Jeremy’s cold expression turned even gloomier. “I’ve never forgotten Anya’s kindness, and I will repayit for you.”

“Is that so?” Lucas sneered and glanced at Corinne with a hint of sarcasm.

Jeremy did not seem to have anything to argue about

regarding that issue. He was only polite to the Riveras because Anya had saved him in the past. Withno further remarks, he immediately took Corinne’s hand, led her away, and said, ‘ Let’s go home.”

Rather than leaving, Corinne grabbed his hand in a signal for him to wait a while instead of leaving insuch a hurry.

Jeremy stopped, frowned slightly, and glanced at her. ‘What does she want now?’

However, Corinne merely looked calmly at Lucas as she said, ” Can I ask you something, MisterLucas? Do the Riveras have a tradition where one must always pledge their lives to the person whosaved them?”

Lucas narrowed his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”

Corinne smiled. “Does Jeremy have to pledge himself to your sister because she saved his life? Is it asign of ungratefulness if Jeremy doesn’t do that?”

Lucas kept quiet and waited for her to continue.

Corinne smiled slightly and cocked her eyebrow. “Remember when I saved your grandfather?According to your logic, does. your grandfather have to pledge himself to me, too? Would

that mean you’ll have to call me ‘grandma‘ now?”

It was probably the first time Lucas had ever heard such an impudent remark, and his expressionchanged suddenly as he asked, “What did you say?”

Even Sunny was stunned. ‘What nonsense is Corinne talking about?!‘

Yash and the other boys were stunned at first, then gasped in awe, and finally had to keep themselvesfrom laughing out loud. None of them expected that there someone would have been so brave as totalk to the Rivera’s scion like that. Their worldview changed completely!

Jeremy frowned, glanced at Corinne with a complicated expression, and did not quite like the analogyshe used earlier.

Corinne continued, “What I’m trying to say is, the act of saving a person’s life should always be doneout of the kindness of one’s heart rather than for the sake of showing off, holding a person to emotionalblackmail, or using that person to secure benefits for oneself. Humans have the instinct to go forth andhelp those in need, and those who have a heart will feel drawn to doing it. I trust that a good andconsiderate person like your sister wouldn’t have rescued my man here simply because he was apretty boy, would she?”

Jeremy raised his eyebrows. Though he was pleased to hear her call him ‘my man‘, he did notparticularly like that she called him a pretty boy. He did not know how to react to that statement, and hewondered if she was trying to piss him off too.

Sunny’s gentle and handsome face was full of gloom at the moment, and he remained silent.

Corinne then added, “Jeremy has never been an ungrateful

person, and I don’t want to hear anyone call him that. While it’s true that your sister is Jeremy’s savior,Jeremy never once abandoned your sister. My husband rushed to save your sister when he received acall from her, and she even called him to ask him to send her home. Can you imagine a noble personlike him having to do all that? Hasn’t he been helping your sister whenever she faces a problem?

“If your sister is sick and needs blood transfusions or an organ donation, I firmly believe that Jeremywill feel obliged to donate without any objections. However, subjecting him to emotional blackmail willgive the impression that the Riveras are crass and undignified!”

Lucas was silent. It was the first time in his life that something like that happened to him, and he had noidea what to reply to Corinne.

Meanwhile, Edmund was frustrated because that was also his first time seeing his employer beingscolded by a little girl. Despite wanting to vent his anger on Lucas’s behalf, he did not dare to act rashlyand speak out of turn when Lucas was silent.
