Chapter 372
Jeremy’s cold expression turned even gloomier. “I’ve never forgotten Anya’s kindness, and I will repay it for you.”
“Is that so?” Lucas sneered and glanced at Corinne with a hint of sarcasm.
Jeremy did not seem to have anything to argue aboutxo.com fast update
regarding that issue. He was only polite to the Riveras because Anya had saved him in the past. With no further
remarks, he immediately took Corinne’s hand, led her away, and said, ‘ Let’s go home.”
Rather than leaving, Corinne grabbed his hand in a signal for him to wait a while instead of leaving in such a hurry.
Jeremy stopped, frowned slightly, and glanced at her. ‘What does she want now?’
However, Corinne merely looked calmly at Lucas as she said, ” Can I ask you something, Mister Lucas? Do the
Riveras have a tradition where one must always pledge their lives to the person who saved them?”
Lucas narrowed his eyes. “What are you trying to say?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorinne smiled. “Does Jeremy have to pledge himself to your sister because she saved his life? Is it a sign of
ungratefulness if Jeremy doesn’t do that?”
Lucas kept quiet and waited for her to continue.
Corinne smiled slightly and cocked her eyebrow. “Remember when I saved your grandfather? According to your
logic, does. your grandfather have to pledge himself to me, too? Would
hapter 977
that mean you’ll have to call me ‘grandma‘ now?”
It was probably the first time Lucas had ever heard such an impudent remark, and his expression changed
suddenly as he asked, “What did you say?”
Even Sunny was stunned. ‘What nonsense is Corinne talking about?!‘
Yash and the other boys were stunned at first, then gasped in awe, and finally had to keep themselves from
laughing out loud. None of them expected that there someone would have been so brave as to talk to the Rivera’s
scion like that. Their worldview changed completely!
Jeremy frowned, glanced at Corinne with a complicated expression, and did not quite like the analogy she used
earlier.
Corinne continued, “What I’m trying to say is, the act of saving a person’s life should always be done out of the
kindness of one’s heart rather than for the sake of showing off, holding a person to emotional blackmail, or using
that person to secure benefits for oneself. Humans have the instinct to go forth and help those in need, and those
who have a heart will feel drawn to doing it. I trust that a good and considerate person like your sister wouldn’t
have rescued my man here simply because he was a pretty boy, would she?”
Jeremy raised his eyebrows. Though he was pleased to hear her call him ‘my man‘, he did not particularly like that
she called him a pretty boy. He did not know how to react to that statement, and he wondered if she was trying to
piss him off too.
Sunny’s gentle and handsome face was full of gloom at the moment, and he remained silent.

Corinne then added, “Jeremy has never been an ungrateful
person, and I don’t want to hear anyone call him that. While it’s true that your sister is Jeremy’s savior, Jeremy
never once abandoned your sister. My husband rushed to save your sister when he received a call from her, and
she even called him to ask him to send her home. Can you imagine a noble person like him having to do all that?
Hasn’t he been helping your sister whenever she faces a problem?
“If your sister is sick and needs blood transfusions or an organ donation, I firmly believe that Jeremy will feel obliged
to donate without any objections. However, subjecting him to emotional blackmail will give the impression that the
Riveras are crass and undignified!”
Lucas was silent. It was the first time in his life that something like that happened to him, and he had no idea what
to reply to Corinne.
Meanwhile, Edmund was frustrated because that was also his first time seeing his employer being scolded by a little
girl. Despite wanting to vent his anger on Lucas’s behalf, he did not dare to act rashly and speak out of turn when
Lucas was silent.
