Chapter 421

Jeremy said she did not put her heart and soul into the first draft she sent him so she used up every

ounce of her creativity this time to finally complete the new drawing before he came back. She emailed

the new drawing to him and waited patiently for his reply.

‘There should be no problem this time,’ she thought. She

could finally take a mental break now that she completed the design.

She turned on her phone, wanting to play a game to relax, but accidentally caught a glimpse of the

date. Today was the last day of her three-month agreement with Jeremy.

‘Wow, has it been three months already? How time flies!’ she thought. Her relationship with Jeremy

was a little

complicated. ‘If Mister didn’t express his intention to have a serious relationship with me and I didn’t

agree to give it a thought then. I’d be packing up my things to leave this now.”

Previously, she waited for this day to come but now she did not want to leave that much anymore.

In the half-month that Jeremy was abroad, he would video – call her every night just so that he could

see her, talk to her, and tell her goodnight. She was more than happy to accept his video call and was

curious to find out what he was up to as well. She was starting to miss him a little bit.

‘Maybe I can consider making this relationship official once he comes back,’ the thought made her

blush, ‘so this is what it feels like to miss someone.’

She tapped on the messaging app, wanting to text him to ask him what he was doing. However, the red

circle with the numbers 99+ at the top of her chat window caught her eye. She took a closer look and

discovered that the profile picture was a pretentious selfie of Sherlyn.

Corinne raised her eyebrow, clicked into the chat window, and started to read the messages. Each

sentence, without exception, was punctuated by a spattering of swear words. Sherlyn sent those

vicious messages ever since she and her parents were kicked out of the mansion that day. The

messages got even more vicious as time passed.

Sometimes, Corinne would read the messages as a way to amuse herself but most of the time she

chose to ignore them. because she did not have the time or energy to waste on the Carews. It just so

happened that she had nothing to do today so what better time than to go home and make a clean

break from them?

Corinne rang the doorbell at Carew’s mansion. It had been a while since she stepped foot inside the

mansion. Sherlyn who had a sheet mask on her face – opened the door. Her eyes immediately

snapped wide open when she saw it was Corinne at the door.

“Oh, look what the cat dragged in,” she said sarcastically, isn’t this the high and mighty Corinne? What

are you doing here when you have the Holden family at your beck and call? Surely your own family is

nobody to you now. Don’t tell me they’re sick of you already and that’s why you’ve come here to ask us

to take you back.”

Corinne remained calm and indifferent. “I only came back to take back what’s mine,” she said with a

smile.

Sherlyn knitted her brows together, gritted her teeth, and glared viciously at Corinne. “Take back what’s

yours? Just how shameless can you be, Corinne? What could you possibly have in this house? Are

you talking about the junk in the attic? Well, sad to say but I’ve already thrown them away ’cause I

thought they were trash so what else do you want to take back?

Our father was the one who raised you up and yet you forgot all about him the moment you married

into a wealthy family. Not to mention, Jeremy should’ve been mine! I have no idea why you turned out

to be like this! Get out of here, you heartless b*tch! You’re not welcome here!”
