A hint of coldness flashed across Jeremy’s eyes as he heard Marvin’s fickle remark.

‘How can someone like him be worthy of being a father?! Just what sort of family environment did Corinne grow up in?’

Jeremy narrowed his eyes frigidly and said, “First of all, you need to live up to your position as a father to my wife, and then I’ll show you respect and accept you as my father-in-law. You’ve been incompetent in your role as a father to Corinne, so to me, you’re not even worth being treated as a human.”

Marvin felt intense pressure and guilt, still wanting to argue with Jeremy. However, as soon as he met the cold eyes of his son-in-law’, he suddenly felt an unprecedented fear and hist words were stuck in his throat. His son-in-law’s attitude toward him had changed completely compared to before.

When they met for the first time, the handsome and imposing young man still showed hints of respect and courtesy toward him, but all he could see in Jeremy’s eyes then was an abyssal coldness and a threat of danger.

That was when Marvin fully understood that he was nothing in front of that man. What little courtesy that he received from Jeremy was credited in large part due to his younger daughter, Corinne. Without her, he could not step foot into the Holdens’ home.

As for his eldest daughter, Sherlyn, the prospect of switching her and Corinne position was completely out of the question. Marvin was getting old, and though he did not want to be a

shoe-shiner or a bootlicker, he did not want to miss out on the chance to finally be associated with a first-tier family as an in- law.

Marvin then put on a fatherly smile as he turned to his

youngest daughter Corinne and looked cheerfully at her. He then explained to her using a gentle tone.

“Please don’t misunderstand, Corinne. I drank a bit of wine before coming here today, and I only said all those stupid things to you because I was drunk. To tell you the truth, I was just angry that you were always away from home.

“You made me so worried, especially when you didn’t tell me about your marriage! I rushed here to see you as soon as I knew that you were at the Holdens. Please tell your dear husband not to chase me, his father-in-law, away!” S~ᴇaʀᴄh the Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Corinne was still in Jeremy’s embrace, and after hearing Marvin’s words, she slowly turned her head to look at the familiar-looking man who felt like a stranger to her.

“You’re Sherlyn’s father, not mine. You didn’t come here to see me. You came here to try and kick me out and replace me with your precious daughter Sherlyn.”

The smile on Marvin’s face froze, and deep down, he was

angry as his youngest daughter for being so ungrateful. However, he had no choice but to smile even more in Jeremy’s presence. “Didn’t I just tell you that it was a

misunderstanding, Corinne? You don’t need to be so alienated from me. We can always talk things out!’

Corinne’s lips curled into a smirk and there was a touch of sarcasm in her eyes.

At that moment, she suddenly felt thankful that a spineless and unprincipled man like Marvin turned out not to be her biological father. Otherwise, she would have hated herself for inheriting those genes.

She ignored Marvin, cocked her eyebrow, and said to Bowen who was waiting not far away, “You remember their faces,

don’t you, Bowen? You don’t need to be polite to them if they ever show up here in the future.”

“Yes, ma’am!”

Bowen bowed his head respectfully in response. He then raised his chin, signaling for the idle servants to chase Marvin out and let him join his wife and daughter.

Upon seeing that he was not going to get any benefits, Marvin became a little frustrated and started thrashing about to smash everyone around him. His true colors were finally revealed.

As he was being dragged out by the servants, Marvin gritted his teeth and reprimanded loudly, “Corinne ! You… You’re a terrible daughter! How dare you treat your father like this? Watch out, because your actions will only incur God’s wrath. Karma will get to you!”

Jeremy’s eyes turned cold and he could not bear to hear

someone cursing at Corinne. He then looked up at Bowen and hinted at the latter to teach Marvin a lesson before letting them leave.
