Chapter 764
Just when Lucas was staring at the photo in a trance…
“Hey Jason, were you guys taking pictures?” said Anya curiously from behind Jason. She came just in time to have
caught a glimpse of the photos in Jason’s phone.
Jason turned and smiled at her. “Yeah. Do you want to take one with us, too?”
Anya shook her head. “No, thanks. I didn’t put any makeup on today, so I’ll look ugly in the photos.”
“Nonsense. You’re beautiful even without makeup on,” said Jason in a gentlemanly manner.
Annie rolled her eyes and poked her tongue out at Anya while muttering to herself, “Oh, please. I can’t believe she
has the cheek to say she doesn’t have makeup on when her face is caked with it. What does she think we are?

Corinne sipped her juice with a bored expression, so used to Anya’s theatrics.
Anya heard what Annie said. She threw a dirty glance at both Annie and Corinne before realizing Lucas was there,
too. “Oh hey, Lucas. You’re here too?”
Lucas’ face darkened at Anya’s sudden arrival. ‘She should be at home at this hour,’ he thought, but out loud, he
asked her, “When did you come?”
Anya walked over, sat next to Lucas, and leaned her body against his as she usually would. Lucas, Joey has been
crying nonstop for Jeremy, so I called him to ask about his whereabouts. He said he was in Lunar Century Manor, so
I thought I’d bring Joey here to see him.”
Lucas made no move to hold her in his arms. On the contrary, his face became stern when he asked, “You brought
Joey here, too?”
Anya was a little alarmed at how stern Lucas looked. She stuttered as she explained, “I… I didn’t have a choice.
Joey just kept crying and crying…”
“Why did you bring him out at this late hour when he’s still recovering from his injury from yesterday?!”
“He wouldn’t settle down no matter how I tried to comfort him. He said he only wanted Jeremy…”
It finally dawned on Lucas why Corinne sat alone while Jeremy was upstairs. It was all because of that troublemaker
Anya!
He pinched his glabella defeatedly. “Where’s Jeremy now?”
“He’s still upstairs with Joey. I was worried he’d be thirsty, so I came down to get some drinks for him,” Anya
answered. She then picked a bottle of unopened soft drink from the table.” Let’s talk later, Lucas. I’m going to go
back upstairs now.”

However, before she left, she did not forget to keep up her pretense of being a nice girl. Corinne, I’m going up now.
You enjoy yourself now, you hear? If you need anything, don’t be shy and just have the servants bring it to you,
okay?”
Her words sounded polite enough, but it was obvious she was trying to show her who was boss.
Corinne smiled and was about to say something when Annie rolled her eyes and said fiercely, Oh, don’t you worry,
Miss Anya. We won’t be shy at all. This place might belong to you Riveras, but for this one night, it belongs to my
Uncle Jeremy since he paid for the right to use. it! In other words, we’re your customer, and as the saying goes, the
customer is king and a king never bargains!”
Anya’s face immediately turned pale, and even her signature fake smile stiffened. “You… You’re right. I was
worrying for nothing.”
Annie was Jeremy’s only niece and the two of them had a very close relationship, so it would not benefit Anya if she
fought with Annie. Hence, she quickly left the scene before things got out of control.
“Stop right there,” said Corinne all of a sudden.
