Lucas was right, but Jeremy was still calm.

“We didn’t get registered in time, but we had a wedding. It’s an actual marriage in the eyes of the law.Lucas, I understand that you’re worried about your sister. I will use the rest of my life to compensateyour sister for what she lost for me. However, the only thing I can’t give her is marriage and your so-called happiness. I’m sorry.”

Having said that, Jeremy raised his wrist and glanced at this watch. “I’m done with my lunch. I have ameeting later in the afternoon, so I’ll first be taking my leave.”

He stood up, turned around, and left, leaving no room for

argument.

Seeing how unwaveringly cold he was, Lucas could not hold himself back anymore. He stood upangrily and said, “Jeremy! Do you even have a conscience?”

At that time, Anya happened to return with the cake. She saw that Jeremy was about to leave and herbrother was angry, but she had no idea what happened. Looking confused, she asked, ” What’s thematter? Where are you going, Jeremy? I’ve brought the cake. Let’s try it together!”

“No need. I have something to take care of.” Jeremy waved calmly before putting his hand in hispocket. He walked past Anya without any expression on his face and left with big strides.

“Jeremy!” Anya called out, feeling reluctant to see him leave. However, Jeremy did not look back orstop in his tracks at all because of that.

In the end, she could only watch his back with great disappointment as he walked out of the restaurant.Then, she angrily turned her face and looked at her brother with some resentment in her eyes. “Lucas,what exactly did you say to Jeremy? Why did he leave?”

Lucas stopped frowning and suppressed the anger he felt toward Jeremy. Because he was worried hewould scare his sister, he calmed down as soon as possible and said gently, “It’s nothing. Jeremy leftbecause he has an urgent matter to attend to at his company. Anya, come and have a seat. Try thecake with me!”

How could he have the heart to tell his sister that the man she loved deeply was not willing to marry herat all?

After the man she loved left, Anya became dispirited. She sat down looking dejected. Even her favoritecake tasted like nothing in her mouth.

Suddenly, she recalled something important. She turned to look at her brother and asked whilepretending to be casual about it, “Oh yes, Lucas! Why was Corinne in your office today? She was evenhiding behind your bookshelf. She looked like she was up to something fishy no matter how I saw it! Isaw that she didn’t want to be found, so I just pretended that there was a cat there!”

Lucas did not plan to hide the matter about Corinne from his sister. While having his food, he saidcalmly, “She came to my company to apply to be my secretary today.”

Anya was taken aback. Her doe-like eyes widened because of how surprised she was. “What? Corinneapplied to be your secretary. Did you hire her?”

Just as Lucas was about to answer her, his phone rang. It was Edmund who called.

Looking at the caller ID, Lucas squinted knowingly. He guessed that the client from Abura completelyrejected the collaboration and boarded the plane home.

Abura was a country with the most mineral resources. Losing such a major collaboration would notbring any harm to the company, but it was more or less still a pity.

Lucas frowned and answered the call. Before he even had the time to say hello, Edmund could nothold back his excitement and said, “It’s done, sir! Corinne and the client from Abura have reached adeal. They will go to the company tomorrow morning to sign the contract for collaborating with you forthe next ten years!”
