Chapter 445
“I bumped into a friend and we had lunch together,” answered Corinne.
“A friend? Who?”
Corinne massaged her temples. Then her eyes became sharp. “It doesn’t matter who it is. Aaron, I want you to look
into the Rivera family. Especially Lucas Rivera. Get me as mucxo.com fast updateh information about him as
you possibly can.”
“Yes, boss!” He did not even question why but immediately picked up his phone to make a call.
Corinne leaned lazily against the sofa and closed her eyes. She was two months along in her pregnancy and it
made her easily tired. She did not seem to have the same level of energy as
before.
She was living in Thalassa with Aaron for the past month while Xante stayed back in New Capital City to take care of
the business. Sometimes, she would visit them in Thalassa.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThis one month, Corinne looked into her mother’s identity but there was no progress. Going by the information
Marvin gave her, she searched the entire student database at Thalassa University but there was never a student by
the name of Em Love, either past or present.
She even called Marvin again just to make sure he gave her the right information to which the latter insisted that
the information he gave her was accurate. Her mother was called Em Love and she was the campus belle in
Thalassa University.
Corinne had nothing to go on with after that so she wanted to meet Michel to see if he could give her any new
information about her mother. However, it was just her rotten luck that Michel could not come to the exhibition
because his wife fell sick.
Therefore, imagine her surprise when she learned something shocking about her mother from someone none
other than Jason.
Aaron hung up his phone and said, “Boss, I got the information you want!”
Corinne opened her eyes. “I’m listening.”
Aaron read out the information his subordinate sent him, “The Riveras come from a long line of scholars and are
one of the most distinguished families in New Capital City. The older generations were all important figures who
contributed much to the society. Lucas Rivera is the son of Maxwell Rivera and Emily Lovelace, who herself happens
to come from a very prominent family in Thalassa.”
‘Emily Lovelace? This name is so close to Em Love that it couldn’t possibly be a coincidence. They must be the
same person! Mister Carew didn’t give me the wrong name after all. Mom must have told her classmates a
shortened version of her name!’ thought Corinne.
“Continue,” said Corinne after a while.
“Later, Emily Lovelace was chased out of the house after the Riveras found out she had an
affair and gave birth to a daughter with another man. However, to save their reputation, the Rivera declared the
mother and daughter as missing.”
Corinne frowned and said, “That’s impossible!”
She could not believe her sweet and gentle mother would ever do something like that. Aaron must have guessed
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwhat was going on in her mind so he stopped talking. He knew from the very moment Corinne asked him to look
into the Riveras that they had something to do with Corinne’s missing mother.
Corinne pinched the center of her brows. She remained silent for a moment before finally saying, “Aaron, go find
out what jobs are available in Rivera Group right now.”
Aaron did a double-take. Then he immediately did as she said. “Boss, the Rivera Group is looking to hire a secretary
for its president, Lucas Rivera.”
Corinne narrowed her eyes and made up her mind that instant. “Aaron, pack your things. We’re going back to New
Capital City tomorrow.”
A worried frown appeared on Aaron’s face. “Boss, you’re not going to apply for the job, are you?”
“Of course I am.”
“But everyone knows how notoriously difficult Lucas can be. Not to mention, you had all those unhappy
misunderstandings with him. He’ll make your life difficult if you become his
secretary.”
“Well, he’s my best bet on finding my mother now so I’m willing to take the risk.”
