Chapter 949

Anya was tearing up while she sat beside Phoebe, and Cedric felt a bit of compassion for her when he

looked at her.

Both he and his wife Beatrice have watched Anya grow up. Though she might be a bit spoiled and

stubborn due to her mood swings, she was kind and sensible most of the time. Her character did not fit

with the image of a person who told lies.

When Phoebe saw that Cedric was beginning to feel swayed by what she said, she quickly followed up

with more to say. “When I said that Corinne had other motives for saving you, I was referring to her

desire to remove Anya from Jeremy’s life. Corinne was Anya’s rival in winning Jeremy’s heart, so she

orchestrated the entire situation to save you and gain your trust. That way, she can creep into our

family and find ways to sever Anya’s ties with Jeremy.

“Based on the facts, she has achieved her goal. After she figured out that Anya had saved Jeremy, she

made up some details about saving Jeremy that Anya had forgotten and used them to show Jeremy

that she saved him! That would spell the end of Anya’s future with Jeremy!

“Of course, I’m sure the Riveras are more than happy to see Anya severing ties with Jeremy, but I

firmly believe we shouldn’t question Anya’s character simply because of what Corinne said.

“Anya isn’t the liar that Corinne makes her out to be! She’s been hiding at home and crying her eyes

out because everyone misunderstood her. Her eyes are swollen, and she’s nearly gone blind from all

the crying.

“I don’t care that Jeremy believed Corinne’s lies and didn’t listen to Anya. But now, even her beloved

elder brother ignores her because of Corinne’s lies. Lucas used to dote on her a lot, but he doesn’t

even show any concern toward her now. Anya has been very depressed because of this.

“I genuinely hope that you two can see through Corinne’s true colors. Please don’t misunderstand your

granddaughter simply because of a stranger’s unproven claims! The fact that Corinne slandered Anya

shows just how evil she is! Now, people have exposed her to faking the results of her university

entrance exams. They dug up the dirt on all those abortions she had. You shouldn’t believe a word of

what that wretched girl says!”

As Anya listened to her mother’s fervent attempts to help her turn the situation around, she made sure

to play her part in cooperating. Aggrievedly, she wiped her tears and said, “Grandpa, Grandma… I was

wrongly accused of all that! I never lied, and it was Corinne who planned all this to target me! Now,

even Dad and Lucas don’t talk to me anymore. I went to the hospital to see Sunny, and he ignored me

too. I feel really helpless right now. If my brother who loved me the most since I was a little girl doesn’t

even want to talk to me because of an outsider, I don’t know what else I’m supposed to do. I feel

depressed…”

Her crying intensified as she spoke. She stood up from the sofa and knelt on the ground. “Grandpa,

Grandma… Please don’t treat me like how Dad, Lucas, and Sunny treat me! I feel worthless, and I

won’t be able to survive…”

Both Cedric and Beatrice frowned in distress when Anya bawled her eyes out.

“Okay, Anya,” said Cedric. “That’s enough. You can get up now!”

“Yes, please do get up!” coaxed Beatrice. “Your infertility might be cured, but you can’t kneel on the

ground like that and put a strain on yourself!”

Anya smirked subtly when her grandparents finally started to feel sorry for her again.

At that moment, a servant came over and informed them, “Sir, ma’am… Mister Lucas is back. He

brought Miss Corinne with him.”

Phoebe and Anya glanced at each other. They did not expect Corinne to find them so quickly,

especially since they were careful to leave no traces.
