Chapter 570
Corinne was speechless. As expected, she overestimated his intelligence.
With a sound of a ding, the elevator arrived and the door slowly opened.
Corinne reached out her hand to select a floor again, preparing to go back upstairs on her own. At the same time, she said to
Sunny indifferently, “Mister Sunny, if you don’t want to go back. to face Mister Lucas, you can leave.”
Sunny wanted to leave but not on his own. Instead, he dragged Corinne out of the elevator with him.
After she was dragged out by him again, Corinne frowned helplessly. “Mister Sunny, can you not bother others when they’re
working?”
Sunny did not agree with her. “Didn’t you say you’ve finished everything you’ve supposed to do? Why are you in such a hurry to
go back?”
Corinne rolled her eyes at him. “Are we the same? You’re a son of a wealthy man and I’m just a person working for a paycheck.
If I leave my position without permission, my salary will be docked, do you understand?”
Sunny acted like a spoiled, willful child and said, “However much they dock from your pay, just pay you double in the future! In
any case, you can go back now. Hang out with me for al while!”
As he said that, Sunny grabbed Corinne’s arm and dragged her out of the building, not allowing her to resist.
“Hey,” Corinne felt nothing other than speechless.
After they left the Rivera Group, Sunny pulled Corinne into a can and went straight to a famous antique store downtown.
When they arrived at the destination, Corinne looked at the endless array of antiques inside the store, then she glanced at Sunny
with a slight surprise. “I didn’t expect you to like these aged things when you’re still a young student.”
Sunny was carefully picking out the antiques from the shelf. “I’m not the one who likes it. I’m just picking out a birthday gift for my
grandpa!”
Corinne raised her eyebrow, feeling bored. “You could come on your own if you want to pick out a gift for your grandpa. Why did
you make me come with you?”
Sunny picked up a pair of small walnut sculptures to take a look at, then he said shamelessly, ” I don’t have money, so I brought
you here to first help me pay for it!”
Corinne was at a loss for words.
Corinne’s gaze instantly turned to disgust as she looked at him. “Mister Sunny, where is your conscience? I’m working for a
paycheck at your family’s company, yet you asked me to first help you pay for the things you want to buy?”
Sunny said, “I don’t have a choice. All my cards have been frozen by my brother, and he forbade my sister from giving me
money! But my grandpa’s going to be celebrating his sixty- sixth birthday tomorrow, and my family’s going to celebrate with him.
My grandparents have been very nice to me, so I won’t want to go empty-handed! Corinne, just help me pay first. I’ll pay you
back in the future!”
Corinne picked up a small wooden horse carved out of mahogany to have a look. As if she was lost in thoughts, she asked, “Are
the grandparents you mentioned, your mother’s parents?
Sunny’s expression was slightly complicated as he shook his head. “To be precise, they are not my grandparents. They are my
brother’s grandparents. Both of them have no blood relations with my sister and me. Because, you know, my sister and I are my
brother’s half-siblings who share the same father. My biological mother’s parents passed away many years ago.
Corinne frowned when she heard that. Lucas’s maternal grandparents were her mother’s parents.
Inferring from some rumors back then that Corinne learned, her mother was wrongfully accused by the Riveras back then and
was kicked out of the Riveras.
Logically speaking, if that was the case, her mother’s family and the Riveras should be holding a deep grudge against each
other. How could they still get along so well, and the Riveras could even go celebrate her grandfather’s birthday together? Could
it be that her mother’s family. did not care about her mother as well?
