Chapter 384

Sherlyn smiled smugly when she saw how shocked Bowen was. “That’s right. It’s exactly as I’ve said.

I’m the rightful Missus Holden, the woman that all you servants should listen to!”

Bowen had been in all kinds of situations in his life, and he cultivated the skill to stay calm under fire.

However, at that moment, he could not help but laugh out loud at the

supremely confident Sherlyn. His laughter set off a chain reaction, and the other servants standing

there burst into laughter as well.

Sherlyn was made very uncomfortable by them laughing at her. She glared at them and snapped, “Hey!

What are you all laughing at? I’m telling the truth!”

Bowen then forced back his laughter and cleared his throat; he returned to his usual professional self.

“I do apologize for laughing, Miss Carew, but it seems like you’re still in

dreamland. Might I suggest that you take a nap in any of the rooms of your choosing on the second

floor?”

“Why you…” Sherlyn felt humiliated by Bowen. She wanted to retort but could not come up with

anything worthy. “Hmph! I don’t have the time nor the energy to explain the situation to all you stupid

servants. Just you wait. I’ll make sure each of you comes to regret how you treated me today!”

Bowen and the other servants were not worried. Instead, they looked at Sherlyn with eyes full of pity as

though she was mentally unwell.

Sherlyn gritted her teeth angrily and glared at Corinne, who was watching her being humiliated by the

servants from the third floor. Since Sherlyn could not frighten the servant, decided to change her target

to Corinne.

she

“What the hell are you looking at, Corinne? Get your *ss down here now! You’ve made us wait long

enough!”

Corinne covered her mouth and yawned. Then, she walked down the stairs as though she had all the

time in the world. Bowen, you may step out of the room with the other servants. Leave me to take care

of my ‘family‘ by myself.”

Bowen was a little worried. “Umm…”

He did not like the look of the Carews. Plus, it did not seem like they were close to Corinne, and he was

worried she would not be able to handle them. In other words, he was afraid that the Carews would

bully her.

Corinne could tell what Bowen was thinking. She gave him a reassuring smile and said, “Don’t worry.

They won’t eat me.”

“Alright, then,” said Bowen with a nod. In the end, he

respected her decision. He led the other servants outside and ordered a few maids to stand by in the

living room.

With all the pesky people out of the way, Sherlyn immediately walked up to Corinne. She raised her

hand high up, intending to slap Corinne to make her pay for her insolence. However, Corinne, possibly

having guessed what she had in mind, grabbed Sherlyn’s wrist.

“Now now, you don’t want to hit me when we haven’t seen each other for such a long time. Besides,

aren’t you worried that no one would want to marry you if they ever saw this side

of you?” said Corinne with a raised eyebrow.

Tried as she did, Sherlyn just could not shake off Corinne’s

grip, which only seemed to fuel her anger. Deep down in her heart, she did not care what Corinne

thought of her, but the latter part of what she said seemed to have triggered

something in her.

Sherlyn was in the Holdens‘ estate after all. What would

happen if Jeremy got wind of how she acted? His unfavorable impression of her might cause their

marriage to sour, so it was better for her to maintain a ladylike demeanor.

Thus, she decided to let Corinne go this time since there would be plenty of opportunities to make her

pay later.

Sherlyn pulled back her hand and gave it a few shakes as though she was disgusted by Corinne’s

touch. “Dad is waiting in the living room for you. He has something to ask you, so you better get your

*ss over there!”
