Rosie’s eyes lit up when she saw the man who spoke, and her tone became gentle as she said, “Lucas, you’re here!”

Rosie’s sudden lovestruck reaction prompted Corinne to turn around and have a look at who it was.

The man behind her was tall and slender. He wore a finely tailored light–gray suit, and there was a touch of warm handsomeness to his expression. His beautiful long eyes were like an artist’s portrayal of a charming man, with a hint of estrangement added to his demeanor. He exuded the condescending look of the high–bred member of society, like a god bereft of earthly influence as he stood high above all men.

He looked at Corinne when she turned to look at him, and he recognized Corinne immediately. “You?”

Corinne also recognized him as the grandson of the blind elderly man from the previous day.

Seeing Lucas chatting with Corinne, Rosie panicked and had her guard up as she asked with a smirk, “Do you know Corinne?”

Lucas glanced at Rosie insipidly before turning his warm yet distant gaze back toward Corinne. “Your name is Corinne?”

Corinne nodded. “Yes. My name is Corinne.”

Lucas did not say anything more and simply raised his hand elegantly, signaling to his secretary, Edmund, for his wallet. He took it from Edmund, opened it, and signed a checkbook inside before tearing it off and handing it to Corinne. He then said politely, “I caught wind that you felt that I gave you too little. Take a look at this check and tell me if it’s better.”

Corinne looked down at the check that was handed to her. This time, it was a check filled with a specific number, 750,000 dollars, which was one zero more than the previous day.

Rosie looked at them in a daze, for she was puzzled as to why Lucas would give Corinne such a large check. Though she wanted to ask him, she did not dare to be rash and interrupt them.

Corinne cocked her eyebrow. “Sir, do you think seven–hundred -and–fifty million can buy a person’s dignity?”

Lucas’s noble and handsome face was unmoved. He smiled and responded to her without answering her question, “Generally speaking, it doesn’t take this much to buy the dignity of an ordinary person.”

Corinne looked at him with a bright, clear gaze. “So, what you’re saying is, you think that as long as you have enough money, you can buy anyone’s dignity and everything that comes with a person?”

Lucas smiled gracefully. “Well, yeah.”

Corinne took the check with her gauze–wrapped hands, brought it to her nose to smell it, and smiled. She almost seemed unable to put it down. “Money smells amazing! Are you giving me this check, sir?”

“Indeed.” Contempt flashed across Lucas’s handsome eyes when he saw Corinne’s reaction after seeing all that money. He initially thought of her as being different from the others, but it seemed that she would be just as prone to money as long as the price was right.

All of a sudden, Corinne placed the check in Lucas’s hand again and said with a smile. “This amount of money can set an ordinary person up for life, but you’re very good–looking, and you seem to be worth a lot too. In that case, I’ll use this money to take care of you for an entire year!”

‘Take care of me?‘ Lucas was stunned and sullen. ‘What did she just say?‘

He never felt that offended by anyone in his 30 years of living.

Meanwhile, his secretary Edmund could not bear to see his master being teased by a woman like that and wanted to step forward to deal with her.

Rosie was just as angry too. “What are you talking about, Corinne? Who gave you the courage to talk to Lucas like that?!”

Lucas raised his hand, signaling Rosie and the secretary to step aside and not to interrupt.

He looked down at the check that had returned to his hand, narrowed his eyes, and said to her seriously, “Well, Miss Corinne, you saved my grandfather yesterday, and I intend to repay you out of gratitude. I bear no ill will. Are you sure you don’t want a single penny?”

Corinne shrugged. “I do. Didn’t I just say I’m using it to take care of you for an entire year?”

Lucas stared at her for a few seconds and smiled. “Oh? How do you plan to take care of me with this seven–hundred–and- fifty thousand?”

Corinne said curtly, “I want to make sure you don’t show up in front of me throughout the one–year duration!”

Lucas’s elegant smile froze, and he frowned.

Corinne’s playful eyes suddenly turned cold, and she snorted softly. “Kids like you from aristocratic families think that your charm is endless, and you’re always afraid that people will want to try and take advantage of you whenever they see you. That’s why you pay off people no matter what they do, and I’m sick of seeing people do that to me! Take the money and get out of my sight!”

Lucas, Edmund, and Rosie were all speechless.

At that moment, neither of them noticed that a tall figure had long been standing outside Ward 302. Jeremy heard Corinne’s voice talking with someone in the corridor, so he immediately got up and came out to check. That was when he witnessed how swiftly she dealt with Lucas, who was an arrogant and ruthless man notorious for being a difficult old fox in the business world. Even Jeremy had suffered in Lucas’s hands before.
