“It wasn’t until I started imitating Luna’s quirks, habits, and looks did Lucas accept me as his sister! I was just a
replacement for his long-lost sister. Everything he’s done for me is an attempt to assuage his regret toward his
sister! Not only am I not thankful toward him, but I feel he’s a hypocrite,” said Anya.
Corinne was stunned. After a moment of silence, she asked, “What about Sunny? From what I can tell, he treats you
really well…doesn’t he?”
Anya rolled her eyes. “He’s nothing but a stupid, ungrateful brat. He’s only nice to me because I’ll put in a few good
words for him to Lucas when he screws up his test. That way, he’ll get a lesser punishment.
“He became taken in by you and kept telling me how great you are. Hmph! If I didn’t know any better, I would’ve

“Then what about Jeremy? How did he use you? You lied to him about saving him, right? That was why he treated
you as his savior,” said Corinne.
Anya’s expression softened at the mention of Jeremy. “He was good to me before you came into the picture. Even
so, I knew he didn’t do it out of love for me. He was just trying to pay me back for saving him.
“Not to mention, he knew I’d tell him everything I know about what’s going on in my family company. You see, not
only do both of our families hold a grudge against each other, but Rivera Group is Holden Group’s biggest
competitor. There were a few instances where he was able to easily outbid my brother for multi-million projects by
using the information I gave him.”
Corinne took a few seconds to digest what Anya told her before asking again, “What about Francine? She always
wanted you to be her sister-in-law. She didn’t hide the fact she hates me and kept causing me trouble when I first
moved in with Jeremy.”
A look of contempt filled Anya’s eyes at the mention of Francine. “Why, she’s the most shallow and basic girl I’ve
ever met! She’s nice to me ’cause she knows I’m willing to buy her branded bags, shoes, and clothes.
“She’s the illegitimate daughter Jeremy’s father had with another woman, and the only reason she was allowed to
live with the main family is because she’s the first daughter in so many generations of sons.
“Even though she grew up living at the mansion, she didn’t have that much money to throw around since her
grandparents kept a tight lid on her spending. She hasn’t really been exposed to high-end brands. I’d give her the
bags and shoes I deem too ugly to sell. Whenever that happens, that stupid girl will jump for joy and run around me
like a little puppy.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmCorinne was struck speechless. It took her a while to ask Anya the final question. “Then…surely Rosie is the
exception to all these people?”
Anya had just as much contempt for Rosie as she had for Francine. “Rosie? I’ve never once thought of her as my
best friend. It’s very obvious she’s only nice to me because she wants to use me to get closer to Lucas and marry
into our family.”
“Then did you ever have the intention to set her up with Mister Lucas?”
Anya scoffed. “Of course not! Who does she think she is? My brother is one of the richest men in this country while
she’s just a third-rate socialite. She’s beneath Lucas, and letting her marry into the family will drag our family name
down, too! Though, I guess I should thank her for getting rid of you.”
