Corinne frowned. Even though Jason had the information she wanted, she still could not help but hesitate a little.Jason smiled. "Don't worry. I won't reveal your whereabouts to the Holden family and that's including Jeremy."Corinne was a little taken aback. She had no reason to turn down his invitation anymore since he noticed her reservations in her heart and gave her his promise that he would keep her whereabouts a secret."Alright then. I know of this great little Asian restaurant so let's go there. It'll be my treat," said Corinne. She was worried that she would bump into someone she knew if Jason — who was dressed so formally — were to bring her to some high-end restaurant.It would be troublesome for her if she was involved in another scandal and that was why she proposed the Asian restaurant. She knew it would be crowded at this time of the day and it would almost be close to impossible for anyone from Jason's and Jeremy's circle of friends to frequent such a place.Besid

In the month since she left Jeremy's place, Corinne hardly heard anyone mention his name in front of her. Xante and Aaron probably talked about it with each other and came up with the agreement to not bring up anything about Jeremy in front of her. They even tried their very best to avoid talking about the business they have with Holden Group.Corinne told herself that it should not matter if they talked about Jeremy for he was nothing but a stranger to her now. Having said that, she still could not feel the disgust rising from her throat whenever she heard his name.Corinne smiled and said, "Kind Sir, do me a favor and don't ever mention that man's name when I'm eating. It just puts me off my food."Jason was a little taken aback. He looked at her with interest dancing in his eyes and smiled. "Sure thing. Consider it done."She might not have answered his question directly, but her attitude said it all — she did not want to have anything to do with Jeremy anymore.Corinne took a

'So that makes Lucas my brother? How can we even share the same mother when he's so arrogant and mean? This is-'"Corinne?" Jason asked the waiter for a new fork. Then he waved it in front of the zoned-out Corinne.Corinne snapped out of her trance. She frowned and looked solemnly at him. "Jason, are you sure about what you told me just now?""Of course! Don't you remember I told you that I met Nellie Nymphaea when I was little? That's because she and my dad are old friends. The three paintings in my gallery were given by her to my dad many years ago," Jason replied.Corinne had mixed feelings about the answer. 'If my mom is Lucas's mom too then that means I'm connected to the Riveras in some way. I wonder if that family has something to do with my mom going missing.'After observing Corinne's reaction, Jason said thoughtfully, "Corinne, can I ask why you're looking for Nellie Nymphaea?"Corinne did not answer him. She was still reeling from the shock of the news. Her mind was al

After staring at each other for ten seconds, Corinne thought that she should eat the duck meat on her fork. After that, she wiped her mouth and said, "Mister Talbot, thank you for giving me information about Nellie Nymphaea but I have yet to verify the veracity of it. Therefore, I would need to look into it more as for the other matter. Well, let's talk about it again sometime in the future."'She's willing to talk about it?' This was better than Jason expected. At least there was still some hope for him."Corinne, I'm not going to force you but I hope that I'll be the first person that comes into your mind whenever you need someone to help you."Corinne smiled. "I see that you're as kind as ever, Kind Sir. I'll be sure to keep that in mind."The reason she told Jason she would be willing to talk about the matter of their "relationship" sometime in the future was that she knew that he would not stop talking her ears off if she rejected him directly now. She wanted to be spared from

"I bumped into a friend and we had lunch together," answered Corinne."A friend? Who?"Corinne massaged her temples. Then her eyes became sharp. "It doesn't matter who it is. Aaron, I want you to look into the Rivera family. Especially Lucas Rivera. Get me as much information about him as you possibly can.""Yes, boss!" He did not even question why but immediately picked up his phone to make a call.Corinne leaned lazily against the sofa and closed her eyes. She was two months along in her pregnancy and it made her easily tired. She did not seem to have the same level of energy as before.She was living in Thalassa with Aaron for the past month while Xante stayed back in New Capital City to take care of the business. Sometimes, she would visit them in Thalassa.This one month, Corinne looked into her mother's identity but there was no progress. Going by the information Marvin gave her, she searched the entire student database at Thalassa University but there was never a student b

