Chapter 339

However, Pamela was wrong on one point–Corinne did love money, and very much so, though the only

money she liked was that which was earned through her abilities, and not money obtained by

opportunistic means such as marrying a man or pleasing him.

On the other end of the phone, Greg muttered angrily and said, “Come on! Is there any woman who

doesn’t like money? How can an old woman like you be so naive to believe that there are women who

don’t like money? That Corinne girl must’ve put a spell on you or something!”

Pamela kept quiet as if to take a deep breath. Her voice became a little sullen, and it sounded like she

was trying to muster some strength. Even her tone sounded a little off–color. “Try to stay home these

couple of days. If you need to go out, you must remember to keep safe at all times. Jeremy will

probably be able to deal with this hubbub on the internet. I have something to take care of right now, so

let’s talk another time.”

Corinne responded obediently. “Okay, Grandma. Talk to you soon.”

Before she ended the call, she heard Pamela’s roar from the other side. “D*mn you, Greg! Who did you

just call naive?”

The old man then yelled in pain. “Agh! Let go, Pamela! I’m a sick man!”

“Oh, so you’re aware that you’re sick? You seem a little too energetic today, you old geezer!”

The phone call ended there and the rest of the conversation was left unheard.

Corinne was amused that the old couple acted like children. Though they sounded like they were

arguing, their relationship seemed really strong, and it was not often that one saw such a happy couple.

At that moment, a video call notification popped up from the messaging app on her computer and the

chat box appeared too.

It turned out to be Sherlyn, and Corinne narrowed her eyes as she looked at the screen. Ever since she

found out that she was unrelated to the Carews, she never contacted them again. She felt that there

was no reason to do so since there was no love lost between her and them. In addition, they also

seemed to feel that her existence was superfluous.

Therefore, Sherlyn must have had a reason for calling her.

After thinking about whether or not to accept the call, Corinne decided to answer it. However, she did

not turn on her camera. After all, she was at the Holdens, and there was luxury all around her. It would

lead to yet another issue if Sherlyn were to see all of that.

Sherlyn’s face soon appeared on the computer screen, and she pointed to the camera while turning her

head to say to Marvin, “Dad, she answered the call!”

Marvin immediately leaned in front of the camera, glared at her, and asked in a loud voice, “Where the

hell have you been these days, Corinne? You haven’t come home once, and you never pick up our

calls!”

In the past, Corinne would try to be respectful and polite to Marvin even though she did not feel

particularly attached to him, since she believed him to be her biological father at the time. After finding

out that she was completely unrelated to him by blood, she ditched whatever remaining bit of respect

and politeness that she had toward him.

Corinne responded calmly, “Did you want something from me?”

Marvin scolded her. “What kind of attitude is that? You went into hiding after doing all sorts of shameful

acts, and now, our family has lost our dignity and reputation! We’re making the headlines now, too!

People have sent wreaths and blades to our home! Are you trying to shorten my life?” Corinne was

stunned for a moment. Those social media users were pretty quick to find out where the Carews lived.

It was clear that someone ‘in the know‘ had fanned the flames on the internet and leaked those rumors.

Perhaps it was only a matter of time before her marriage with Jeremy would be revealed.
