Corinne raised her eyebrow and smirked at Lucas. “What makes you think I care about how you treated me before?

Lucas fell silent. He hated himself so much for how badly he treated Corinne, and it would make sense if Corinne would not want to accept him as her brother. As much as he knew Corinne wanted to do with him or the entire Rivera family, he wished for nothing more than for her to come back home so he could make amends.

Lucas sighed and asked gently, “Corinne, what can I do to make you forgive me and to make you come home?”

Corinne was unmoved by his rare display of submission, even though it was so different from his usual arrogant attitude.

“Mister Lucas, I’ve said that I don’t blame you for all the misunderstandings or how you

treated me. To me, you were just a stranger who happened to share the same blood with me, and now, we’re just acquaintances at the most. And as strangers, I find it normal that you’d be suspicious or even hate me, so there’s no need to lower your pride and beg me for forgiveness. That’s not a good look on you.”

Lucas was speechless, and he never felt so lost before.

Get it through your head that I’ll never come back to live here or see any one of you as my family. This doesn’t have anything to do with how you treated me previously,” added Corinne. “From what I know, your grandparents thought I was a child born out of another man that isn’t your father. They even took me to do a paternity test to force my mother to leave, so why should I take up the Rivera name?”

Lucas’ eyes focused on this. “You remember what happened years ago?”

“How could she remember all that mess when she was so little then?’ wondered Lucas.

“I don’t remember, but I’ve looked into the matter. Right now, I only know the surface of it, but I swear to make the person who wronged my mother pay once I find out who it is! As for you, Mister Lucas, you and your entire family are accomplices to the culprit who forced my

mother to leave.”

Lucas’ eyes started to tremble. After a brief silence, he sighed and said, “Corinne, you don’t have to keep digging into the matter anymore. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”

Corinne’s eyes lit up. “Really? Tell me now who it was that soiled my mother’s name.”

Lucas looked at her with eyes filled with mixed emotions. “No one soiled her name, because all the evidence back then pointed to our mother making a mistake she shouldn’t have.”

Corinne’s eyes darkened. “Evidence? Ha! That means you think I’m an affair baby, too?”

Lucas shook his head. “No, you’re not. You’re my sister, true and true, but…our mother did make a mistake then, so no one wronged her.”

Corinne scoffed. “Oh shut it, Mister Lucas. Please don’t call yourself my brother or call me your sister. I’m not your sister! Your sister is Anya. Don’t get me mixed up with her!”

“What a joke he is! I don’t want an older brother who doesn’t believe in our mother. No way

am I going to believe my mother is someone who’ll have an affair. They couldn’t have found. anything that indicated that. Besides, someone could’ve planted the evidence if they were hellbent on framing my mother!’ thought Corinne.

Lucas’ eyes dimmed. “Listen, what…”

However, before he could say what he wanted to say, Corinne cut in, “Excuse me, but I’m tired. now, so I’m going to go downstairs to ask Grandpa Cedric to allow me to rest in the guest room. Move aside, Mister Lucas.”

Lucas sighed helplessly. “You can rest in this room if you’re tired. No one will bother you here. I’ll come get you when it’s dinner time, Lu-”
