"I have to go back to my friends'' wedding since I left my kids there," exined Corinne.


    Melinda felt relieved when she heard that. "Alright, go ahead. I''ll call you once Emily and I arrive at the new hospital."


    "Thanks!" Corinne nodded and gently patted Lilin''s head before leaving.Content rights by N?velDr//ama.Org.


    Unbeknownst to her, Sunny had been secretly observing her from a hidden corner.


    However, Corinne did not immediately head back to the wedding after leaving the hospital. Instead, she drove to the Carews'' residence, a ce she had not visited in years. Meanwhile, the Carews were in chaos.


    As soon as he got back from the hospital, Marvin wasted no time in confronting Lilliana and Sherlyn. "How could you stab someone with a knife?! Do you even realize who you''ve hurt? You''ve stirred up trouble with a bigwig, and I''m getting dragged into this mess, too!"


    Lilliana and Sherlyn were in tears as they knelt on the floor.


    Sherlyn tried to exin through her tears, "Dad! Mom and I didn''t mean for this to happen... We thought they were trying to seduce you!"


    "She''s right, Marvin! It''s because I care about you too much and was afraid that someone else would take you that I acted without thinking! Look, they''ve already punished us! Can''t we just let this whole thing go?" begged Lilliana in a trembling voice.


    Marvin scoffed. "You say you care about me? Come on, we all know you''re more interested in the properties I own, Lilliana! Let me be clear: I''ve seen through your reasons for being with me over these years! You''ve even taught our daughter all of your scheming ways!"


    "Dad, how can you say that about me? I''m your daughter!" cried Sherlyn pitifully.


    Marvin''s face was marked with injuries, and his body also bore the signs of numerous bruises. Every movement was a struggle, and sitting down also brought him unimaginable pain.


    As he was about to scold his hypocritical daughter, a sudden knock on the door startled him, causing a shiver to run through his already battered body.


    ''Those vicious men in ck had just left! Who''sing to stir up more trouble now?'' he wondered.


    The three of them were still recovering from a recent beating. They felt a primal fear at the sound of the knocking.


    Marvin struggled to rise and move cautiously to the door. He did not dare to open it but instead asked, "Who is it?" "It''s me, Corinne!"


    A hint of surprise crossed Marvin''s face when he heard it was Corinne. After a moment of hesitation, he opened the door.


    Corinne was standing at the doorway with a stern expression. She raised an eyebrow when she saw Marvin''s bruised, swollen face. Marvin was visibly frightened when he saw Corinne. "What... What are you doing here?" he stammered.


    Corinne smirked. "What''s the matter? Aren''t you going to invite me in?"


    After checking around and making sure Corinne hade alone, Marvin opened the door a bit wider. "Come... Come in."


    Corinne walked in with her arms crossed and saw the battered Lilliana and Sherlyn on their knees.


    Sherlyn gritted her teeth with hatred upon seeing Corinne''s return. "What are you doing back here? Are you here to enjoy our misery, you little b*tch?"


    Lilliana, too, red at Corinne. "You really know how to pick the time toe back huh? Only a fool would believe you didn''te back tough at our misery!"
