Lilliana no longer wanted to put up with Marvin''s crappy attitude. "I''ll see you in court, then! I''ve been married to you for so many years, raised a daughter for you, and now you want me to leave with nothing? What a joke! I have evidence of your multiple affairs on my phone! You''re the one at fault here, and I''d like to see what the court will say!"


    Marvin pointed at her furiously. "You''re such an insatiable woman!"


    Lilliana burst intoughter. "I''m insatiable? I can say the same about you!"


    "Why, you-"


    Sherlyn never expected her family to reach this point. Therefore, she immediately stood up and attempted to end her parents'' argument.


    When Corinne returned to Annie''s wedding, the afternoon banquet had just begun.


    Xante, Francine, and Chester apanied the kids to their seats. They had also reserved a seat for Corinne.


    After sitting down, Corinne took a moment to catch her breath. Her kids stared at her quietly.


    "Mommy, did you go out?" asked Joey.


    "Mommy, where did you go?" added Bryan.


    "Mommy, why did it take so long for you toe back?" Christine chimed in as well.


    Corinne was still feeling out of sorts; she was in no mood to exin that she had just stepped out to meet her own mother. Plus, it was no time and ce to be talking about all that, so she gave them a vague


    answer.


    Thankfully, her kids were also very sensible as they did not press for more details.


    On the other hand, Francine who sat next to Corinne was driven by curiosity. She sidled up to her and asked, "Hey, Corinne! I heard from Annie that the b*tch Sophia was here earlier! Is it true? Did you go and give her a piece of your mind?"


    Corinne nced at Francine. "She dide, but I wasn''t out to settle things with her. It''s not the right time for that yet."


    "Then where did you go? How could you sneak off during Annie''s wedding?" asked Francine with a frown.


    Corinne knew Francine''s persistent character well, so she gently patted her face. "Let''s enjoy the feast first, and we can talk about itter at home."


    Francine, however, was eager for answers. Just when she was about to say something, Corinne changed the topic. "By the way, have you ever noticed that balloon seller hanging around our hometely?" Francine paused for a moment, then nodded. "Yeah, I''ve seen that balloon seller around a few times. Why?"


    Corinne narrowed her eyes. "Keep an eye out for that balloon seller. Don''t let the kids get close, and don''t buy anything from him. There have been some cases of child abductionstely, so we need to be extra careful."


    That rmed Francine slightly. "I did find him a bit strange. After all, we never used to have street vendors like that around our neighborhood. Don''t worry too much, though. No one will dare to kidnap anyone from our family!"


    Francine''s confidence left Corinne somewhat speechless. "Well, considering your brother as a grown man still got taken, maybe it''s time to be a bit more cautious."


    Francine was momentarily silenced by the remark. "Sigh! You''re right... Okay, I''ll be careful, and I''ll make sure to let the servants know, too."
