Chapter 486
He could not quite explain what he was feeling, but he just felt it was not safe for Corinne to be there alone.
Lucas turned around and asked her, “Do you have my number?”
Corinne nodded. “Yes, I’ve saved your number.”
“Alright. Before I return, you can call me if there’s anything.”
“Alright, Mister Lucas.”
Only then did Lucas truly walk off, and his tall figure disappeared into the crowd who were toasting each other.
Rosie and Anya were chatting on the stairs when they saw Lucas walking in with Corinne and showing concern for her. Both of
them were very uncomfortable with it.
Anya put on an insincere smile. “It looks like Lucas is quite concerned for Corinne! The jacket on her shoulders is the one I gifted
him a few days ago!”
She initially bought that jacket for Jeremy, but he did not accept it. She was very dejected, but she felt it was a waste to throw it
away; so she gave it to her brother.
Her brother and Jeremy were almost the same size anyway, so he could not notice it.
However, when Anya saw the jacket draping over Corinne’s shoulders, she felt it was an eyesore!
Why did her brother put the jacket on Corinne? He hated her very much, did he not?
Rosie was more upset than Anya was. She downed the red wine in her hand, and said, “Anya, you see it, right? Look what
Corinne could do. It only took her a few days to make Lucas go from hating her to starting to care for her!”
Rosie attended Missus Benet’s birthday party as Lucas’s partner all these years. She devoted herself to Lucas for so many
years, yet Lucas never offered her his jacket before! Who was Corinne to receive such care? Rosie was pissed.
The more she thought about it, the more upset she felt. Rosie then walked down the stairs angrily, rushing to Corinne to scold
her, “What a shameless b*tch you are!”
Corinne was having a taste of the cake from the dessert table. Hearing her voice, she turned to look at Rosie, then she raised
her eyebrow and said, “It’s Miss Rosie! Who pissed you off? Why did you curse at me as soon as you came over?”
Corinne’s fair and fine face was stunningly beautiful when she turned her head. She had a bit of cream at the corner of her lips
that she was unaware of, making her look adorable.
Rosle despised her even more when she saw the way she looked. “You’ve seduced Jeremy in the past and you’re seducing
Lucas now! Corinne, are you unable to live without a man?”
Corinne smiled. “I don’t think I’m the one who can’t survive without a man. Aren’t you the one being hysterical now for failing to
be a man’s partner?”
Rosie gritted her teeth in anger. “You-”
She truly could not swallow her anger, so she grabbed a piece of cake from the dessert table and wanted to throw it at Corinne’s
face!
Seeing that, Anya quickly stopped her best friend. “Rosie, don’t do that!”
Rosie was in a terrible mood because she failed to become Lucas’s partner, so she already had a lot of red wine earlier. If she
lost control and created a big commotion because she was drunk, things would not end well.
