Chapter 790
Sunny frowned. He hated nothing more than when his mother and sister encouraged him to take over the family business, which
he made clear he was uninterested in. He also hated when his mother made baseless accusations about Lucas. While it was
true Lucas was strict with him, giving him reason to fear him, he never once doubted Lucas only had his best interest at
heart.
‘Mom is right about one thing, that Lucas and I didn’t come from the same mother, but he was the one who brought me up. He
taught me how to talk and read. He might not spoil me as much as he does to Anya, but...no matter how strict he is to me, he’s
never mistreated me either...’
Although Lucas objected to Sunny being a professional computer gamer and would scold him whenever he asked for new
gaming equipment... Without fail, a few days later, Edmund would show up
with the said gaming equipment in his room. Sunny knew without Lucas’ order, Edmund would never dare to buy these things for
him. Not only that, but Lucas had been teaching him the ropes of running the family business. Alas, Sunny did not take anything
he said seriously.
“Mom, I’m going to get mad if you keep talking about Lucas like that,” said Sunny seriously. “Oh, why can’t you be half as mature
as your sister?” Phoebe could not fight the regret she felt for birthing the ungrateful Sunny.
She had gotten her wish of marrying into the Rivera family, but she never received the care and love she wanted from Maxwell,
not even when she pretended to be sick.
‘Sigh, I only have Anya on my side...since this good-for-nothing son of mine wouldn’t listen. to me,’ thought Phoebe.
Just then, the attached bathroom door opened, and out walked Corinne.
Hearing the noise, Phoebe turned to the direction it was coming from.
“Who... Who are you?” she asked in shock when she saw Corinne.
Corinne said nothing and simply glared at Phoebe. ‘So this is the woman who pretended to be best friends with my mother, just
to steal her husband away from her. And she’s instigating her son to fight Lucas for the family business? Pah! What a vile,
greedy woman!’
Even though Corinne had no love for Sunny, what spurred her even more was not wanting to see that homewrecker Phoebe get
what she wanted.
Phoebe grew uncomfortable by the way Corinne silently glared at her. Frowning, she turned to ask her son, “Sunny, who’s this?
Why didn’t you tell me there’s someone else in your room?”
‘How stupid can he get? He should’ve told me someone else was in the room. I wonder how much this girl had heard of our
conversation...’ thought Phoebe.
Sunny looked at Corinne and said, “Mom, she’s...”
“Mister Sunny, did you manage to solve the question just now?” interrupted Corinne.
Stunned by the sudden interruption, it took a while before Sunny answered, “I know how to do it, but I haven’t got to the answer
yet... Don’t you dare underestimate me, Corinne. Just
wait there and I’ll finish it now!”
“Very well, then. I can’t wait to see what answer you come up with,” Corinne said with a smile.
Through their conversation, realization suddenly dawned on Phoebe. “Oh, so you’re the home tutor? Sunny, did Lucas get you
another tutor again?”
Sunny was so focused on proving himself that he did not hear Phoebe’s question. Even so, Phoebe was sure Corinne was a
home tutor from how she worked at Sunny as soon as she came out of the bathroom.
