Cedric agreed with Lucas. "He's right! Phoebe, you shouldn't have frightened my savior like that! Apologize to her

now!"

No matter how proud Phoebe was and how much she was unwilling to apologize to Corinne, she had no choice but

to do so since Cedric had spoken. Defying his orders would just make her seem like a bad daughter-in -law.

'Hmph! I'll show this stupid girl what I'm made of. There'll be time later to teach her a lesson,' she told herself.

Thus, she squeezed out a smile and said courteously, "I'm sorry, Miss Corinne. It was my fault for treating you, our

esteemed guest, so rudely."

Corinne smiled. "I accept your apology since you didn't do it on purpose. No one told you who I was, after all.”

Phoebe's smile froze. 'What is this little b*tch implying? Does she think I'm not important enough in this family, and

that's why no one told me of her arrival? Ugh, I wish she'll just drop dead. No, I must not let my guard down around

this sneaky little b*tch.'

Lucas still had his rose-colored glasses on when it came to Corinne, so he did not catch on to her sneak attack. In

any case, it would always be other people's fault when it came to his precious Luna. He decided to let the matter

rest after seeing Corinne had returned to her calm self.

He then walked over to the table and pulled out one of the chairs. "Corinne, sit here."

Unlike all the previous times, Corinne decided to take up on his offer to annoy Phoebe and Anya. She sat next to

Beatrice, which was where Anya usually sat. Seeing Corinne taking up her place caused Anya's eyes to redden with

anger. She nearly lost it but managed to calm herself, though she could not help but grit her teeth.

'F*ck. I can’t believe Lucas let an outsider like her sit in my place!'

After Corinne sat down, Lucas pulled out the other chair and sat down beside her.

Beatrice placed a chicken drumstick on Corinne's plate. "You must be hungry, dear. Eat this."

Corinne smiled politely. "Thank you. Grandma Beatrice, but I can't finish all the food here."

"Grandpa Cedric and I didn't know what you like to eat, so we asked the kitchen to prepare all kinds of food. Don't

be shy, okay? Just eat whatever you like."

"Yes, don't be shy, Corinne! You can eat whatever you want, and if there's something you don't like, just ask Lucas

here to take it away from you," said Cedric.

Corinne felt a little pressured when she saw just how much food was on the table. "But this is too much..."

"Just take it as a kind gesture from Grandpa and Grandma. In any case, you can just eat how much you want,’ said

Lucas gently as he put some of the salad he made himself on Corinne's plate. Of course, he had an ulterior motive

for doing that since he remembered Corinne used to like this kind of salad when she was little.

Anya dug her fingernails into her palm when she saw how loving everyone was behaving toward Corinne.

At that moment, Maxwell came in and first greeted Cedric and Beatrice." Hello, Mom and Dad."

Cedric nodded and introduced Corinne to him. "Maxwell, this was the girl who saved me last time."

Maxwell sat next to Cedric before turning to look at Corinne. He nodded and smiled at her. "We met in the garden.

Miss Corinne, I didn't get the chance to thank you properly then, so thank you for helping my father."

Corinne did not want to talk to her good-for-nothing father, so she replied indifferently, "There's no need to thank

me. I was just doing what anyone else would've done."
