Chapter 1031

Both Cedric and Beatrice sighed as the police took away Anya. How could they not feel crestfallen that the granddaughter they loved and spoiled for so many years had fallen so far to the point of being jailed?However, they also knew Anya was no longer a child, so she must bear the consequences of her actions. Lucas, too, felt conflicted about Anya being taken away, but she had gone too far this time.He turned to Corinne. As much as he was relieved to see she was still alive, his heart ached when he saw her bandaged head. He could not help but wrap her up in a bear hug."Thank god you're still alive, Corinne! I was almost scared to death when I got the news…"Corinne did not put up a struggle. She did not hate Lucas as much as before but nor did she accept him fully. She simply stood quietly, enduring the hug.Except for the cut on her head, she was fine. Ever since she was nearly hit by a car three days ago, she knew she had to do something to protect herself as there was a high

Jeremy looked at Francine with half-narrowed eyes and an indecipherable expression.Francine had seen how Jeremy broke down after receiving news of Corinne's death, so she knew just how important she was to him. She also understood Jeremy must be feeling all sorts of emotions, so it was best for her to give the couple some space.Corinne walked up to him. "Hey, Mister."Only when she got closer did she realize Jeremy was holding an unlit cigarette between his fingers. She did not know why, but it seemed like it had been a long time since Jeremy smoked.Jeremy threw the unlit cigarette to a trash can not far away before taking off his jacket and putting it around Corinne's shoulders. After that, he silently turned and left.Corinne frowned and followed after him.As dense as Francine could be sometimes, even she could tell something was off about the way her brother and sister-in-law interacted with each other. Not daring to walk too close to them, she waited until they were a few

Edmund was about to follow Lucas out, but Beatrice grabbed his arm to stop him. "Stay here with us, Edmund.""Umm, I don't think…" said Edmund awkwardly.At that moment, all Lucas could think about was Corinne's condition, so he did not realize Edmund did not follow him out.As soon as Lucas was out of earshot, Beatrice asked, "Edmund, tell me the truth now! How did Lucas injure his foot? Is it serious?"Edmund did not want to worry Beatrice by leaving her there, even though the room they were in was not a real morgue but a room the hospital set up to look like one. It had been left unused for many years, so it was quite dank and dark. It was not the best place to leave two elderly people with frail health."Ma'am, Mister Lucas' injury isn't that serious. He only needs some rest, and he'll be good as new. Besides, he's not the type to take his health lightly. There's really no need for you to worry about him.""Stop giving me the roundabout, Edmund. I'm asking you how Lucas injur

Edmund never felt pressure like this before. "Sir, it's because…"Cedric glared at him. "You better not play dumb and tell us the truth. There'll be hell to pay if I detect a lie in your words!"'I can't keep it a secret anymore. They're going to find out sooner or later…' thought Edmund. He sighed helplessly and said, "It's because Miss Corinne is—""It's because she's your savior, Grandpa. We owe her that much," Lucas chimed in just in time.Cedric and Beatrice turned toward the door and saw Lucas limping back in with the help of his crutches.Edmund sighed in relief. Faced with Cedric's immense pressure, he nearly blurted Corinne's secret!Lucas limped up to Cedric and passed him a bottle of medicine. "Here's the blood pressure medicine you've asked for, Grandpa."Both Cedric and Beatrice were speechless. 'How did he get back so fast?'Lucas did not actually get the medicine himself. Halfway through, he suddenly realized Beatrice had sent him away on purpose, so he called hi

Chapter 1035

Lucas was afraid it would cause Corinne a lot of trouble if Pamela and Greg were to find out who she was. He failed to protect her before, so this time, he vowed to protect her at all costs.Meanwhile, in one of the high-end private hospital wards, Pamela was sleeping under the sedative's influence. She was frowning in her sleep as though she was having a nightmare.Greg was sitting in his wheelchair by the bed, looking at her worriedly. He knew his wife would ask about Corinne the moment she woke up, so it was best to let her sleep as long as she could.'Poor Corinne. Gone at such a young age…' he thought with a sigh."Hey, Grandpa Greg. How's Grandma Pamela doing?" asked Corinne from behind him.At that moment, Greg was so focused on Pamela that he did not recognize the voice to be Corinne's. Instead, he thought it was Francine who was asking."It'll take her some time to wake up," he replied as he turned around.He immediately jumped in fright when he saw who was standing beh

