Chapter 565

Corinne wanted to ignore them, so she automatically walked past them.

“Corinne!” Anya called out to her in a gentle voice.

Corinne stopped in her tracks, turning her face. “Is something up again, Miss Anya?”

She was mocking her by adding the word “again,” insinuating that she did plenty in the past.

It also had a tinge of warning implied, telling her she better not create trouble again!

Anya came to Corinne with a smile as pure as the driven snow, then deliberately asked, Corinne, whydid you ignore me when you saw me?”

What was there for them to talk about after Anya framed Corinne yesterday?

Corinne pursed her lips. “No, it’s just that I saw you and Mister Lucas’ secretary were having anenjoyable conversation, so I didn’t want to interject.”

“Oh, I see!” Anya’s pure smile got broader. She took a step closer and tip-toed to reach Corinne’s earas Corinne was taller than her. Then, she spoke in a voice so soft that only Corinne could hear,“Corinne, you won yesterday! However, don’t be smug yet. The best part is yet to come! Didn’t you liketo drive a wedge between my brother and me? Let me tell you. something then, that’s what you’reincredibly wrong about! My brother loves me the most. Ever since childhood, no matter what mistakesI’ve made, he would forgive unconditionally, loving me just the same and tolerating me! An illegitimatedaughter like you who was never loved by anybody and liked by your family since childhood wouldnever understand the happiness I have!”

She was smiling as she said that, but the words that came out of her mouth were unkind. Thejuxtaposition of the two created an extremely creepy feeling.

However, Corinne sneered instead of getting angry and said with a faint smile, “Mm-hmm. I can tell thatMister Lucas truly loves you very much.”

Anya put her feet firmly on the ground, raising an eyebrow at Corinne in an arrogant yet sweet mannerwhile beaming. “It’s good that you can tell! So don’t waste your effort trying to come at me through mybrother! It’s useless!”

Corinne was still smiling. “Aren’t you tired, Miss Anya? You’re acting a fake character and

image every day. You use your family and friends to create trouble, and you plot against all the womenwho might threaten you, treating everybody as your enemy. Honestly speaking, are you truly happy andsecure?

“In my opinion, a secure and fulfilled person probably wouldn’t be like you, who would go to any lengthsto guard everything you already have. I’m guessing that you’re feeling very anxious and insecure deepdown. Because you know everything you have now can be shattered at just a slight touch. The loveand tolerance you were surrounded with what you’ve traded by

putting on an act and ingratiating yourself. You don’t have the confidence that you can still have thisstatus and protection when you let your true colors show and be yourself. Therefore, you are moreafraid than anybody to lose it all, am I right?”

Anya’s smile stiffened, unable to say anything for a long time.

Corinne raised his hand and patted her shoulder with a frivolous yet heavy touch. “Miss Anya, if youhave time to target me, you might as well do some good deeds to give your child some blessings!”

Upon saying that, she walked past Anya and returned to her office.

Anya almost lost her composure. Every single word Corinne said earlier got to her and exposed thedeep fear she had deep down!
