Chapter 582
Maxwell felt that someone was looking at him. He looked in the direction of that gaze and got slightly
stunned as he was taken aback.
He was attracted by a familiar bearing of the girl who was around Anya’s age. He became slightly
dazed as if he thought of the past. However, he did not look at the girl for too long, and he walked
straight out the entrance.
Corinne’s gaze did not follow him to continue observing either. Herplicated expression finally
returned to calmness.
Maxwell once hurt and betrayed her mother, giving her mother no way out but to run away from home
with her when she was still at a very young age. That was why Edgar disliked him so much!
Corinne had no memories of her father, not even a blurry shadow. She figured this jerk
probably did not take good care of her much when she was a child. Therefore, for a child, there was
nothing to remember about him!
“Emily!”
Just when Corinne was spacing out and lost in thoughts, a pair of aged hands suddenly grabbed her
tightly! She was shocked and she looked up to see that it was an olddy.
The olddy looked worried as she looked at her. “Emily, why are you home sote after school? You
went somewhere to y again, didn’t you?”
Corinne was stunned, “Ma’am, I think you’ve mistaken me for someone else-
The olddy seemed to not hear what she said. She just went on talking to herself, “Emily, you’re not
allowed toe home sote in the future. You’ll make your father and I worry!”
At that moment, Maxwell already got to the door, but he suddenly stopped in his tracks when he heard
his mother-inw calling out Emilly’s name. He turned around and saw his mother- inw, Gertrude,
was talking to the girl earlier who had an outstanding air to her
Corinne said a little helplessly, “Ma’am, you’ve mistaken me for someone else. I’m not the Emily you’re
looking for!”
The olddy who looked kind furrowed her eyebrows and started lecturing her, “Enough, Emily. Stop
going against your father and me! You have to listen to us. You’re not allowed to hang out with that brat
from the Riveras anymore! You can tell he’s a heartless person by the look on his face. You’ll get hurt if
you get together with him!”
Both Maxwell and Corinne were at a loss for words.
Corinne could tell the olddy’s identity by inferring from what she said. The olddy was Maxwell’s
wife, which meant she was Corinne’s grandmother.
Her grandmother seemed to have mistaken her for her mother. Emily was her mother’s name.
Sunny ran over to pull the olddy away. “Grandma, you got the wrong person again. She’s my friend
and not Emily!”
Gertrude shook her head and said in a slightly eager and excited voice, “Emily! She’s Emily! Emily is
back!”
Sunny felt hopeless. “Grandma, she is not!”
Edgar cleared his throat loudly, then he came to them. “Stop it, Gertrude! You’re frightening the
children!”
Gertrude looked at Edgar, tears of sorrow welling in her eyes. “Edgar, it’s Emily! She’s back. Emily is
back.”
“Alright, alright. She’s back, she’s back!” said Edgar, going along with her. He seemed to have gotten
used to that. He walked over and pulled his wife to his side before he looked to see the young girl his
wife insisted on pointing at. Edgar was stunned. Which family was she from? How could she look so
simr?
Corinne blinked. Because she truly felt a little awkward being stared at, she smiled and let out a peal of
forcedughter.
Gertrude’s eyes were reddened and her face was covered in tears. “Edgar, it’s Emily! Look, Emily has
returned.”
Edgar regained his senses and sighed deeply. “Mm-hmm. I saw it. I did. Gertrude, it’s time to take your
medication. Let’s go. I’ll take you to first have your medication, then we’lle and see Emily after
that.’

He coaxed his wife while making her turn around. He was trying to first calm his wife down. Corinne
looked at their backs with slight confusion and mixed feelings.
