Chapter 391


    “An exnation is in order.”


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes. His gaze was focused solely on


    Corinne, and he did not even bother to look at Sherlyn’s shy expression. He stretched out his big hand,


    took the suitcase from Corinne, and handed it to Bowen, who stood beside him.


    He then asked, “What’s all this fuss about?”


    As Jeremy asked that question, he ced his arms around Corinne’s waist and pulled her into his


    arms, as if worried that she might leave for real.


    Corinne felt that it was a little inappropriate for him to hug her in front of other people, so she pushed


    his chest to try and break free. s, she could not do so, and she could only shrug helplessly as she


    spread his arms and began exining.


    “Well, it all started when you went to the Carews to fetch your bride, which you were supposed to do by


    going through the main entrance. However, you went through the back door and brought me away!


    Now that this secret has been exposed and they found out that you picked up the wrong person that


    day, Sherlyn came to settle scores with me and demanded that I return the position of Missus Holden


    to her. My only choice. now is to move away!”


    Sherlyn frowned at Corinne’s blunt way of putting things and secretly shot her an unhappy look before


    following on from where Corinne left off.

    “My sister is right. The woman you were supposed to marry in the beginning was me. It’s due to my


    sister’s penchant for


    troublemaking and taking advantage of other people that led to the present misunderstanding!


    “I came to meet her today because I felt she’s an ignorant girl who has never seen the world because


    of her countryside upbringing. I was concerned that it’d only embarrass the Holdens if she were


    allowed to keep staying here, and I believe it’s best that she and I switch ces as it’ll be more fitting of


    our respective status.”


    Jeremy listened and nced suspiciously at Sherlyn. At that moment, he finally understood why


    Corinne’s family showed up uninvited that day. The polite expression that he had disappeared in an


    instant.


    Rather than looking at Sherlyn, he gazed down at the girl in his arms and asked unhappily, “Why did


    you have to make a fuss when they’re the ones who are causing trouble?”


    Corinne pouted. “I didn’t make a fuss! You just married the wrong person! She’s the one you should


    have married, and she even wore a wedding dress to wait for you at their home that day!”


    Jeremy’s expression sank. “Enough with that nonsense.”


    Despite his anger, he did not speak too harshly to Corinne but instead toned his anger down and talked


    to her as if he was instructing a child. He wanted her to know just how serious the matter was, but at


    the same time, he was afraid that he


    would scare her a little too much.


    Corinne frowned and seemed a little upset.


    He did not seem interested to know whether he had chosen the wrong person and merely asked her


    softly, “What did you


    eat today?”


    The sudden appearance of several uninvited guests who came to stir trouble that day made him


    wonder if Corinne had eaten her meals.


    Corinne replied truthfully, “I ate a ham sandwich this


    morning and some pasta at noon. I haven’t had dinner yet.”


    After meeting the Carews in the morning, she spent the rest of the day upstairs. Bowen had her brunch


    delivered to her room, and she was quite full from the food.


    Jeremy seemed relieved that she had eaten, and his expression softened slightly. “I see. What would


    you like for dinner then?”


    Sherlyn stared from the side as Jeremy gave her the cold shoulder while speaking to Corinne in a very


    gentle and amodating manner. She became irate when she saw Corinne was receiving the


    tender, loving care that should have belonged to her.


    When she finally could not stand it anymore, she had a sudden thought and suggested, “Mister Jeremy,


    I think we should let Corinne leave while it’s still early. If you let her stay for


    dinner, it’ll be unsafe for her to bring her luggage when it’s toote.”


    Jeremy looked at Sherlyn coldly and said, “If she leaves, you’ll be sent away all the same.”


    Sherlyn was stunned, feeling her ego take a hit. “W-why? Didn’t you fall for me once before, Mister


    Jeremy? You can’t let Corinne bewitch you! She might look like a good person, but she’s one of the


    evilest schemers ever! She’s the best at pretending to be innocent and ying the victim!”


    Lilliana was also a little anxious as she said, “My dear son-in-w, you need to listen to your mother-in-


    law when she says. you’ve made a terrible mistake. The one you intended to marry is Sherlyn, not


    Corinne!”


    Marvin had his ‘I-am-your-father-inw’ attitude all the same and spoke authoritatively, “Listen to me,


    my son-in-w! You were supposed to marry my eldest daughter, Sherlyn, and you chose my younger


    daughter, Corinne, by mistake on the wedding day! This is a misunderstanding that we must correct!”
