Chapter 393


    The person who burst out cackling was neither Corinne nor Jeremy, but Bowen, who had failed to hold


    himself back at that moment. Despite his old age, that was the first time he had ever seen such an


    ordinary-looking yet incredibly self- confident woman.


    It was truly an eye-opener!


    Bowen cleared his throat in embarrassment, suppressed his out-of-characterugh, and said, “Ahem.


    My apologies, sir. I’ll go check if dinner is ready for you and the missus…”


    He then excused himself solemnly.


    Jeremy narrowed his eyes and nced icily at Sherlyn. “In what aspect do you think you’re better than


    my wife? Your character? Your intelligence, maybe? Or perhaps your image? Is there anything about


    you that canpare to even a single strand of my wife’s hair?”


    His words severely hurt Sherlyn’s self-esteem, and although she also knew that Corinne was


    frustratingly good-looking, she believed herself to be quite attractive as well. Otherwise, she would not


    have been able to enter the entertainment industry and be a star.


    ‘Why does Jeremy look down on me?! Corinne has such bad taste in clothing and always looks poor,


    so what’s so good. about her?’


    Lilliana could not stand seeing Sherlyn being wronged, so she walked up to them and said, “Why aren’t


    you admitting to your actions? You sent someone to our house to deliver the


    dowry and inform us that you wanted to marry our daughter, which was why we organized a huge feast!


    In the end, you


    never showed up that day, and our family was turned into aughing stock by all our rtives and


    friends. You’re the one to me for that!”


    Jeremy raised his cold ck eyes, and looked at the middle – aged woman who earlier self-professed


    as being his ‘mother- inw’.


    “The Carews don’t just have one daughter, do they? Haven’t you ever considered that my dowry was


    meant for your youngest daughter from the very beginning?”


    Lilliana was startled and speechless. When they mentioned’ daughter of the Carews’, the first person to


    pop up in her mind was her biological daughter-Sherlyn. She never would have thought that it would be


    the country girl-Corinne.


    Jeremy gently held Corinne’s shoulder while she was in hist embrace. He raised his hand and used his


    long fingers to tuck the lock of stray hair behind her ear.


    Then, he said, “You ought to know that the only reason you can set foot on these tiles under your feet


    is because you’re my wife’s family! You’ll lose that privilege if you keep treating my wife like this. She’s


    better off without a family like yours.”

    He then called out to Bowen, “See them off, Bowen!”


    Bowen duly came out of the kitchen and beckoned some of the servants to help him ‘see them off’.


    Lilliana immediately panicked when she saw that, and immediately changed her attitude. “Mister


    Jeremy, you misunderstood us. Let’s take it easy and talk…”


    The Holdens’ servants had endured their behavior for an


    entire day, and they were not going to give the Carews another chance to speak since Jeremy had


    already instructed the


    servants to see them off!


    After being dragged away by the servants, Sherlyn came back to her senses and yelled begrudgingly,


    “Corinne deceived you, Mister Jeremy! I’m your bride! Me! Not her!”


    Marvin took the opportunity to break free and turned around to run back to Jeremy.


    He no longer dared to act all high and mighty and said with a smile on his face, “Mister Jeremy, I’m still


    your father-inw regardless of which one of my daughters marries you. That will not change!”
