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. "
Anya was even deliberately imitating the missing Luna's habits and preferences all these years. She also had a cherry-red mole between her eyebrows as Luna did. She did all that for the sake of replacing Luna's position in her family's heart and letting them pour all their affection for Luna into Anya alone instead!Her brother, Lucas, for example, did it. He treated her as his sister, doted on her, tolerated her, and satisfied her every whim.However, none of the Lovelaces took pity on and loved her because she was a little like Luna.Anya was reluctant to admit defeat, and she did not give up either. She was scheming to ingratiate Edgar and his wife.That was because the Lovelaces were an important family among the wealthy families, and they were also friends with the Holdens for generations. If she was able to win the favor of the Lovelaces, she would gain a lot of connections. She would also have more support in marrying into the Holdens in the future.Therefore, she worked ha
Maxwell felt that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of that gaze and got slightly stunned as he was taken aback.He was attracted by a familiar bearing of the girl who was around Anya's age. He became slightly dazed as if he thought of the past. However, he did not look at the girl for too long, and he walked straight out the entrance.Corinne's gaze did not follow him to continue observing either. Her complicated expression finally returned to calmness.Maxwell once hurt and betrayed her mother, giving her mother no way out but to run away from home with her when she was still at a very young age. That was why Edgar disliked him so much!Corinne had no memories of her father, not even a blurry shadow. She figured this jerk probably did not take good care of her much when she was a child. Therefore, for a child, there was nothing to remember about him! "Emily!"Just when Corinne was spacing out and lost in thoughts, a pair of aged hands suddenly grabbed her
Sunny sighed and explained to her, "My grandma has Alzheimer's, so she often mistakes people for someone else."Corinne nodded, "Oh, I see."At that moment, Gertrude—who already walked off—turned around to look at Corinne, asking, "Emily, what would you like for dinner tonight?"Corinne felt complicated that she was mistaken for her mother. After giving it a thought, she smiled at her and said, "I'll just have my favorite!"Gertrude smiled with tears. "Alright! Pork roast it is. It's your favorite! I'll have Missus O'Brien go and get some pork shoulder now."Edgar turned around and looked meaningfully at Corinne as well, then he brought his wife upstairs for her medication.Feeling a little troubled, Sunny continued explaining to Corinne, "My grandma was diagnosed with Alzheimer's after my father's ex-wife went missing. Her condition is unstable. You weren't frightened just now, were you?"Corinne shook her head. "I'm fine."Maxwell initially already wanted to leave, but he cam
Corinne smiled at him and answered politely, "Hello, Mister Edgar, I am Corinne Carew. I'm twenty this year."Edgar squinted, looking carefully at her as if he was lost in thoughts. "Twenty. Your parents are?"Corinne said, "I come from an ordinary family. You probably don't know my parents, but they are both alive and well. They are living in New Capital City."If Edgar were to ask for more details, she would say her parents are Marvin and his wife. He never treated the Carews as her family, but she did not wish to reveal the true situation with her family there and attract unnecessary suspicion.Edgar nodded. "My wife didn't frighten you, did she? It's because you resembled our long-lost daughter and granddaughter a little that she mistook you for someone else."Corinne smiled calmly. "It's fine. I wasn't frightened. I understand her feelings very well. It's also my honor to bear a little resemblance to your daughter and granddaughter."Edgar looked at the girl before his eyes
