“You should just live your life as a wealthy man’s wife and forget about the past. I once promised your mother that I would not let her enemy find you so that her soul can rest in peace in heaven,” said Marvin.
Corinne was stunned to hear her father

who did not show her any affection before something like this to her. ‘Maybe he’s being nice to me ’cause he still has feelings for my mom,’ she thought.
Corinne smiled and said, “Thank you for telling me that. I’ll live a good life and protect myself. Goodbye, Mister Carew.”
She then walked out of the room at a leisurely pace.

Marvin frowned and let out a long sigh. The fact that Corinne grew up to be twenty years old meant that he already did his part in keeping her safe, just as he promised Emily. It would not be any more of his responsibility should anything happen to Corinne in the future for that girl already spread her wings and fly.
A few burly men were moving the engagement gifts out of the Carew’s mansion downstairs.
“Hey! Who are you people? How dare you barge in here and steal our stuff? Put them down! All this stuff belongs to me! You can’t take them away!” shouted Sherlyn hysterically.
“She’s right! You can’t take our stuff away! I’m going to call the police if you don’t put them. down and leave our house right away!” said Lilliana.
Corinne walked leisurely down the stairs and said, “I was the one who ordered them to take the engagement gifts away.”
Sherlyn looked up and glared at her with red eyes. “Corinne, you b*tch! What right do you have to take our stuff away?”
Corinne smiled. “Of course, I have a right since the engagement gifts were given to me by my husband. Don’t you think that’s reason enough?”
Sherlyn gritted her teeth. “Not only did you steal my man but now you’re stealing away the engagement gifts? I swear to god, Corinne, that I’m going to kill you if it’s the last thing I do!”
She then pounced on her but Lilliana who was the calmer of the two-stopped her.”
–
Sherlyn, calm down! Don’t do anything impulsive!”
“What is it now? What’s all the fuss about? When will the two of you ever give me some peach and quiet?”
Marvin heard the commotion downstairs so he came down from his study to take a look.
Marvin thought about it and answered, “Just one more.”
“And that is?”
“Your mother loves art. She’s quite a well-known painter in the country and the name she used to sign off her paintings is Nellie Nymphaea.”
“I already know about this.”
“As far as I know, the teacher who taught your mother to paint is the world-famous painter, Michel. If you can get a hold of him, he might be able to tell you more about your mother.”
Corinne nodded. “Okay, I know what I have to do now. Thank you for telling me all this, Mister Carew.”
She then got up and was heading out of the study when Marvin called out her name.
“Corinne.”
Corinne stopped walking and looked back at him. “Do you have anything else to add, Mister Carew?”
Marvin looked at Corinne – who looked more and more like Em – with mixed emotions. Corinne was the child of his first love. On one hand, he wanted to love her as much as he loved Em but on the other, he was at the same time repulsed by the fact that the child’s father was another man. That was why he did not hesitate to send Corinne to live in the countryside. Out of sight, out of mind, so to speak.
Marvin frowned and said, “Don’t say I didn’t warn you but it’s best if you don’t look for mother.”
“Why is that?”
“I don’t know what exactly happened to your mother but she repeatedly told me that no matter what, no one should ever find out you’re her daughter. ‘Cause otherwise, you’ll be killed.”
