Even though Xante did not want to be the one to tell Sunny, she did not plan to lie to him either. Thus, when Sunny asked her,
she told him the truth.
Sunny stared at Xante’s reply in shock while his hands started to tremble.
Noticing this, Corinne asked him, “What’s the matter, Sunny? Are you okay?”
Sunny snapped out of his shock. He quickly rubbed his reddened eyes and said, “No... Nothing.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes at him. “What happened? Did Xante dump you?”
Knowing he was not good at acting, Sunny turned away his face and said, “Nothing happened! I just remembered I have a test
coming up soon, so I need to go study now.”
After saying that, he ran up to his room, which just made Corinne even more puzzled.
“Don’t mind him. He has mood swings like this from time to time,” said Lucas in a bid to distract her.
Corinne raised an eyebrow. ‘Is that so?’
“By the way, I’ve arranged for someone to get you some of the stuff you might need for the baby. They’ll be here soon. You can
see whether you like them or tell me if you still need anything.”
“I’ve bought everything I need. I suggest you return the items since they haven’t arrived yet.”
“That’s okay. Just think of them as my gifts to the baby. Besides, you can never have too much baby stuff.”
Corinne knew Lucas would never return those items, so she decided to let it be. ‘I’ll just wire him some money later,’ she told
herself.

Meanwhile, the servants let Sophia go at the junction leading up to the Riveras’ mansion.
Sophia watched the burly servants leave and correctly assumed she would be Riveras’ mansion again.
However, she was not going to give up this chance so easily. After all, this was the best shot she would have at getting rid of the
baby. Previously, she did not do anything to harm the baby as she did not get a chance, and she would never do something she
was not 100 percent sure of getting a result.
Thus, she considered raising Corinne’s baby with Jeremy. It was no big deal to her since Jeremy had Joey, so one more kid was
not going to make a big difference. She would just raise the baby and Joey together while she tried to get pregnant with Jeremy.
At least, that was what she told herself. As much as she tried to convince herself, she would still prefer if Corinne’s baby and
Joey did not exist.
‘The baby’s going to be born if I don’t do anything now. Grandma Pamela seems like she really cares about the baby, and I bet
even more so if the baby turns out to be a boy!’ thought Sophia.
While the Holdens do their best to give Joey everything a child could wish for, he would never get the right to inherit the family’s
fortune and business. However, the same could not be said for Corinne’s baby.
Not only was Jeremy the father, but he would also be the eldest great-grandson. That would put him above any kid Sophia and
Jeremy might have together in the future.
Sophia stood where she was for a long time, trying to come up with a plan. Once she got an idea, she went to the small
advertising agency near the street.
“Hello, Miss. How can I help you today?” asked the person manning the counter.
“I’d like to print some flyers. When’s the fastest I can get them?”
