Chapter 392
Jeremy heard on numerous asions that Corinne had a hard life in the past, but he never thought
that they would treat her so terribly. As if having a stepmother and stepsister who treated her like that
was bad enough, even her father did not seem to show any care for her.
Jeremy looked down at the indifferent little girl in his arms and felt his heart tense up. He could not
imagine how much suffering she had to go through in the Carews as a child to be able to act so
indifferently in such a situation.
After listening to the Carews’ ludicrous statements, a cynical smirk appeared on the corner of his lips.
“Why should you switch ces with her? The woman I wanted to marry has always been Corinne, not
anyone else.”
Sherlyn did not believe it one bit. She felt that it was Corinne’s sweet talk and interference that made
Jeremy confused.
“Mister Jeremy, how can Corinne be the woman you intended to marry? You can’t believe a thing she
says because she’ll say all sorts of sweet words to win you over! The person you wanted to marry was
me! I even received the engagement ring you sent me! Look!”
As she said that, she raised her hand to show him the diamond ring she had ced on her ring finger.
Jeremy looked at Sherlyn’s moderately rge diamond ring and had the most insipid and
expressionless face ever.
Then, his rough palm reached out to grab Corinne’s small hand. He stroked her slender ring finger
until, finally, his
rough fingertipnded on the diamond ring. Then, he held her hand up and waved it in front of the
Carews.
“Sorry, but this is the Holdens’ special engagement ring. I’ve never seen yours before.”
Sherlyn frowned and was a little confused. Back then, the
person sent by the Holdens to give the dowry told his mother that a certain ‘Miss Carew’ had already
epted the diamond ring from Jeremy. During that period, a diamond ring was also sent
anonymously to her.
‘Who else could the sender be if it wasn’t Jeremy? How could something so coincidental happen? It
had to be Jeremy who wanted to marry me!’
Sherlyn was already bing a little psychotic, and after thinking for a moment, she pointed at
Corinne and insisted, “I know what happened! It was her! She stole the ring and switched it while I
wasn’t paying attention! That’s how she managed to trick you of your trust and take my ce!”
Jeremy’s eyes became gloomier, and he was disgusted at her as he said coldly, “The ring that Corinne
is wearing is unique to the Holdens. It was forged using tinum and several other special materials,
making it impossible to take off without a special liquid lubricant. How would she have stolen it from you
if you couldn’t have taken it off when you put it on?”
Sherlyn could not have factored that into consideration, and she immediately felt dumbfounded.
“But… H-h-how…”
Jeremy took Corinne’s hand and caressed it like the most precious thing. “Besides, I put this ring on
her when we got
engaged. Now, do you still think I’d mistake someone else for the person I wanted to marry?”
Sherlyn was astonished. ‘Engaged? Jeremy was engaged to Corinne?!’
She had her mind set on not believing a word of what Jeremy said and shook her head vigorously. “No!
That can’t be! Mister Jeremy, why would a man with such noble status as you fall in love with a country
girl like Corinne? A popr actress like me is obviously much more suited to be your wife!”
Jeremy cocked his eyebrow and looked emotionlessly at her. “I wonder where you got the impression
that I’d ever fall in love with you.”

“Uh…”
Sherlyn lost her confidence, but she remained a little
dissatisfied. “If you can fall for a country girl like Corinne, why would you look down on someone like
me? I don’t understand how I’m worse than Corinne.”
“Pffttt! Hahaha!” someoneughed.
