Phoebe uttered in surprise, “Lucas had a car accident? What happened? If I remember correctly, he didn’t come
home yesterday. Was it because of the accident?”
Anya narrowed her eyes slyly. “I believe so. He probably didn’t go home because he was worried Grandpa and
Grandma would be worried about it.”
Phoebe did not have any familial bonds with her stepson, Lucas. He never respected her since young anyway, so
she could care less if he died in a car accident. In fact, she would be even happier if the accident cost him his life!
Lucas’s death was the only way Sunny would become the Riveras’ heir. She would no longer have to bow to the
Riveras if that was the case.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnya was not concerned about Lucas’s well-being either. She knew from a young age he only loved her because he
saw Luna in her. She even had to work hard to receive that sort of affection from him!
At that moment, a thought occurred to Anya.
“Do you know how Lucas got into a car accident?”
Phoebe did not care at all. “It doesn’t matter to me! He doesn’t love you anymore, so there’s no reason for you to
worry about him. Just leave him be!”
Anya shook her head. “I’m not worried about him. I’m worried about something else.”
Phoebe froze. “What is it?”
“A van nearly ran into Corinne. Lucas got into the accident because he tried to protect her.”
Phoebe was shocked to hear that. “Lucas risked his life for that b*tch?”
Anya’s eyes narrowed slightly, “Yeah. You think it’s strange too, don’t you? Why would someone as aloof as him risk
his life to save a random woman?”
Phoebe had yet to realize Anya’s true reasons for raising her question. She exclaimed in disgust, “Well, it’s all
because that b*tch is an expert at seducing men. Even someone like your brother can’t escape her charm!”
Anya frowned. “It’s not that at all! I can bet that Lucas isn’t in love with Corinne!”
Phoebe wondered aloud, “What else could it be if he’s not in love with her? What other feelings will a man have
toward a woman?”
Anya looked at her mother. She put forth her hypothesis in a serious tone, “If he’s in a relationship with Corinne,
shouldn’t he feel repulsed that Corinne and Jeremy are together? He doesn’t seem to be jealous of Jeremy at all.
However, he cares for Corinne and shows Jeremy more courtesy than before. Don’t you think that’s strange? None
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmof it seems to make any sense to me!”
Phoebe saw the logic in Anya’s reasoning. “I see what you mean now that you’ve put it that way. So what’s your
theory on why Lucas cares so much about Corinne?”
Anya was silent for a few seconds. She then voiced out the one possibility that she feared most. “Do you think
Corinne might be the long-lost Luna? Luna is the only person that Lucas would risk his life for.”
Phoebe’s expression soured when she heard Luna’s name. In all her years at the Riveras, her greatest worry was
that the missing Emily might return with Luna.
“But… How?”
