Chapter 549
At that moment, Anya’s expression stiffened and her eyes were wavering with guilt. It never crossed her mind that
Corinne would be able to find footage of her and Oliver talking with
each other.
“Mister Lucas, please take a closer look. Miss Anya’s hand came in contact with Oliver’s hand while they were
talking.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne rewound the video by around 10 seconds or so and put it in slow-motion.
“Look, their hand movements are very obvious. You can see Miss Anya taking something out of her pocket and
stuffing it into Oliver’s hand. Mister Lucas, would two people who don’t know each other need to sneak around and
pass things to each other while talking?”
At that moment, Corinne’s tone was filled with sarcasm, but it was not too much. She was just giving Lucas a taste
of his own medicine.
Lucas did not say anything. Instead, he just watched the two footage quietly while the expression on his face
became colder and colder. After that, he stood up and looked deeply
into Anya’s eyes.
“Anya, do you know this waiter?” he asked, choking with mixed emotions.
Even though Anya felt guilty, she still remembered to keep up her innocent act. She looked. back at Lucas with her
big sad puppy dog eyes and shook her head like a little girl. “No! I don’t know him at all!”
“Then what were the two of you talking about and what did you pass him? Explain all this now! “Lucas said sternly.
Lucas never spoke so sternly to Anya before so it stood to reason she would be frightened. She started to panic,
thinking that she might lose Lucas’s trust in her. She knew there was nothing Lucas hated more than being lied to.
She quickly put on a pitiful expression and said tearfully, “Lucas, I told the waiter I wanted to add some things to

Lucas did not say anything but it was obvious he did not buy Anya’s explanation.
Corinne smiled. “What a weird kink you have, Miss Anya, to order food in front of a restroom
and for five minutes at that. I wonder what you ordered?”
The expression on Anya’s face became unnatural but still, she did not break. She quickly thought of an explanation
and tearfully said, “Corinne, can you not mock me? I saw you throwing up in the restroom so I thought I’ll ask the
waiter whether the restaurant serves anything easier on the stomach. I remembered you said your stomach isn’t
feeling that well so I wanted to order something lighter for you.”
