Chapter 339
However, Pam was wrong on one point–Corinne did love money, and very much so, though the only
money she liked was that which was earned through her abilities, and not money obtained by
opportunistic means such as marrying a man or pleasing him.
On the other end of the phone, Greg muttered angrily and said, “Come on! Is there any woman who
doesn’t like money? How can an old woman like you be so naive to believe that there are women who
don’t like money? That Corinne girl must’ve put a spell on you or something!”
Pam kept quiet as if to take a deep breath. Her voice became a little sullen, and it sounded like she
was trying to muster some strength. Even her tone sounded a little off–color. “Try to stay home these
couple of days. If you need to go out, you must remember to keep safe at all times. Jeremy will
probably be able to deal with this hubbub on the inte. I have something to take care of right now, so
let’s talk another time.”
Corinne responded obediently. “Okay, Grandma. Talk to you soon.”
Before she ended the call, she heard Pam’s roar from the other side. “D*mn you, Greg! Who did you
just call naive?”
The old man then yelled in pain. “Agh! Let go, Pam! I’m a sick man!”
“Oh, so you’re aware that you’re sick? You seem a little too energetic today, you old geezer!”
The phone call ended there and the rest of the conversation was left unheard.
Corinne was amused that the old couple acted like children. Though they sounded like they were
arguing, their rtionship seemed really strong, and it was not often that one saw such a happy couple.
At that moment, a video call notification popped up from the messaging app on herputer and the
chat box appeared too.
It turned out to be Sherlyn, and Corinne narrowed her eyes as she looked at the screen. Ever since she
found out that she was unrted to the Carews, she never contacted them again. She felt that there
was no reason to do so since there was no love lost between her and them. In addition, they also
seemed to feel that her existence was superfluous.
Therefore, Sherlyn must have had a reason for calling her.
After thinking about whether or not to ept the call, Corinne decided to answer it. However, she did
not turn on her camera. After all, she was at the Holdens, and there was luxury all around her. It would
lead to yet another issue if Sherlyn were to see all of that.
Sherlyn’s face soon appeared on theputer screen, and she pointed to the camera while turning her
head to say to Marvin, “Dad, she answered the call!”
Marvin immediately leaned in front of the camera, red at her, and asked in a loud voice, “Where the
hell have you been these days, Corinne? You haven’te home once, and you never pick up our
calls!”
In the past, Corinne would try to be respectful and polite to Marvin even though she did not feel
particrly attached to him, since she believed him to be her biological father at the time. After finding
out that she waspletely unrted to him by blood, she ditched whatever remaining bit of respect
and politeness that she had toward him.
Corinne responded calmly, “Did you want something from me?”This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
Marvin scolded her. “What kind of attitude is that? You went into hiding after doing all sorts of shameful
acts, and now, our family has lost our dignity and reputation! We’re making the headlines now, too!
People have sent wreaths and des to our home! Are you trying to shorten my life?” Corinne was
stunned for a moment. Those social media users were pretty quick to find out where the Carews lived.
It was clear that someone ‘in the know‘ had fanned the mes on the inte and leaked those rumors.
Perhaps it was only a matter of time before her marriage with Jeremy would be revealed.
