Corinne looked at Jeremy, blinked sheepishly, and mumbled in response sleepily.Jeremy had changed into a new set of formal wear. Tommy must have brought it to him.Corinne thought for a while and said, "Um… My clothes are unwearable. Can you please have someone bring me a new set of clothes?"Jeremy glanced at the torn clothes on the floor. He narrowed his eyes as he recalled he nearly tore the little rascal into pieces. It was a satisfying night that he would remember forever.He raised his hand to pass a shopping bag to her that he just brought in. "Tommy bought these in the shopping mall. The size may not fit you, but put these on for now. You can change into your clothes after we get home."Corinne accepted it. "Thank you."She went into the bathroom to freshen up and put on the clothes. It was a dress that straightforward men would like. The size was one size too big, but she luckily could still wear them.After she had put on the clothes, she came out and saw Jeremy smoki
Jeremy turned his head and asked Corinne, "Where would you like to go now?"She answered, "My home, please. Thanks."Jeremy started the car and drove into traffic as he said in a flat tone, "Quit your job as an assistant. I asked Tommy to arrange a job for you because I wanted you to have a means of killing time, not to let you be at someone else's beck and call."Corinne turned to look at the man, and she had a pensive expression on her face.In her role as the dignified 'Missus Holden', working as an assistant to some small-time celebrity would only affect Jeremy's reputation. Going by that reasoning, she accepted his request and said, "I still have some things to wrap up, but I'll quit the job as soon as I'm done."Jeremy did not say a word and sent her back to her house.After getting out of the car, Corinne suddenly thought of something and leaned against the car window. "Could you lend me some money, Mister? The kidnappers threw my phone away yesterday, and I don't have any
Corinne wiped her hands slowly after taking tissue from the tissue box on the table. "Why shouldn't I hit you when the two of you have been up to no good?"Had it not been for their underhanded means, she would not have lost her virginity the night before!When Lillianna saw that Corinne was acting uncharacteristically odd, she gritted her teeth with hatred and said, "I knew you were just pretending to be a good girl in front of your father! You're showing your true colors now that he's not around!”Corinne smiled faintly. "I could say the same for you, Aunt Lilliana. Your gentleness and obedience in front of my dad were all just a farce too, wasn't it? Do you need me to spell out what sort of horrendous behavior you did behind his back?"Lilliana felt choked by that, and she gritted her teeth before scolding angrily, "Don't you dare compare yourself to me. You're just a b*stard child!"Sherlyn sided with her mother and scolded, "My mom is right, Corinne! You're a motherless b*sta
Lilliana laughed and said, "Don't use your father to threaten me! Do you think I'm scared of telling you the truth? Who cares if I cheated on him? What's it to you if he isn't Sherlyn's father? Do you think your father will believe you if you tell him without any proof? Don't you know how much your father loves us? He believes everything we say, and even if he gets angry at us, he'll be fine after we butter him up a bit! If you tell him something without providing any evidence, he'll only think you're trying to drive a wedge between us! Save yourself the trouble!""Oh? Is that so?" Corinne smiled, turned her head, and shouted toward the door, "Did you hear that, Dad? Aunt Lilliana just admitted she cheated on you!"Both Lilliana and Sherlyn were taken aback by Corinne's remark and looked at the door in shock.The door of the house was kicked open, and Marvin walked in with a long face as he roared and cursed, "F*cking shameless b*tch!"When Sherlyn saw what had happened, she hurrie
Lilliana leaned into Marvin's arms and coughed twice. "I am an honest woman, and I'm not afraid of some test! Let's do it right now, Marvin! There's no point in me living anymore if we don't clear things up today and..." Before she finished, her eyes closed halfway, and she seemed to be in a state of half-unconscious pain."Mom! Mom?! Are you okay?!" Sherlyn rushed over, knelt beside Lilliana, and shook the unconscious woman's body anxiously. "Mom! Don't scare me! Don't leave me... Hic! Hic!"Marvin panicked, too. "Lilliana! Lilliana! Wake up..."Lilliana closed her eyes completely and pretended to lose consciousness.Sherlyn was not too worried because she could tell Lilliana was simply pretending. To play along with her mother, she cried and feigned resentment. "What else will it take for you to believe Mom? Corinne came back to provoke us on purpose! Didn't you notice that we're always at odds with each other every time she comes home? If something happens to Mom today, I don't
Corinne had an indifferent expression as she said, "I remember the doctor saying that she only has a minor scratch and doesn't need to be hospitalized. Aren't you the ones who insist on staying here?"Sherlyn gritted her teeth angrily and pointed at her. "You're still trying to argue...""Be quiet! Lilliana needs to rest now!" Marvin turned his head and glared irritably at Corinne. "You have no purpose being here, so it's best that you leave. We wouldn't want Lilliana waking up and getting angry again when she sees you here!"Sherlyn had a triumphant smile on her face when her father sided with her and chased Corinne away. 'You think you can snatch the love and trust Dad has toward us, Corinne? Well, keep dreaming!' She looked victoriously at Corinne and mouthed the words, "You deserve it!"Corinne was not at all bothered by Sherlyn's arrogant attitude, nor did she plan on doing as her father told her. She looked at Marvin calmly and reminded him, "Didn't you say that you were goin
Corinne looked at Lilliana and frowned. "Are you sure about that?"Lilliana laughed like a madwoman. "Did you think I'm that stupid not to know whose child I'm carrying? You made a huge mistake if you think you could use that against me, Corinne! The truth is, Sherlyn is Marvin's daughter! Hahahahaha!"Corinne frowned slightly as if a little annoyed. "But how? Why would Goran be willing to acknowledge another man's daughter like she was his own?"Lilliana's eyes flickered when Goran was mentioned, and she glanced disdainfully at her. "That's something a little b*tch like you don't deserve to know! Not that it matters, anyway. Your father is going to scold you to death once the results are out! Both Sherlyn and I will get more love and pity from your father after that!"The door of the ward was then pushed open violently, and Goran walked in with a sour expression. "It was all a lie then, Lilliana. Sherlyn isn't my daughter at all!"When Lilliana saw her old lover, Goran, she was s
"Godfather, there was a little misunderstanding in our family today, and my father's temper isn't at its best because he's in a bad mood. Please don't take it to heart!"Goran stopped, looked at Sherlyn contemptuously, and no longer had the tender loving care he once had for her in the past when she said, "You worry too much, Sherlyn. Why would I be offended by your father? You should go back and be with your parents, and don't call me 'godfather' anymore."Sherlyn was shocked to hear that. "Does this mean you don't want me anymore?"Goran said coldly, "Our relationship was built on a sham. This isn't a question of whether I want you or not. Please move aside. I have another appointment to attend."Sherlyn had the feeling that everything she built was crumbling in front of her, and she cautiously asked, "Then, what about my role…?"Goran smiled. "I've seen some of your previous works, and your acting skills are trash. I'll never use actresses like you in my works. Find someone els
