Cedric looked at Corinne with eyes of admiration and awe. “Don’t worry, it’s nothing serious. I just want to see what my young savior looks like.”

Corinne smiled. “Oh, please don’t call me that. I’m not a savior at all. I just happened to be passing by when you were in need of help. Anyone would have done the same thing.”

“Of course you are my savior. If it weren’t for you that day, I would’ve been beaten up by that shameless woman and ended up in the hospital. H*ll, I might even have ended up dead.”

Corinne simply smiled since she did not know what to say.

Cedric smiled happily. “Come and let’s have a talk in the living room, child. Is there anything you would like to eat or drink? I’ll make sure the kitchen only serves the finest for my savior!”

Corinne was speechless. She disliked the Riveras from the bottom of her heart. Even though she was related to them by blood, she could not help but see them as her enemy since not one of them came to her mother’s defense in the past, which resulted in her being cast out of the family. However, she still did not have the full picture of what happened back then so she could not avenge her mother yet.

Cedric insisted she stayed for tea and Corinne failed to extricate herself from his invitation so in the end she simply nodded and agreed to stay and chat which prompted him to immediately order the servants to bring out the good stuff before leading Corinne to the living room.

Jeremy kept quiet throughout their conversation and followed Corinne into the living room. As for Lucas, he was unhappy at the turn of events but knew he could not go against his grandfather’s wishes to drive away an honored guest.

At that moment, Anya came over and asked quizzically, “Lucas, what’s going on? Why is Grandpa calling Corinne his savior?”

Lucas was not in a good mood so he looked coldly at Anya, who felt more and more like a stranger to him, and said angrily, “Anya, you still haven’t explained yourself to me. Go back to your room now and you’re only allowed to come out when you’ve decided to come clean with me! No matter what, you must give me a reasonable explanation by the end of today.”

Anya’s heart sank. ‘So Lucas doesn’t believe me at all? What should I do? What can I say to make him believe me?’

Before going up to her room, Anya threw Corinne a reproachful look. She immediately gritted her teeth angrily when she saw how kind Cedric was being toward Corinne. ‘D*mn you, Corinne! Isn’t it enough you stole my man away from me and now you want to steal my Grandpa too?!”

After they sat down in the living room, the maids immediately brought out some tea and fruit. Cedric looked kindly at Corinne and said, “Child, the last time we met, my eyes still hadn’t recovered from a chemistry experiment that went wrong which caused me to temporarily lose my eyesight. It was only recently that I managed to see things again and I’m so glad to see that you’re as beautiful as I imagined!”

Cedric kept looking at Corinne while nodding his head. For some reason unknown to him, he

took an instant liking to her.

Lucas, who was sitting on the armchair, thought it was inappropriate for his grandfather to stare at a lady like that so he cleared his throat and said, “Ahem. Hey, Grandpa!”
