Chapter 376


    It did not make any difference which of Marvin’s daughters was married into the Holden family because


    it would still


    make him Jeremy’s father–inw. However, deep down in his heart, he wanted his favorite daughter–


    Sherlyn–to be Jeremy’s wife.


    Marvin did not care much for Corinne since they never lived together as a family. No, she was raised in


    the countryside – away from him–so even if she married into a wealthy family, he would not get


    jacksh*t.


    ‘That little brat has been hiding in the Holdens‘ estate since she married into the family. She didn’t even


    visit us once! What an ungrateful child she is!‘ thought Marvin.


    Marvin felt that it would be better if Sherlyn were the one who married Jeremy so that he, as her father,


    could share the glory with his daughter.


    The three members of the Carew family discussed how to make Corinne pay for her insolence when


    Anya silently got up and left their ce with a smug smile on her face. Her objective of visiting the


    Carew family had been attained.


    Although she had been living abroad all these years, she kept a finger on the pulse of the happenings


    back in her home


    country.


    To get Greg off his back about marriage, Jeremy came up with a n to find a random woman who


    would be willing to go into a fake marriage with him. Initially, he found a woman named Sophia who


    came from a long line of martial artists in a


    apter 358


    country called Cativa.


    However, Lady Luck must not be smiling down on Sophia that day because her ne was dyed due


    to bad weather, so she missed the engagement party with Jeremy.


    Due to this, Jeremy–in his desperation–had no choice but to rope Corinne into being his fiancee. As for


    how he did that, Anya did not know.


    However, Anya learned Sherlyn had officially announced she was to wed and quit the entertainment


    industry after Jeremy sent Tommy to deliver the engagement gift to the Carews. Something must have


    happened in between because, for reasons unknown to her, Corinne – and not Sherlyn–was the one


    who married into the Holden family.


    Therefore, Anya could not help but think that Corinne, in a bid to marry into a wealthy family, must have


    done something to Sherlyn so that Jeremy would choose to marry her instead.


    Anya had hired someone to look into the matter and learned that the Carew family did hold a wedding


    banquet for Sherlyn that day. They made the whole thing as high–profile as


    possible, and they imed that their eldest daughter was going to marry Jeremy, the heir of the most


    notable family in the whole city.


    However, Jeremy never went to the wedding banquet. It was all for naught, and thus, Sherlyn and her


    parents became aughingstock of their friends and rtives. After finding this out, Anya decided to


    use this information to drive a wedge between Corinne and her adopted family. It would be best if


    Sherlyn could swap ces with Corinne!


    Anya could tell with one nce that Sherlyn was a typical


    starlet, one that the entertainment industry was teeming with. Therefore, she was sure Jeremy would


    not be attracted to her. Corinne, however, was different. She had a certain, unique quality to her, one


    that was pure but down–to–earth, honest but cheeky, and cute but tough. It was a genuine personality,


    not faked.


    It was the kind of free–spiritedness that was new to Jeremy, new and fatally attractive, so even if Anya


    could not get rid of Corinne this time, she would make her suffer for a while. Anya wanted Jeremy to


    see for himself that no matter how special Corinne was, she was nothing but a girl from a middle–ss


    family whose parents only had money in their minds.


    Anya was sure that once Jeremy knew what kind of


    background Corinne came from, he would no doubt fall out of love with Corinne.


    In any case, Anya could not wait to see how the drama would unfold in the Holden family tomorrow.


    It was raining outside when Corinne and Jeremy finished their dinner in the Italian restaurant. The two


    of them went outside, and Tommy immediately passed Jeremy an open umbre.


    Jeremy took the umbre and swiveled it toward Corinne naturally. “How do you want to go home


    today? Subway or bus?”


    she


    Corinne raised an eyebrow and looked at the rain. Then, tilted her head to look at Jeremy and said,


    “Let’s take your car since it’s already here. It’ll be a bit of an overkill if I insist that you take the bus or


    subway with me in this kind of weather. I might not be a typical good girl, Mister, but I’m not a dramaThis belongs to N?velDrama.Org.