A wealthy family like the Riveras was just like any other wealthy family. All they cared about was money and reputation. With both in their hands, they would be able to prevent the scandals their families were involved in from getting out to the public.Even if words get out of what happened behind closed doors, no media company would be brave enough to expose them. Therefore, only a handful of people possessed insider information about the Rivera family and those people made sure to keep their mouths shut to outsiders.Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Corinne to find out what happened back then if she did not walk into the lion's den, so to speak. She thought that it would be easy to clear up her mother's name since it was confirmed that she did not share the same DNA as Marvin.However, now that she learned that she was rumored to be the child born out of an extramarital affair. Well, that gave her a headache. She could not and would not believe her mother woul

Compared to the pretentious answers given by the candidates before, Corinne's answer was like a breath of fresh air.'Wait a minute. Why does her voice sound so familiar?' thought Edmund. He looked up and his eyes immediately widened in recognition. 'Corinne Carew?!'Corinne smiled amicably at him.Edmund snapped out of his shock and frowned. He reminded himself to be wary of her since her history with both Lucas and Anya were less than desirable."Miss Carew, what are you doing here?""I came here for the interview, of course."The frown on Edmund's forehead became deeper. "You want to be Mister Lucas' executive secretary?"Corinne nodded confidently. "Yup."Edmund did not have a good impression of her. He thought she came here to make trouble for the Riveras so he said coldly, "I'm sorry but, given your past, I don't think Mister Lucas would have to have you as his executive secretary. You may leave now. Next!"Corinne remained seated. "How do you know he wouldn't want me to

Edmund hung up the phone."Miss Carew, please follow me. Mister Lucas would like to see you."Corinne was not surprised. She got up and followed Edmund to Lucas' office. His office was just like his — elegant but cold."Mister Lucas, I've brought Miss Carew here to see you," said Edmund with a bow.There were a few unique handicrafts on the desk and behind the desk was a large office chair with its back facing them. However, Lucas did not turn around even after Edmund greeted him.After bringing Corinne here and greeting Lucas, he then turned around and walked out of the room without being prompted.'I guess his job is to only bring me here,' thought Corinne. She waited patiently for Lucas to turn around but when he did not, she politely said, "Mister Lucas, my name is Corine Carew and I wish to work as your executive secretary."After a few seconds, Lucas finally slowly turned around. He was holding a cup of steaming hot coffee in his hand. His elegance gave him both a dignifie

Corinne walked up to the desk, pulled out one of the chairs, and sat down on it."Mister Lucas, I highly suggest you reconsider your decision."Lucas frowned. He was not happy that she took a seat without his permission."Why should I?"Corinne looked at his handsome face and said matter-of-factly, "While I was waiting for my interview, I helped you assess every candidate that walked in the door. Except for me, all the girls who came did not come for the job. Instead, they came in the hopes of getting close to you. I believe you wouldn't want someone who's trying to climb into your bed to be your executive secretary, right?"Lucas laughed coldly. "That's quite a fair warning, Miss Carew, but the fact that I won't hire them doesn't mean that I'll hire you either. I can hire a man for the job to avoid getting myself into the tricky situation you so kindly warned me about."Corinne expected he would say that. She smiled and continued, "There were a few guys who came for the intervie

'If I leave the office now I'd bump into Anya and Jeremy! What should I do?' thought Corinne.Lucas looked at the panicking Corinne and thought he liked her better this way. 'She's way cuter like this than when she's all huffy-puffy,' he raised his eyebrow and said mockingly, "So the great and mighty Corinne does know how to panic as well."Corinne was speechless. She was not in the mood for Lucas's mockery. 'D*mmit! Of all the things I've expected to go wrong, this is certainly one I didn't see coming.'She banked on the fact that the Holdens and the Riveras were at odds with each other. Therefore, she was confident Jeremy would not appear in the company. She even remembered the bad vibe clashing in the air whenever Jeremy and Lucas were in the same room.'Things must be going well between Jeremy and Anya in the one month I was gone. Maybe the elders have started to accept each other? If that's true, that'll explain why they're getting engaged so soon,' thought Corinne, clenching
