Although Corinne only pushed Anya lightly, the latter acted as if the former pushed her very hard. Anyastaggered back exaggeratedly and pretended to fall. Her plan worked! She wanted Corinne to raise herhand against her to make it more believable that Corinne would do something as insidious as harmingJoey.

A hand reached out to grab her just when she was about to fall to the ground. Anya thought it wasJeremy who saved her, which made her secretly happy. However, when she looked up, she discoveredit was Lucas who saved her.

Lucas put his arm protectively around Anya after he righted her up. He then glared coldly at Corinneand said, “I dare you to push her again.”

“I didn’t push her. I just flung her hand away from my body,” said Corinne.

Lucas frowned. “I saw everything so there’s no use of you denying it!”

Corinne was speechless. ‘How can he know what happened when he wasn’t even here, to begin with?He must be making things up.’

Anya was a little disappointed that it was not Jeremy who saved her but Lucas. Still, she did not forgetto keep up her pitiful act. Without missing a beat, she buried her head inside Lucas’s chest and saidtearfully, “Thank god you’re finally here, Lucas. Joey! Joey! His face will forever be disfigured.”

Lucas looked coldly at Corinne. “What did that kid ever do to you for you to do something like this tohim?”

“Mister Lucas, I didn’t do what Miss Anya said I did.”

Lucas scoffed. “And who can prove that you didn’t?”

“You can report me to the police if you want.”

Corinne thought it through. There was only herself, Anya, and Joey in that room then. As for the waiter,well, Corinne was sure he would never come clean himself since that would mean he would have toface the consequences.

Lucas hated how Corinne could be so laissez-faire about the whole thing. He patted Anya lightly on theback to calm her down and at the same time, he fixed his cold gaze on Corinne, thinking of how topunish her later.

At that moment, Jason decided to come out and say, “Lucas, there must be a misunderstanding.Corinne has no reason to hurt Joey. I mean, what good would that bring to her? I’m sure the restauranthas cameras all over the place so you’ll only need to ask your men to check the footage to replace outwhat happened.”

“I’ve already asked my men to check. The restaurant said their cameras have been out of order

since last month so there’s no footage to speak of.”

Hearing this, Anya cried even harder. “Corinne must have known the cameras were out of order! That’swhy she dares to do something so heinous like this toward Joey. Oh, my poor child!”

Lucas frowned. His heart ached to see Anya so sad. “Don’t worry, Anya. I’ll make Corinne pay forhurting Joey.”

Corinne just stood there, seemingly unfazed by Lucas’s death stare. She found the whole thing. ironic.After spending so much time with Lucas at work, she knew very well that he was only rational andcunning when it came to his work and socialization but when it came to his precious sister, Anya. Well,

it would not be an overstatement to say his intelligence level would drop to that of a village idiot.Corinne was in awe of just how much of a sister complex

Lucas had.

Lucas gave up on asking Corinne anything because he understood very well that she would not admitto anything so instead, he turned to look at the man who just came out of the emergency ward.

“Jeremy, aren’t you going to come over here and say anything?”

Jeremy just completed the hospitalization procedure for Joey. He walked over to them, threw Lucas aglance, and then emotionlessly said, “Corinne, can I have a moment of your time?”
