Chapter 709
“Oh come on, I’ve been alive longer than anyone here and have met countless people so don’t

think it’ll be easy for me to tell what a person is like with just one glance? Besides, who are you to judge her? Have
you ever wondered why I never thought of setting you up with her? Well, it’s because you’re not worthy of her at
all!’
Lucas’ eyebrow shot up. “How am I not worthy of her?”
Instead of looking at Lucas in a grandfatherly manner, Cedric revealed a face riddled with disgust. “As your
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtgrandfather, I know how devious you are despite the gentlemanly image you try to portray! Even if I set you up with
the best girl in town, you’ll only come to treat her like she’s a worthless piece of trash so it’ll be a grave sin for me
to set you up with Corinne.
Unlike Eddy, who’s a good kid even though he’s a late bloomer and a little too obsessed with his music. Corinne will
definitely end up happy if they’re together. Such a shame though…. How did a good girl like her end up with that
son of a b*tch?”
Lucas simply smiled, though it was one that did not reach his eyes and continued to sip on his tea. He was in
agreement with Cedric’s opinion of Jeremy but then again it was not like his own grandfather had a good opinion of
him either. ‘What kind of grandfather would talk about his own grandkid like that?’
However, the mention of Eddy brought back a memory from the past. Lucas remembered the two families went
way back to the point where they had agreed to an arranged marriage between the two grandkids when they were
still babies. However, it was not Anya who was promised to Eddy but Luna and since she went missing, the two
families had no choice but to put the marriage aside.
Cedric did have the idea of trying to salvage the arranged marriage by offering to replace Luna with Anya but
anyone and everyone in their circles knew Anya was madly in love with Jeremy since young so he crushed the idea
in the end.
Ever since then, Cedric had carried the guilt with him. He felt like he owed the Wildes and now that Mitchell was
terminally ill and did not have long to live, Cedric made it his mission to find a good girl for Eddy so that Mitchell
could die in peace.
‘Grandpa is known to be picky and he’s never taken a liking to Anya ’cause he thinks she’s not good enough… It’s

Come to think of it, it’s rare to see Jeremy getting all worked up like that too. My, it was certainly a sight to behold,’
thought Lucas with a smirk.
Meanwhile, inside the black car parked outside of the Riveras’ mansion.
Jeremy twisted open a bottle of mineral water for Corinne and asked, “What’s the matter? Do you regret what you
did just now?”
Corinne raised her eyebrow and accepted the mineral water. “Why should I regret anything?”
Jeremy opened another bottle of mineral water for himself and drank two mouthfuls before answering her,
“Weren’t you looking forward to go on a date with that Eddy guy? I bet you’re regretting turning down Mister
Cedric’s offer.
