Corinne found Rosie’s answer so hilarious that she spurted out all the water in her mouth.
“Pfft! Ack, ack, ack!”
The water splashed all over Rosie’s face, which made her scream. “Argh! What are you doing?”
Corinne wiped her mouth with a tissue before pulling out another one for Rosie. “Sorry about that. I never expected
Anya to tell you that!” she chuckled.
Rosie snatched the tissue from her hand and wiped away the water on her face with disgust. “Well, she only tells
me the truth. What else could she say?”
Corinne smirked. She was curious to find out what other outrageous tales Anya told Rosie.

Rosie seemed to get even madder at the mention of that. She had worshiped Lucas since she was little. He was the
only man she ever wanted to marry, so she could not stand the thought of him being defiled by the woman she
hated the most in the world.
“I can’t believe you’re asking me that! The only way you could’ve gotten pregnant by Lucas was if you slipped him
some drugs to make him want to do it with you. He’d never do it with a woman like you otherwise!”
‘I was right. Anya was making things up,’ Corinne thought with a sardonic grin. She said, “So you believe everything
Anya says? Don’t you find the whole thing strange at all?”
Corinne could not tell Rosie that Lucas was her brother, which meant doing the deed was impossible to happen.
Rosie rolled her eyes. “Anya and I grew up together, and we’re best friends. Why would she lie to me? You can’t
seriously expect me to believe your story over hers, right?”
Corinne smiled. “I’m not asking you to believe me. I’m just asking whether you find what she told you illogical.”
“How is it illogical? In fact, it sounds more like you’re trying to push the blame to someone else.”
“I’m not pushing the blame to someone else. I just find what she told you to be illogical. I mean, if the baby I’m
carrying right now is Lucas’, why did I not force him to marry me? Why should I force Jeremy to marry me instead?
Isn’t that riskier and illogical?”
Rosie frowned. “That’s ’cause you found out Lucas’ not the type to be blackmailed into doing something he didn’t
want. I know him the best. He’ll never bow to a woman like you. In fact, he hates being blackmailed the most! He
wouldn’t have asked Edmund to bring you to go for an abortion if that wasn’t the case.
“Just admit it, Corinne. You failed to force Lucas to marry you, so you told Jeremy the baby was his. That way, he

your seduction magic on him to make him believe you. But let me tell you something: You’ll never get away with
this. You’ll be kicked out of this house too once they know the truth.”
Corinne kept laughing while Rosie babbled. This made Rosie even angrier.
“What… What are you laughing at, Corinne?! Have you no shame? Most people will feel guilty being found out for
their wrongdoing, but you have the cheek to laugh?!”
Still laughing, Corinne waved her hand. “I’m sorry, but I can’t hold it in anymore. You know, sometimes I wonder
how it was possible for Anya to use you for so many years without you realizing. Well, now I know! Hahahaha!”