Seeing this, Corinne quickly helped Pamela up. She propped up her pillow behind her so it would be more comfortable for her to lean against the headrest.After settling herself, Pamela patted Corinne's hand. "Corinne, why didn't you tell me you were pregnant? I would've still been kept in the dark about it if it weren't for what happened today."Corinne smiled and explained, "I didn't mean to keep it a secret from you. I just didn't want you to worry about me and…stopping me from doing all sorts of things to keep the baby safe."Pamela frowned. "We're family. How can I not worry about you and the baby? You're both equally important to me! Look what happens when I'm not there to stop you from doing things! You got hit by a car, for god's sake! Fortunately, you're still alive. I don't think I can handle losing you and the baby."Corinne nodded docilely. "Okay, I promise you I'll listen to everything you say from now on."A smile finally appeared on Pamela's face. 'Thank god both she

"Hey, Mister," Corinne called out to Jeremy softly as she walked toward him.Jeremy turned to look at her and put out the cigarette silently.Corinne looked up at him. "Why are you hiding and smoking here all alone? Don't you wanna know how your grandmother is doing?"Jeremy narrowed his eyes. There was no obvious change to his expression. "How is she doing?""She's already woken up and eaten something. She's actually doing pretty well.""Good," uttered Jeremy emotionlessly.Corinne was not used to him acting like this. "Are you angry at me for interrupting your smoking session?" she asked with a frown.Jeremy simply looked at her silently.Corinne waited for him to answer her question, but it was all in vain."Well, I'm sorry for bothering you," she said testily. "You can carry on what you were doing 'cause I'm going to go back now."After that, she turned around and was about to leave when Jeremy suddenly asked in an inscrutable tone, "Was it fun?"Stunned, Corinne stopped

Chapter 1038

Corinne could still feel Jeremy trembling slightly. 'Seems like he's still traumatized by what happened…'In some twisted way, she felt rather touched as no one ever cared that much about her before. After Emily went missing, Corinne was treated worse than a stray by the people who were supposed to take care of her."Mister, what would you do if I truly died back there?"…Phoebe, who was in the apartment, had settled down with a sheet mask on her face as she awaited good news from Anya. She thought their plan would work for sure this time, so she was understandably surprised when she received the news of Anya's arrest.'Lucas, Mom, and Dad all knew about Anya's arrest, yet they did nothing about it? Does that mean they've given up on her? Oh no, what should I do?! What should I do?!'She never expected Corinne would fake her death to trick Anya into exposing her true self.Phoebe kept pacing around in circles until the sound of her phone ringing brought her back to the present.

Joey fell backward from the force of impact and immediately cried."You mutt! How dare you spy on me?!" roared Phoebe."I… I…not spying on you," whimpered Joey.He really was not spying on her. He wanted to go out to the living room but was not sure whether it was safe for him to do so. He thought he would observe the situation outside first.Phoebe, who already thought of Joey as a nuisance, became even more irritated at him due to the anxiety and anger brought on by Anya's arrest. Thus, she decided to use him as a punching bag.She kicked him again. "This is all your fault! Nothing ever went right for Anya after she adopted you. We should've thrown you away the first chance we got!"Joey immediately curled up in pain.Almost every day, he would receive some kind of beating. Whenever Anya was upset, she would take it out on him. However, she would make sure to hit him on the parts of his body that would not be easily noticed should a bruise form. She was worried Lucas would fin

Chapter 1040

Sunny wiped away his tears with his arm and said chokingly, "But Mom, you should hear all the mean things she said about me, Lucas, Rosie, Francine, and even Jeremy! Not to mention, all the bad things she did over the years."I used to think she was the kindest and sweetest person in the world and that she deserved all the happiness in the world. That was why I hated Corinne so much 'cause she stole Jeremy away from Anya. That was why I kept causing trouble for her."So you can't blame me for saying Anya got what she deserved! She took advantage of our love and trust for her and hurt so many people in the past. She only has herself to blame. Neither I nor you can help her at this point!"I came here to find you to convince you to go along with Grandpa's arrangement. Go live in the summer villa, and take the time to do some self-reflection. You can come back once Grandpa, Grandma, and Dad have cooled down. But you should really give up the idea of getting Anya out. She needs to pay f
