Chapter 182


    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 darepare


    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* stard


    child! I’m going to teach you a lesson on behalf of your shameless mother!” As she cursed, she


    charged forward and raised her hand to p Corinne.


    Rather than dodging, Corinne grabbed Sherlyn’s wrist firmly and asked, “I don’t need you to teach me a


    lesson! Why don’t you look in the mirror and ask yourself how you managed to secure the contract with


    Holden Group’s entertainment agency? I dare you to say it out loud.”


    Sherlyn was taken aback for a moment, and she was unable to withdraw her hand despite her best


    attempts to do so. She raised her chin arrogantly and said angrily, “It’s because I’m talented, and the


    higher-ups just had to sign me after I captured their eye!”


    Corinne flung off Sherlyn’s hand and said with a half-smile, “I think it’s because your godfather is the


    better person, right? By the way, does Dad know that you’ve acknowledged that man as your


    godfather?”


    Sherlyn stood firm, stared at Corinne, and snorted in disdain. “Is it wrong for me to have at godfather? I


    did it all for the sake of getting a better job and bringing honor to our family! And besides, my godfather


    and I have a pure father-daughter rtionship. It doesn’t scare me if Dad finds out!”


    Sherlyn had never been afraid of that at all. If she were, she would not have shown off to Corinne that


    the godfather in question was a great director and would have kept that a secret.

    Corinne nodded. “Sure, I believe that your rtionship with him is purely father and daughter, but I


    doubt that his rtionship with Aunt Lilliana is just as pure!”


    Sherlyn suddenly felt guilty, because she did not expect Corinne to know that much. She then quickly


    turned her head and looked at her mother Lilliana, who was rather calm as she said, “What do you


    mean by that, Corinne? Sherlyn has been appreciated by all her seniors at work, and it’s normal for her


    to be recognized as a goddaughter by them! What does this have anything to do with me?”


    Corinne looked at Lilliana and raised an eyebrow. “As far as I know, Goran had a first love before he


    became famous, and the two of them lived together for several years. That so-called first love


    happened to be named Lilliana Reece, too! Don’t you think it’s too big of a coincidence that his first


    love shares the same name as you?”


    Lilliana’s expression fluctuated dramatically. “How did you know that?”


    Corinne then added, “You’re a charming woman, Aunt Lilliana, and there has to be a reason your old


    lover is willing to help your daughter even though you’ve broken up with him so many years ago. He


    even acknowledges Sherlyn as his goddaughter now! Could it be… that Sherlyn is Goran’s daughter?”


    Lilliana pointed angrily at Corinne and said, “Stop making false usations, Corinne! What do you


    know? What evidence do you have for saying that?”


    Corinne spread her palms. “I don’t have any.”


    Lilliana knew that a country girl like Corinne could never find any evidence, so she had a rxed


    expression and folded her arms confidently. “I’d watch your words if I were you. If you keep making wild


    usations without showing any evidence, I’ll sue you for defamation!”


    Corinne sighed. “I’ll just tell Dad and let him find the evidence.”
