Chapter 428


    Sherlyn snapped out of the shock and looked enviously at Corinne. “Huh! Where else could she have


    gotten the money from if not by deceiving Jeremy to give her some?” she said saltily.


    Lilliana, of course, thought the same way as her. “Corinne, you shouldn’t use other people’s money to


    clean up your mess. Aren’t you afraid that the Holden family would look into this and punish you if they


    found out you use their money without their permission?”


    Corinne smiled. “Aunt Lilliana, you seem to have forgotten something very important. Jeremy


    is


    my husband so technically speaking, his money is also my money. Take yourself for


    example, has your husband ever asked you to give back all the money you’ve spent that was his, to


    begin with?”


    Lillian’s face first became pale with shock then ck with anger. She was so angry that she could not


    think of aeback.


    Sherlyn’s face looked even more terrible than her mother’s. She thought that the Holden family would


    look down on Corinne who grew up in the countryside and that they would eventually chase her out of


    the house. She did not expect Corinne to be able to control such arge sum of the Holden family’s


    money, to the extent that she began to doubt everything about her life.

    ‘D*mmit! Things weren’t supposed to turn out this way,’ thought Sherlyn.


    Corinne looked at her watch nonchntly and then yawned listlessly. “It’s gettingte so I won’t stay for


    lunch. As for the check, well, you shouldn’t care where the moneyes from as long as you got it. If


    you think the money is too little, then grow a backbone and don’t spend any of it.”


    Both Sherlyn and Lilliana did not dare to speak because they did not want Corinne to think they would


    not spend the money on the check. Even if the Holden family asked about the money in the future, all


    the signs would point to Corinne using it without their permission; the Carew had nothing to do with it


    so it was better to spend the money and worry about the consequencester.


    Marvin did not say anything too. He quietly pocketed the check and let the burly men take away the


    engagement gifts. His thinking was – Corinne could do whatever the h*ll she wanted now that she gave


    him so much money.


    In the end, the burly men hired by Corinne sessfully took away all of the engagement gifts and the


    painting ‘Geese in Late Autumn’ painted by herte mother, Nellie Nympahea, which was given to


    Corinne by Jeremy.


    From now on, Corinne and the Carew would have no ties with each other. They would all be living their


    own separate lives.


    A ck luxury minivan was parked not far from where the Carew’s house was. Aftering out of the


    house, Corinne slid open the car door and got into the minivan.


    Inside, Xante was seated in the driver’s seat and was reapplying her lipstick with the help of the


    rearview mirror while Aaron was seated in the front passenger seat ying a game on his smartphone


    to pass the time.


    Aaron immediately exited the game when he saw Corinne was back. He turned around and asked,


    “Boss, sorry to butt in your business but why do you still treat the Carews so nice when they were


    nothing but horrible to you? Besides, I’m sure it’ll be easy for you to take your revenge now.”


    Corinne massaged her temples. She was exhausted so she leaned against the leather seat and closed


    her eyes. She stayed like that for a moment before saying softly, “My mom must’ve been desperate


    back then for her to seek help from an old ssmate who she didn’t see for so many years. It doesn’t


    matter why Mister Carew decided to take me in but for him to risk his life to help my mother when she


    was at her most helpless is something I’m grateful for. From now on, as long as the Carews don’t


    bother me, I won’t seek revenge for what they have done to me in the past.”
