Chapter 354
“Mister Jeremy,” greeted Edmund with a bow. “Mister Lucas had asked me to return your car and to convey his
gratitude to you for lending him the car yesterday. If not, he and Miss Anya would be stuck waiting on the Yonder
Bridge for at least two hours or so for someone to get them.”
“If he’s so grateful, why isn’t he here personally to thank me then?” asked Jeremy indifferently.
Edmund had spent many years working under Lucas to know how to deal with this kind of situation. However, he
still could not help but feel a little pressure when it came to dealing with Jeremy.
“My deepest apologies, Mister Jeremy. Mister Lucas is away on a business trip. Otherwise, he would’ve personally
come to thank you.”
Jeremy wordlessly cut the bacon in his place as if he was the only person in the dining room. What Edmund said
might have worked on other people, but not on him. It was obvious to him that Lucas was not sincere about
thanking him.
Edmund remained awkwardly standing where he was. Then, he suddenly turned to Sunny and said, “Mister Sunny,
go on. Tell Mister Jeremy what happened, and make sure you apologize sincerely to him after that.”
“Fine…” The usually high–spirited Sunny had his head drooped. The emotions he had been holding back in the car
came out all at once. He took a few steps forward and dropped his head even lower as if he was ashamed to face
Jeremy.
“Jeremy, I’m sorry. I…”
He felt it hard to go on so much, so he thought he was going to puke out some blood right there and then.
However, he finally bit the bullet after thinking about Anya and Lucas‘ future.
“It was me! I was the one who posted the video online to slander Corinne. I did it to make her pay for what she did
to Rosie! I stole the female influencer’s phone from Lucas and edited the video to make it look like Corinne was in
the wrong so that everyone would hate her! I’m the only one to blame for this fiasco.”
Tommy looked at Sunny with shock written all over his face. Of all the people in the world, he would have never
guessed it would be him who posted the video online. While it was true Tommy thought Sunny to be a little naughty,

despicable as this.
However, after thinking about it carefully, he remembered all the troubles Sunny had caused Corinne before.
Therefore, it was not that surprising that he would come to admit his wrongdoings. In fact, Tommy should have
seen it coming.
Edmund was a little puzzled as to why Jeremy seemed to not show any reaction after Sunny’s confession. He
thought about it for a while and then said, “Mister Jeremy, Mister Sunny is still young and doesn’t know the way of
the world. We’re sorry to have caused trouble for you and Missus Holden. Rest assured that Mister Lucas had
punished Mister Sunny accordingly the moment he found out about what he had done. Today, I’ve brought him here
for you to punish him however you see fit.”
He was right. The whole thing was tricky to deal with exactly because it concerned the Rivera family.
“The Rivera family is the Rivera family, and Anya is Anya,” said Jeremy suddenly. His tone was one of calm and
ruthlessness.
Tommy was a little taken aback. From that simple statement alone, he understood that Jeremy had no intention to
go easy on the Rivera family because of Anya.
“What should I do next, Mister Jeremy?” asked Tommy seriously.
Jeremy was about to give his order when Bowen suddenly walked into the dining room in a hurry and said, “Mister
Jeremy, the Rivers are here.”
‘What? The Rivers? Speaking of the devil!‘ Tommy was stunned and puzzled at the same time. Apart from Anya, this
was the first time anyone else from the Rivera family had come to the Holden’s‘ estate.xo.com fast update
The two families held deep–seated grudges toward one another, and though the younger family members did not
see each other as enemies, they would never show up at each other’s houses unannounced either.
“What do they want?” asked Jeremy with a raised eyebrow.
“A jolly–looking subordinate said he brought Mister Sunny here to apologize to you and Ma’am, and apparently, Miss
Anya is in the car as well.”
“Let them in,” said Jeremy darkly.
“Yes, Mister Jeremy,” said Bowen. Then, he went to get the guests.
Not long after, Lucas‘ right–hand man, Edmund, came in with Sunny in tow. Anya, however, was nowhere to be
seen.

Jeremy put the bacon into his mouth and chewed slowly as if he had all the time in the world. He then put down his
cutleries, took a sip of water, and gracefully dabbed the corners of his mouth with a napkin.
Some people in the world did not even have to frown for others to feel a sense of oppressive pressure. For some
reason, Edmund and Sunny could not help but feel the walls closing in on them:
“Answer me this, do you know what Corinne did at the embankment that day?” asked Jeremy calmly with a raise of
his eyebrow.
Sunny nodded and said, “Yes…”
Jeremy narrowed his eyes. “Do elaborate.”
Sunny was panicking. “Corinne helped out my grandfather, who went blind recently, and if it wasn’t
for her, my grandfather would’ve been beaten up by that female influencer.
