Lilliana scoffed. “Oh, please! Stop using Jeremy to scare us. He would’ve been Sherlyn’s husband if you didn’t come in

between them! My Sherlyn would have been the real Missus Holden then!”

Lilliana would get so worked up every time she remembered what could have been.

Corinne was speechless at just how confident Lilliana and

Sherlyn were. Even now, they still did not give up on the belief that Sherlyn was the woman Jeremy wanted to marry in the first place.

‘Ha! As if Mister will ever fall for someone as pretentious as Sherlyn!’ thought Corinne.

At that moment, Marvin just woke up from his afternoon nap. Still yawning, he walked down the stairs and came to the entrance after he heard the commotion outside. Sᴇaʀᴄh thᴇ Findɴovel.ɴet website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

His eyebrows immediately shot up when he saw it was Corinne at the door. “Oh, it’s you, Corinne. How dare you come back?!”

Corinne noticed his face still carried the injuries from before; his eyes and nose were all swollen and bruised, making him look like a defeated boxer.

‘The servants must have dragged him out and beat him up when he came to the mansion with Sherlyn and Aunt Lilliana that day,’ thought Corinna.

After giving it some thought, she finally nodded and said, ” Yeah, I’ve come back, and why not? It’s not like I’ve done

2/3

anything wrong.”

Marvin glared at her and gritted his teeth. He took one big step forward and pushed Sherlyn and Lilliana to the side. He then pointed angrily at Corinne and shouted, “You ungrateful child! You should be ashamed to come back! How dare you order the servants to beat me up and chase me away? I swear to god, if I don’t teach you a lesson today, my name is not Marvin Carew!”

He raised his hand and brought it down hard on Corinne’s face but before his hand could make the connection, Corinne reached out her hand and grabbed his wrist without any trouble at all. “Mister Carew, I would advise you to not act so rashly. Why don’t you come down ’cause I’d like to talk to you in private.”

This was not the first time Marvin wanted to hit Corinne.

However, in the past, she never doubted whether he was her biological father so she would always give him a little bit of leeway. Whenever he wanted to hit her, she would simply dodge his attack, instead of grabbing his wrist like she did now. She did not want to be hit nor did she want to humiliate Marvin.

This was the first time she put a stop to his physical abuse. She held Marvin’s wrist firmly in her hand. The expression on her face showed no respect or sympathy for him.

Marvin got fat with age so he was confident he was stronger than Corinne. However, to his surprise, he could not even shake off Corinne’s – who was smaller and thinner than him

grip.

‘When did she get so strong? Is she the same person as the annoying little brat I know her to be?’ thought Marvin.

Humiliation washed over him and he blamed Corinne for causing him to lose his dignity as a father. “Are you out of your mind, Corinne? How dare you raise your hand against me? You’ll go to h*ll for this!” he shouted angrily.

Corinne held his wrist calmly. “Please calm down, Mister Carew. I have something to ask you and I only expect only the truth from you. If you do that, I can consider not taking back the engagement gifts,” she said lightly and slowly.

Marvin was speechless. ‘So the reason she came here is to take back the engagement gifts? D*mn if I’m going to let her do that! Why, those engagement gifts were the most expensive things I’ve ever laid eyes on in my life!’
