Chapter 1031

Both Cedric and Beatrice sighed as the police took away Anya. How could they not feel crestfallen that

the granddaughter they loved and spoiled for so many years had fallen so far to the point of being

jailed?

However, they also knew Anya was no longer a child, so she must bear the consequences of her

actions. Lucas, too, felt conflicted about Anya being taken away, but she had gone too far this time.

He turned to Corinne. As much as he was relieved to see she was still alive, his heart ached when he

saw her bandaged head. He could not help but wrap her up in a bear hug.

“Thank god you’re still alive, Corinne! I was almost scared to death when I got the news…”

Corinne did not put up a struggle. She did not hate Lucas as much as before but nor did she accept

him fully. She simply stood quietly, enduring the hug.

Except for the cut on her head, she was fine. Ever since she was nearly hit by a car three days ago,

she knew she had to do something to protect herself as there was a high chance the same thing was

going to happen again.

Thus, she sewed a layer of bouncy sponge foam to the underside of her pants to act as an extra

protective layer for the baby in her belly. This would greatly reduce any external impact from reaching

the baby.

The cut on her head was not so serious that it would cause brain damage, nor so minor that it would

not require her to have some medical attention. As for the baby, it did kick around for a bit after the

accident, but she was sure it would settle down once she got some good rest.Books Chapters Are

In the surgery room, she asked the doctor to tell everyone waiting outside that the surgery had failed so

she could expose Anya as the scheming woman she really was.

Corinne wanted to end the feud once and for all. She wanted to expose Anya while she was still early

on in her pregnancy to spare herself the headache of having to deal with her next time.

Francine did not know Lucas and Corinne were siblings, so she walked up to them with a frown,

pushed him away, and pulled Corinne to her side.

“Hey, keep your hands off my sister-in-law!” she said angrily. “She’s a married woman now, so show

her a little respect, alright? Even if you’re interested in her, you’ve lost your chance the moment she

married my brother!”

Lucas simply looked at Francine with a frown and said nothing.

Cedric and Beatrice exchanged glances with each other. They had noticed from the start that Lucas

treated Corinne differently than before.

Francine stood with her arms akimbo. She was about to continue cursing the Riveras when Corinne

dragged her out of the room.

“Corinne, what are you doing? I’m not done cursing at him yet. His sister is the reason you got run over

by a car! Not to mention, Grandma nearly had a heart attack because of that! I’m going to make the

entire Rivera family pay for hurting you and Grandma!”

Corinne threw a warning glance at her. “Stop it, Francine. It’s more important for us to let Grandma

know that I’m fine. God knows she must be in quite a shock right now.”

Francine pouted. “So you do know just how much of a shock you gave her. How could you not let us

into your plan? Did you know Jeremy nearly…”

Francine suddenly stopped speaking as she saw Jeremy in the corridor as soon as she walked out of

the room.

He was half-leaning against the wall with both hands shoved into his pockets.
