Chapter 553
Lucas pushed away Anya emotionlessly.
This was the first time he ever pushed her away so she started to panic.
“Lucas, what’s the matter with you?”
Lucas coldly threw the phone at her and said, “See for yourself!”
Anya caught the phone and all the colors immediately drained out of her face when she saw the content. ‘How is
this possible? How did she recover the chat history?’
“No! Lucas, this must be fake! I didn’t send anything like that! I didn’t! It must be fake! You can’t possibly believe I’d
do something like that.”
Even with the conclusive evidence staring her right in the face, Anya still insisted that it was fake. However, how

Lucas looked at the hysterical and unrepentant Anya and thought how unlike she was from her previous gentle and
kind character. Suddenly, a smear of disgust appeared in his eyes. ‘When did she become like this?’
Corinne yawned lazily, looked at Anya, and said to Lucas, “If you think the conversation is fake, you’re more than
welcome to ask the software engineer to check or take it to the police station to authenticate it. But I can tell you
what the answer will be regardless.”
“Corinne Carew, stop trying to make Lucas lose his trust in me! I get it now. You must be jealous that I have
someone who dotes on me so much that you came up with this idea to drive a wedge between us!”
Anya glared vehemently at Corinne before turning to Lucas crying and pleading, “Lucas, you have to believe me!
Don’t be swayed by that fake conversation. They’re working together to frame me, I tell you!”
Lucas frowned in both disgust and disappointment. “Anya, I can tell the conversation isn’t fake. I might have
thought you’re still saveable if you admit your mistake and sincerely repent right now but you’ve let me down.”
Never in her life would Anya imagine the brother who doted on her would ever find her repulsive. So shocked was
she that her heart turned into ice. “No! Lucas, I didn’t, I didn’t! It’s Corinne! She’s the one who-”
Lucas pinched the space between his brows, not wanting to waste his breath on this
unrepentant little sister of his. He started to blame himself for spoiling her too much. ‘It’s all
fault that she turned out like this.”

“Lucas, you have to believe me! I didn’t!” Anya kept crying and crying until her eyes suddenly
rolled backward and she passed out. The shock was just too much for her to bear.
Fortunately, Edmund caught her in time because if not, she would have hit her head on the
floor.

Seeing Anya about to fall, Lucas instinctively reached out his hands to catch her, but in the end, he quickly pulled
them back because he did not want to come in any physical contact with a stranger who disappointed him so much.
Edmund propped Anya up and asked, “Mister Lucas, what should we do with Miss Anya?”
Lucas was feeling a mixed bag of emotions. There was worry, annoyance, and helplessness.
“Take her to the hospital.”
“Yes, Mister Lucas.”
Edmund scooped Anya up and quickly walked out of the restaurant.
Lucas, too, started to make his way outside, thinking that was the end of the matter.
“Wait!” shouted Corinne.
Lucas stopped in his tracks, turned around, and looked at Corinne unkindly. “Yes?”
Corinne walked up to him and looked at him with her clear, bright eyes.
“Don’t you think you and your sister owe me an apology?” she asked solemnly.
Lucas frowned and narrowed his eyes. For a moment there, he thought she was joking. “You want me to apologize
to you right now?”
