The Day I Kissed An Older Man

Chapter 578
“Yes, I did it myself.” Sunny nodded, then he asked nervously, “Lucas, did I get it right this. time?”
Unexpectedly, Lucas slammed the test paper on the table. “What I want is for you to improve yourself, not to resort to cheating!”
Sunny was frightened. He instinctively took a step back, saying innocently, “Lucas, I didn’t cheat!”
“You didn’t even know how to solve one question just now, yet you could solve so much after going out for a while?” Lucas glared
at Sunny, feeling disappointed that he failed to live up to his expectations. “Who are you trying to fool?”
How could he believe that Sunny did it himself? Not only did Sunny get all the questions wrong, but he was absurdly wrong.
Lucas could tell at a glance that Sunny did not even know the basic knowledge at all. That was why there was not even a need
to correct his mistakes and explain them to him!
At that moment, after he corrected his mistakes on this paper, he almost got 80 percent of the question right. Just with Sunny’s
intelligence alone, he could not do it!
Seeing that his brother was questioning him, Sunny figured that he should have gotten quite a lot of them right, which led his
brother to believe that he cheated. Therefore, he quickly explained, “Lucas, I answered them myself. Corinne has taught me a
formula that could be applied to all equations. I understood it, then I used the formula to think and answer the questions! If you
don’t believe me, I will do a new practice test to show you!”
Corinne was the one who taught him? Lucas was slightly taken aback. He frowned and asked with his guard up, “Why did she
tutor you?”
Sunny answered honestly, “At first, she didn’t want to teach me as well. It was after I begged her that she made time to explain
one question to me. Because I heard she was a top student at the University of New Capital City, I thought she might have some
shortcuts, and I begged her to teach me how to improve my grades fast.”
Lucas fell silent for a minute and his eyebrows got even more tightly furrowed. “Stay away from her in the future!”
Lucas was confused. “Why? I feel she’s quite nice. Also, the way she explains is very simple and easy to understand.”
Lucas sneered. “Do you know how to judge a person? Who is she to you? Why would she teach you for nothing? You’re not a
child anymore. Be more mindful and don’t trust anybody so easily!”

Sunny said, “Alright. But if she’s bad, why are you keeping her in the company?”
Lucas was suddenly at a loss for words. “This is a business among adults, a child like you shouldn’t ask so much about it! Have
Edmund take you home and continue with your revision. You should prepare for your test next week!”
Sunny pursed her lips. “Lucas, about my card-”
Lucas’s expression darkened. “There’s no need for you to mention your card to me before you pass your test.”
“Alright, I got it!” Sunny sighed sadly. He then carried his homework in his arms and went to look for Edmund.
After Lucas watched his brother leave, he looked down at the test paper in his hands again, his eyebrows were still tightly
furrowed. It was an extraordinary feat for Corinne to improve Sunny’s grades by a level in such a short period. However, why did
she want to help Sunny with his homework? If what she said was true, and she did not wish to marry into the Riveras, then what
exactly did she want? What exactly was she thinking?
With her intelligence, she could make a name for herself no matter where she went, so why did she come to the Rivera Group
for her so-called high salary?
Feeling a little tired, Lucas pinched the bridge of his nose.
Every time he felt both physically and mentally exhausted, he would think of his mother and sister, having no clue if they were
alive or dead. He reached out and touched the photo on his desk.
Recently, the feeling that his mother and sister were still alive was getting stronger for some reason.
He once tried to push his luck by sending people to search for his mother’s and sister’s remains. At that moment, however, he
had a feeling as if they were by his side, watching him.
In the afternoon the following day, Corinne was almost done making arrangements for the implementation of her sales proposal.
She leaned against the back of her chair and grabbed her phone to look at the time.
It was ten minutes from the time she got off work, so she called Sunny.
