A wealthy family like the Riveras was just like any other wealthy family. All they cared about was moneyand reputation. With both in their hands, they would be able to prevent the scandals their families wereinvolved in from getting out to the public.

Even if words get out of what happened behind closed doors, no media company would be braveenough to expose them. Therefore, only a handful of people possessed insider information about theRivera family and those people made sure to keep their mouths shut to

outsiders.

Under such circumstances, it would be impossible for Corinne to replace out what happened back then ifshe 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 would ever be amistress so she vowed to get to the bottom of the truth. She must clear her mother’s name and takerevenge on those who spread lies about her.

“Boss, aren’t you worried the Holdens would replace you if you go back to New Capital City? I have areliable source telling me that Mister Jeremy is still looking for your whereabouts,”

said Aaron.

“The best place to hide is in plain sight. They’ll never expect me to be right under their nose. Besides, Ican’t give up looking for my mother just because of that.”

Suddenly, she remembered the news she saw on the TV a moment ago. She frowned and scoffed. “Sowhat if he found me? It’s not like I owe him anything. Plus, I heard he’s getting engaged to Anya soon.He’s probably hunting me down so that he could give me an invitation to their party.”

Aaron was surprised to hear the news of the engagement but his surprise quickly turned to anger andcontempt. ‘I can’t believe I used to think he was a good guy. A guy that the boss can live happily withfor the rest of her life. Well, he certainly proved me wrong. How can he get engaged with anotherwoman when it has only been a month since the boss left him? It’s a good thing the boss has alwaysbeen the rational type and didn’t fall too hard for him.’

“Alright, boss. I’ll go pack up our things and ask Xante to send someone to pick us up.”

“Thank you,” Corinne said. Then leaned back on the sofa and closed her eyes.

‘It’s best for Xante to send someone to pick us up. Taking public transportation might leave our tracks,’she thought. She was not afraid Jeremy would replace her but she still wanted to avoid the possibility ofrunning into him. For some reason unknown to her, she would get into one trouble or another whenevershe was involved with the Holden family.

A few days later.

At the Rivera Group’s headquarter, the Human Resources department.

Edmund was interviewing the candidates one by one. The requirements for this job were higher thannormal since the new hire would be acting as the executive secretary to the president.

The candidates would be judged based on their qualifications, their looks, and how well they presentthemselves. Those who passed the first round of screening would then meet with Edmund Lucas’ right-hand man who had the final say on who to hire.

–

Edmund already interviewed more than a dozen applicants and his disappointment seemed to grow inproportion to the number of applicants he interviewed.

‘None of them would even last one day with Mister Lucas. It’s so hard to replace someone he likes. Notonly do they have to be capable but they have to be discreet and have no ulterior motives.’

Most of the applicants were women and all of them were dressed like they were going to a partyinstead of a job interview. Plus, the heavy makeup on their faces did not give them any brownies pointsat all.

‘It’s obvious they’re not here for the job but for Mister Lucas! I’ll get an earful from him if I hire someonewho only wants to climb into his bed instead of doing her job well.”

Edmund looked at the voluptuous woman sitting in front of him. She was playing with her hair andshowing off her cleavage. He waved his hand impatiently and said, “I’m sorry but you’re not suitable forthis job. Next!”

A few seconds later, Corinne walked in and sat down on the chair.

By that point, Edmund was sick of all the women who had nothing to show off but their make-

up skills. He lowered his head and pinched the center of his brows as he asked absent- mindedly, “Tellme, why did you apply for this position?”

“Because the money being offered is good.”
