she drew, he understood it easily!After she was done explaining one question, Corinne slid the paper to Sunny. "Alright. I've explained the question to you. All of these formulas apply to what you'll be tested on now. You need to pick the formulas yourselves for the rest of the questions. You don't have to show it to me after you're done. You can just show it to your brother straight away!"It was so rare for Sunny to be so obedient. He took the practice test that was almost shredded into pieces by his brother earlier and redid the whole thing.Doing his homework next to Corinne was not as nervous and stressful as doing it next to his brother. After Sunny became relaxed, it was easier for him to focus and think. He went from not understanding most of
"Yes, I did it myself." Sunny nodded, then he asked nervously, "Lucas, did I get it right this time?" Unexpectedly, Lucas slammed the test paper on the table. "What I want is for you to improve yourself, not to resort to cheating!"Sunny was frightened. He instinctively took a step back, saying innocently, "Lucas, I didn't cheat!""You didn't even know how to solve one question just now, yet you could solve so much after going out for a while?" Lucas glared at Sunny, feeling disappointed that he failed to live up to his expectations. "Who are you trying to fool?"How could he believe that Sunny did it himself? Not only did Sunny get all the questions wrong, but he was absurdly wrong. Lucas could tell at a glance that Sunny did not even know the basic knowledge at all. That was why there was not even a need to correct his mistakes and explain them to him!At that moment, after he corrected his mistakes on this paper, he almost got 80 percent of the question right. Just with Sunny'
Sunny's haughty voice could be heard coming from the other end of the call. "Hello? Who's this?"Corinne said, "It's me, Mister Sunny."Hearing that it was Corinne, Sunny's tone got slightly better. "Corinne, have you gotten off work?"Corinne said, "Soon. There's another ten minutes to go.""Alright! I'll go over to pick you up now. Get in the car from the alley near the company later. Remember to avoid being seen by my brother!" Sunny reminded her carefully.Corinne had a different interpretation of that. "I'm not doing anything shameful, so why should I deliberately avoid being seen by Mister Lucas?"Sunny stammered a little, "Well, because my brother doesn't like me getting too close to you. I can't let him know it's me who brought you to Grandpa's birthday party! Just avoid him. Otherwise, I'll get an earful from my brother again!"Corinne sneered mockingly. "So that's what it is"Sunny seemed to feel that it was not nice, so he said, "Don't mind it too much. My brother ha
Corinne looked in the direction of Sunny's gaze when she heard what he said. Jeremy just got out of the car. He was in a dark suit, his hair was slicked back, and he had deep-set and well-defined features. He was exuding a mature and dangerous air.She knew she would bump into him there that day, but she just did not expect it would be as soon as she arrived.Sunny got out of the car in excitement. "Jeremy, you're here early too!""Mm-hmm," Jeremy responded, shooting a barely noticeable glance at Corinne, who was getting out of the car after Sunny.Corinne did not look at him. She just looked around, taking in the environment of Lovelace's residence.Sunny said, "Jeremy, my sister is already here. She must be waiting for you! Come on, let's get inside together!"…It was lively in the Lovelace's residence. Quite several guests already arrived. One by one, they surrounded the couch, giving Edgar his gifts and wishing him a happy birthday.Sunny went over with his gift as well. "
