Chapter 386

The fact that Corinne lowered her head seemed to have made Sherlyn haughtier. “How do we plan to

punish you? Well, that depends on my mood and how sincere you are in apologizing to us.”

At that moment, Lilliana sighed helplessly and gently persuaded her daughter, “Forget it, Sherlyn.

Corinne is your sister after all, so you shouldn’t punish her.”

“I

She turned toward Corinne and said with mock compassion, Corinne, Sherlyn could never return to the

peak of her career because you took her place as Missus Holden for so long. But it’s okay, we won’t

ask you to compensate her for the loss ‘ cause we’ll just put it down as you being young and stupid.

However, you’ll need to give back the title of Missus Holden to Sherlyn, so it’ll be great if you can just

pack up your things and leave her without a fuss. Of course, you’ll need to promise us you’ll never

show your face here again and stop coming in between Jeremy and Sherlyn. I guarantee you we’ll let

bygones be bygones if you just do as I said.”

“But, Mom…that’s going too easy on her!” whined Sherlyn.

Lilliana gave her a look and lectured her, “Sherlyn, Corinne is your sister. Even if you’re not doing it for

her, you should do it for your father’s sake.”

From the look Lilliana gave Sherlyn, the latter understood that her mother wanted her to be patient. It

was more important to get rid of Corinne from the Holdens‘ estate because there would be plenty of

time later to punish her.

Thus, Sherlyn did not insist. She rolled her eyes at Corinne and said nothing for she had made up her

mind to let Lilliana

handle everything.

Marvin looked at his kind wife, and he felt both touched and heartbroken. There was also a little guilt

mixed in for wrongly blaming her in the past. He held her hand, sighed, and said, ” Lilliana, I’m sorry

what I’ve put you and Sherlyn through. I know what Corinne did was horrible, but thank you for showing

mercy to this ungrateful child of mine for my sake.”

“Oh Marvin, there’s no need to thank us! We’re family after all! ” said Lilliana gently. However, anyone

there–except for Marvin and Sherlyn–could tell she was only putting up an act.

The guilt in Marvin’s heart acted as fuel to his anger. He glared at the irksome Corinne and shouted

angrily, “You ungrateful child! What are you waiting for? You should thank your Aunt Lilliana for being

so magnanimous! Let me tell you

something: You better not screw this up. Otherwise, no matter how much she’s willing to forgive you, I’ll

make sure you get your just punishment!”

Corinne got up from the sofa and bowed sincerely. “Thank you, Aunt Lilliana, for being so

magnanimous. I’m so grateful that you’re willing to let the matter slide and give me a chance to turn

over a new leaf. Thank you so much! Don’t you worry, I know what I did wrong, and I’ll move out right

away.”

Marvin, Lilliana, and Sherlyn were stunned by Corinne’s apology.

Lilliana thought that Corinne would never leave the place without a fight. Why would anyone, when she

used every trick possible to secure her place as Missus Holden in the first.

place? Therefore, it would be more understandable if Corinne had to be dragged out of the house

kicking and screaming.

Lilliana truthfully preferred for that to happen as she would be able to show Marvin just how kind she

was compared to the evil Corinne. That was why she did not know how to react when Corinne agreed

to move out of the house obediently.

Corinne slowly raised her head when she did not hear anything from the three of them. “Huh? Why are

you all looking at me like that? Are you not happy that I’ve agreed to move out? If that’s the case, how

about I stay here with Sherlyn so that I can take care of her to atone for my sins?” she asked

innocently.

Sherlyn was the first to react. “Hmph! I don’t need you to take care of me, Corinne. You better not think

of pulling any tricks on me. You have to move out no matter what, but before you do that, you have to

explain to Jeremy what happened. Don’t you dare gloss over any facts!”

Corinne nodded and said, “Yes, of course. But Jeremy is still working right now, and it would be rude of

me to bother him when he’s so busy. I’ll wait until he gets home from work and then explain everything

to him then.”

“What? You’re going to wait for him to come home?” Sherlyn frowned unhappily. She wished for

nothing more than for Corinne to move out at that moment. Even the thought of it brought joy to her

heart.

“Then… Do you want me to call him now? Though, I should tell you that he doesn’t like it when people

bother him while he’s working. He might take his anger out of me and all of you when he’s home if the

call pulls him out of work,” said

Corinne sadly.

Sherlyn instinctively exchanged a glance with Lilliana, and the two of them started to have some

hesitations.

After thinking about it, Sherlyn angrily grumbled, “Fine! We’ll wait for him to come home, but you need

to go pack your

things now so that you can leave after you’ve explained everything to him.”
