Chapter 864
“Lucas! Lucas…!”
Anya collapsed onto the floor and kept crying. ‘Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t! It’s all over for me!’
The ‘good girl’ image she so painstakingly built over the years was destroyed in an instant by Corinne. She was out
of ideas as even Lucas turned his back on her, too!
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtPhoebe started to panic when she saw her daughter, who everyone used to pamper, was rebuked by everyone. Her
heart broke when she saw how hard Lucas slapped Anya.
She looked unhappily at Maxwell. “Say something, Maxwell! Didn’t you just see how Lucas slapped Anya? As their
father, shouldn’t you do something about it?!!
Maxwell sat there calmly. His face had lost its youthfulness, but in return, he looked like he gained a certain
acceptance of life.
“The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree. This is all karma, so you have no one else to blame but yourself.”
Phoebe’s face paled. “Maxwell! How can you talk like this about me and Anya? Haven’t I always given the best to
your family? What have I done for you to treat me so harshly?”
Maxwell did not want to waste his breath on her anymore. He looked down to compose himself. ‘Is it just me, or
does Corinne really look like Emily?’
Phoebe could not contain her outburst anymore. “I’m talking to you, Maxwell! Why won’t you even look at me? Why
do you always treat me like I don’t exist? Even if you don’t like me, you should at least be a good father to Anya!”
Anya had lost all of Lucas’ trust and love, so she was hoping her father would at least speak up for her.

“That’s enough!” shouted Sunny, who was leaning weakly against the headboard. He had never taken that tone or
attitude with Phoebe or Anya before.
Anya was startled. “Sunny, you…”
“Sunny, why did you shout like that? You almost scared Anya to death!” lectured Phoebe unhappily.
At that moment, Sunny was beyond incensed. He was disgusted and resentful of how unrepentant both Phoebe and
Anya seemed to be. As hard as he found it hard to accept that his mother and sister had become the kind of people
he hated the most in the world, he had no choice but to face them.
“All of you, get out! I need some peace and quiet to think! I’ll die from all your crying and shouting even if the
internal bleeding doesn’t kill me!”
