Chapter 385


    Corinne nodded and walked leisurely toward the living room.


    “Mister Carew, Missus Carew, it’s been a while,” greeted Corinne with a faint polite smile.


    ‘Did she just call me Mister Carew?‘ thought Marvin with a frown. Then, out loud, he asked, “What did


    you just call me, you ungrateful child?”


    Corinne sat on an armchair that was quite a distance away from where the Carews sat. She took a


    deliberate sip of the Blue Mountain Coffee that the maid passed her before looking up and saying,


    “What’s wrong with calling you Mister Carew? Isn’t that your surname after all?”


    After finding out she had no blood rtion to Marvin at all, Corinne could not, and would not, call him


    ‘Dad‘ anymore. He was not her biological father, and he was not the one who brought her up either. No,


    a person like him who threw her away to the countryside did not deserve to be called a father.


    Marvin red at Corinne, who he found more irksome as the minutes ticked by. He scoffed and


    lectured her, “Corinne Carew, you shouldn’t disown your father just because you’re married to a


    wealthy man now. Besides, you know very well just how you came to be Missus Holden!”


    Corinne raised her eyebrow while her eyes trembled with anxiety. “You seem like you know very well


    how I came to be Missus Holden too, Mister Carew.”


    Before Marvin could say anything, Sherlyn cut in angrily, “Not only does he know, but Mom and I know,


    too! Corinne, no


    secret can be kept hidden forever in this world, so I highlyBelongs ? to N?velDrama.Org.


    suggest that you drop the act ande clean with your crime. That way, I might find it in my heart to


    show you mercy, step- sister.”


    Corinne chuckled. “You, show me mercy? Sherlyn, pray tell, did I do something wrong to you again that


    you’d need toe to my house to show me mercy?”


    The words ‘my house‘ was like a thorn that stabbed Sherlyn’s heart. She felt as if someone had taken


    possession of her belongings. “Your house? Just how shameless can you be, Corinne? You know very


    well this is obviously my house!” she said angrily.

    Lilliana leaned gently against Marvin and said softly, Corinne, I advise you toe clean while Sherlyn


    is still willing to show you mercy. We all know that you took Sherlyn’s ce to marry into the Holden


    family, so there’s no use hiding it from us anymore. Now, be a good girl and kneel. Apologize to your


    father and sister.”


    Corinne narrowed her eyes. “How did you all know about that?‘


    Her question sounded like a confession to the Carews, which angered Marvin even more than ever. He


    pointed at her and snarled, “Corinne Carew, I didn’t raise you to be a shameless daughter! Have you


    no morals? How can you steal your sister’s husband? Did you know you turned us into aughingstock


    within our circle of family and friends? If I knew what was going to happen, I shouldn’t have brought you


    back from the countryside!”


    Corinne found what Marvin said a little funny because it was


    through her ster exam result that she was about toe to New Capital City to study university with


    a full schrship. Marvin did not do anything. Besides, he kept emphasizing that he was the one who


    brought her up, but did he?


    Corinne understood their purpose for visiting her after she saw how Sherlyn kept making trouble for


    Bowen. It was just that…she did not know how they found out that she had be Missus Holden.


    “Why aren’t you saying anything? Could it be that you’re wracked with guilt now that your crime has


    been exposed?” sneered Sherlyn when she saw how silent Corinne was.


    Corinne sighed and lowered her head as though she had no right to face them. “Since you all know


    what happened…I guess the only question is…how do you all n to punish me?”
