Chapter 370
Sunny was not the only one who was rattled by Lucas‘ sudden appearance. Even the group of students following behind him felt
rattled and nervous.
It was the girls‘ first time meeting Sunny’s elder brother, and they did not expect him to be so much more handsome than Sunny.
They seemed awestruck by his presence, more so because he
had the charm of a mature man.
Yash and his guy friends were all quiet. Though they were not afraid to confront Sunny, they did not dare to cause trouble in front
of his elder brother Lucas. The Riveras were one of the strongest and most influential families in the city, perhaps even the whole
country. None of their families could ever compare to the Riveras‘ status.
Lucas’s handsome eyes became even more sullen when his question remained unanswered. He frowned and asked a second
time, “Which one of you is Luna Rivera?”
No one came forth even after a while.
Sunny was so guilt–ridden and terrified right that he sweated profusely. He knew better than anyone that his missing sister
occupied a sacred place in his brother’s heart. It was difficult to imagine the consequences of his brother knowing that someone
else had used that name.
Yash glanced at Sunny, noticed his guilty conscience, and surmised that he must have lied earlier. Knowing that Sunny’s
greatest fear was his brother, Yash deliberately called out to Corinne next to him, “Hey! Luna! Your brother is talking to you! Why
are you so quiet?”
Since Charlene liked Sunny, she wanted to get on his family’s good side and felt that something was a little off about what was
happening. She thus stepped forward and said politely, “Umm, sir. Isn’t Luna your little sister? Why do you sound like you don’t
know her? Isn’t Luna right next to Sunny?”
“Right next to him?” Lucas cocked an eyebrow and turned to look at Corinne, who stood beside
Sunny.
His pupils contracted, and the woman that he completely excluded from the equation earlier did not pay any attention to him at
all. A sharp flash of coldness appeared in his warm eyebrows, and the embers of hope that were ignited in his eyes were
extinguished at that instant. With all traces of warmth removed, Lucas moved his body slightly and took one step toward Corinne.
“You called yourself Luna?”
Corinne had an insipid expression, and she calmly opened her mouth to explain the situation. “I-”
Lucas did not have the patience to listen to her explanation. He interrupted her directly and said sarcastically, “I’m not interested
or concerned about how you managed to associate yourself with the Holdens, but I won’t allow you to associate yourself with the
Riveras and use our name to elevate yourself. If you pretend to be my sister and use her name again, I’ll make you pay the price
for your actions if I ever run into you again.”
He emphasized the words ‘pay the price‘.
Sunny understood that Lucas never joked around with such things, and he knew that Corinne was.

in deep trouble because Lucas was a man of his word. Even so, he could not bear to see Corinne being treated like that. After
all, she was innocent, and the only reason she had been misunderstood as Luna was because of him.
Sunny gritted his teeth, plucked up the courage to stand up, and stood in front of Corinne. “It’s not what you think it is, Lucas.
She never did those things you accused her of, and she never pretended to be Luna. I lied to my classmates and told them that
her name was Luna-”
Lucas then slapped Sunny in the face. It came so abruptly that everyone was startled.
Sunny covered his face in shock and fear, and he slowly turned his head to face forward after the slap titled his head to one side.
His ears buzzed, and there were tears in his eyes which he refused to shed. “I swear it wasn’t her. It was me...”
“It was you, then. D*mn you, Sunny! How could you let someone greedy for wealth and power pretend to be your missing sister?
What was your thought process behind that?”
Lucas had always been a calm and elegant person, yet he was absolutely furious after being rubbed the wrong way.
He then pointed at Corinne with the same hand that slapped Sunny and asked, “Do you think she’s fit to use that name?”
