Corrine hurriedly caught up to that figure, and with a lunge, she blocked in front of him.
He was a man dressed in a servant’s uniform. He was not very young, appearing to be in his
40s.
“Who are you? Why are you running away?”
With his path blocked off, he shook his head a little unnaturally and said, “I am an old servant here, I-I’m not
running away. I’m just in a hurry to take some things from the kitchen and bring them to the banquet hall.”
Corrine squinted her eyes. “It was obvious that you were staring at me in secret, and you only ran off when you
were found out by me!”
The servant shook his head fervently. “No, I did not!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtCorrine raised an eyebrow. “Don’t want to be truthful, do you? Then I shall report you as a pervert to the head of
your household!”
He panicked and quickly said, “No, please don’t! I didn’t mean any harm!”
“Then tell me the truth, why were you spying on me just now?”
“I-I just feel that your side profile looks a lot like the young miss who went missing lots xo.com fast updateof
years ago, so when I saw your face I was a little out of it. I thought that she was back. That’s why I stared at you for
so long. But when you turned your face, I realized I mistook you for her. I felt so awkward and wanted to leave
immediately. I’m sorry to have offended you!”
After Corrine heard his explanation, she loosened up, and she became calmer, “Young miss? Is she the woman
holding the baby in that portrait?”
He nodded, “Yes, that’s her.”
Corrine looked at the portrait from afar. “Do I look like her?”
Talking about the young miss in his mind, a respectful and longing expression appeared on his face, and he said,
“Yes, the side of your face looks like her when she was young, but seeing you from the front, although there is a
little bit of resemblance, you do not look exactly like her.”
Seeing that he seemed to have a crush and secret admiration for her mother, Corrine let out a sigh out of
sympathy and continued to ask inquisitively, “Why would she go missing?”
The servant frowned and said with resentment, “She married a bad husband, and that family-
“Corrine, why are you inquiring about all of these?” A sudden voice of an unfriendly woman was heard, and it
interrupted what the servant was about to say.

arrogant look on her face. Her gaze was vigilant as if guarding against a thief.

Seeing that he left without finishing saying what he had to say, Corrine could not help but feel that it was a pity. She
had a feeling that if she could let him finish what he wanted to say, maybe she could have gotten more new clues
about the truth of her mother’s disappearance.
“Corrine, I’m talking to you! What is your purpose for asking about Lucas’s mother at Mister Maxwell’s birthday
party?” Rosie asked aggressively.
Corrine snapped out of her thought and looked at her lazily. “I saw that the woman in the portrait is so beautiful and
got a little curious, so I was just asking.”
“Just asking? I think you have an ulterior motive!” Rosie’s eyes were not only filled with her hatred toward Corrine
but also with a heavy defense against her. “I just heard from Anya that you were also here for Mister Maxwell’s
birthday, and I knew things were not as simple as that! You have nothing to do with the Lovelaces, so why are you
here? And here you are, secretly inquiring about Lucas’s mother! Corrine, are you getting any silly ideas about
Lucas, and want to know more about his family background so that you can use it to your advantage?”
Corrine rolled her eyes and was too lazy to explain herself. She turned and walked away! “Stop right there! You are
not allowed to leave!” Rosie shouted at her.
